Voice of The Mute: #1

Hitting possums and iguanas for fun? Laughing at the plight of the animals. Enjoying their massacre for Days. These are some things which are involved in our festivals. Festivals which promote the brutal massacre of animals depict the inhumanity of the world. Across the continents , these innocent beings are tortured to death at the name of celebrating "festivals."
Animals help humans to survive in the Eco system and In turn we slaughter them for their meat. Such outrageous behaviour during festivals occurs across all continents. In Mexico, ducks are hanged and their neck pressed till blood oozes out. The tradition of eating dog meat in Yulin is one such gruesome act which makes one shiver.

Though dogs and puppies are considered cute and loved by all, some Chinese do not agree. The Yulin dog eating festival is a ten day event in which close  to 10,000 to 15,000 dogs are killed and eaten. At first these dogs are collected and locked in cages. Then these people notch up their cruelty and starve these dogs, torturing them. Later, they are butchered and dog meat is sold as a delicacy. This festival takes place during the summer solstice. The locals believe in the tradition that eating dog meat brings luck and prosperity. I don't believe anyone is blessed by slaughtering poor living beings. The bewildered look and innocence in the eyes of the dogs does not stop the locals from killing them. Many activists and celebrities are trying to ban this festival. PETA and many other animal welfare organisations are against the Yulin festival.

Animal cruelty is on the rise and if not stopped will lead to our undoing.  Such vicious and violent practices have to be stopped. These living creatures play a significant role in our lives. Dogs are considered our best friend. Harmless dogs and puppies should not be killed in the name of tradition. These animals are our fellow living beings and should be loved as respected. We have no right to take the lives of living beings to whom we cannot give life.
