thinking of this.....

hey guys

I was going through a diary writing in rediff .com, came across a writing about a girls experience..
She talked about an experience during her childhood... when she wanted to bring in a stray puppy as her pet .. her father did not allow and shouted at her and threw the puppy out of the house, when she was very adamant about keeping the pup as her pet . The father took the girl to a place and showed an old man sleeping in the bus shelter and asked if she would take the old man into her house and feed him?.....

I think this question does have a message to all of us who fight for the cause of the street animals.. or in that matter the animal rights.....

We fight for animals being tortured ....are we bothering about the innumerable humanbeings tortured by so many elements around the globe (read the armies of the world including the so called saviours of Iraq people and so many other anti social elements)....

We bother to take a stray puppy on the road to the blue cross and get branded as saviours of animals.... but how many of us really bother to do anything for the numerous people straying on the roads ,begging,mentally ill and so on...

Will the same mind allow us to keep the old man in our house and feed him... even if he eats as little as the puppy does... and does not need anything else from you?

No doubt ... we are HUMAN BEING..... but the question here i s
are we BEING HUMANE.........................................?
