Animal-powered transport, Blood sporting and what not ? In the recent days, the best creatures of the world, the animals which help humanity in many ways are being abused.

Pets are the best friends for humans and it protects our society and environment. Even dogs are used for sniffing the criminals in police department & armed forces. Also, Sea lions and military dolphins work with navy department to search the enemy divers and lost police personnel. Ċ There are numerous non-governmental organizations and societies striving hard for the protection of animals. Even I visited the blue cross society in Chennai which is doing great on serving food and building shelter for orphaned domestic animals. People for Animals is another committee spread up in many areas and concentrates on protecting the fauna around. Ċ On the contrary, animals are being exploited in many industries. Research Departments uses rats & cats for initial testing for medicines and even in cloning. Cow, Sheep and Goats are hunted badly for Meat & Skin to be used in the leather industry.

Not but the least, if not protecting them, let us not be a part to destroy them.
