reportedly not a sober canine...

this is the content of an actual story on a leading english news channel...while this is funny...(not sober? what are sources saying he has been drinking???) the larger issue is definitely definitely not...
what gives humans the rights to behave as if they are any better (mind you not better off) but better behaviour-wise than some of the animals? animals world over are over-worked, under fed, beaten, traumatised, tortured, mutilated and when one of them decides to give as good as it gets, we bay for their blood?....
the way it is being handled in bangalore is barbaric....even healthy dogs with pups are being killed... in cold blood...protests are on, nothing though seems to be getting done about it....
where do you start? the issue of animal cruelty extends to far more issues...pet dogs that are continuously changed, bullocks being over loaded and beaten, horses that are so thin their bones are sticking out...where do you start? is starting a shelter for traumitised animals a workable solution? conducting workshops/ classes in schools and colleges about animal cruelty (use of leather/turning vegetarian) workable solutions?....where DOES one start? what DO you do?
