Extinct humanity

On Saturday while on the road, I saw a piglet hit by a car crying in pain and covered in blood. This was on Tughlakabad road. I've had dreams of it since and have cried feeling guilty that I couldn't do anything to save the poor little life. But what could I have done? Where are the emergency numbers for animal rescue? Where are the hospitals for animals?

In a country where after years of comitting the most heinous crime on a human, the criminal is retarded enough to still think of gender inequality and blaming a girl for instigating the crime. In a country where power and democratic rights help you get away with anything or at least delay your punishment. In a country where so many children are dying of diseases and there is no medical care for them.

In a country where humans are many but humanity on the verge of extinction, where can the animals go and who can take care of them?

  1. Agree Shilpa... Also, here a big hotshot actor gets away with bail after killing seven hapless people under alcohol influence but if convicted will spend years in jail for killing a blackbuck because that offence is non-bailable... I am also forced to think that are we even putting our priorities right???
