Being Compassionate to Animals

It's a part of our social obligation to live in privileged union and inalienable harmony with Nature and other living things on earth. Love of animals makes us human in every sense. We are the caretakers of animals, and if we serve them compassionately, we have got the divine wisdom that spreads light of kindliness and universal sympathy.

Animals are to be treated like our brothers, sisters or children. We do the right thing if and only if we take them as a part of our whole family. Once when a kind gentleman introduced himself, he said, "We are a happy family of five: my wife; my son; my daughter; Bonny, our boy; and myself". Bonny is actually their pet, a dog but he could never point at him as an animal. He is their 'boy' literally! And, they live together, communicate to each other well, and the relationship is really unmatched. Bonny enjoys every moment of it and he is very understanding.

On the other hand, cruelty to animals makes us murders and criminals in no time. The wicked act or behavior is a punishable offense against God who created all. It is a pity that those 'dumb creatures' who can't use speech like us to demand their rights or desires are often neglected and left to die on the streets. We kill them mercilessly. Our vehicles run over them when we make our pleasure rides.
