Save Wildlife

Androcles was a slave of a merciless and cruel master. He was fed up of his slavery and once he ran away into the forest and decided to hide. As he was passing through the dense forest, painful groaning of a huge mighty lion echoed in his ears. He followed the voice and came across the den. His first thought was to run away but his conscience could not see the lion crying in pain. After long thought, he decided to help the lion. As he went near, his heart beats ran high. He lifted the paw of lion and discovered that a thorn had got stuck. He carefully removed the thorn from the paw. Out of his surprise, the lion started licking him. He realized that lion had made him his friend.

Years later, Androcles was caught by men of his master. He was put in a cage, where a hungry lion was to be released on him. Thousands of people had come to see this event. Androcles thought that his death was near and became prepared to die. As the lion was released everybody starred uneasily. His friends however stood with tears in their eyes. Lion approached the Androcles but out of everybody's  surprise, lion stood beside Androcles and started licking  him. The master was shocked on seeing such an event, An event that has never happened before in the world. The lion whom Androcles had helped before recognized Androcles as his friend and inspite of killing him, licked him out of affection.

This is the love of wild animals towards man. Today, in return, what does man gives? Death. Death to the wild animals. Man is now killing wild animals and is betraying them because of his self-interested, egoistic and vernal desires. Wild animals are the only one who liven man's life. Wild animals help to remove stress(see: blog on Stress).Watching wild animals in cave does not give fun, but watching wild animals freely gives the real sense of pleasure. It is said that several ancient ascetics used to wander in the forest with lion or tiger in order to save themselves from other wild animals. Sculptures show that they did not tie them with belts, but on the contrary, they made them move freely. They used to make friendships with other animals on the way. This is the real compassion towards animals. Spending trillions or rupees on building sanctuaries, national parks and bio reserves is not what you call compassion but sparing some million acres for the innocent, solicitous and amorous animals.

Today poachers have been a pain in the neck of forestry department. If they wish then they could remove poaching by the root but today due to corruption, this problem could not me solved. The act of poaching arises due to gluttonous minds of people. Especially tribal people practice poaching. They have the need of money and so they earn money by killing animals and selling their hides, bones, teeth etc. This problem could be solved by giving them employment.

Today, Pollution(see: blog on Pollution) is also the cause of the extinction of wild animals. The polluted air produced by factories affect the environment of the wild animals adversely. This teaches humans that how the pollution affects the bio-diversity. Today, Pollution is the root cause of extinction of wild animals. Moreover the dangerous and horrendous effects of global warming(see: blog on Air Pollution) force the wild animals to migrate but out of the fear of man's cruelty, they refrain from migrating and as a result they die. Some natural factors are also responsible for the extinction of wild life like eruption of a volcano, tsunami, earthquake, floods, drought etc but these natural factors do not affect much than the manly factors. Forest fires, caused by the human carelessness or natural factors affect the wild life. Large number of animals are gulped in the event of a forest fire. People tend to go to nature camps but their they do not maintain discipline. When they go to see wild animals, they tend to through the packets of chips and chocolates which are so toxic that innocent animals, on eating it unknowingly face painful death.

Today, dire need has arisen for the preservation and conservation of the wild life. Human life is pretty mechanical and it is the wild life that prevents it. Planting dense and huge trees helps in saving the wild life. Nature is the dwelling of animals and was the home of man too but since man has renounced that home and has created his own sluggish dwelling in which he today cries for his misdeed.

Man is not the only one in this world, but along with him there are animals, plants and other bio life of whom he has to also take care.
