Today i happened to come across a headline in one of the leading newspapers ,which said that rhinocerous could soon be extinct in India..I was shocked..
Most of the species are anyways endangered ,because of poaching .Now they'll be extinct..
Its really sad to see the apathy of most people towards animals.
Its a common site to see cows been left on the streets.Where they are easily hit by vehicles .The worst thing is they feed on garbage ,because of which they end up eating plastic ,eventually they die soon..
Recently , an incident happened in one of the temples during some ceremony ,where it was a custom to pull the tail of elephant and chase it.The poor pachyderm, couldnt tolerate the pain of so many people pulling its tail, it went mad ..It crushed one person to death.All this was captured on camera.
Another incident that i remember ,where a leopard was caught by some villagers and it was stoned to death..
Even Bengal tigers are on the verge of extinction..
Most of the animals are killed for their horn, their skin.And all this is sold for huge sums of money..
I dont know how , this can be stopped completely.
Atleast not buying products that use such stuff ,could make a difference..
