The insensitivity and brutality of Humans against Animals has always been
And still very much rampant in some dark part of the world say Asia and Africa especially
That African monkey was gunned down by humans.
Someone's child, brother and a member of some simian clan
Yes, the creator truly does make us the godhead on earth
But this world is not just our own
Our highly developed brain and thinking enable us to escape living the lives of Animals
Catapulted us to a godlike state, mocking things deemed impossible and fashioning them out to suit us best
Now according to a source this is what animal cruelty means " the act of beating, confining in areas that restrict natural movements of the animals, mutilating, poisoning and other ill-uses"
Animals are capable of feelings such as fear, cold, hunger and sadness just like we do.
And even in so many places of the Bible, can we find caution and regard for the life of Animals (Proverbs 12:10, 27:33, Ecclesiastes 3:19)
There is a Yoruba proverb that says "Before one chuck a little brood, one should first of all try the tip on oneself and knows how painful it feels"
Regard the life of all animals, this world is not just for humans
Whether it is an helpless pigeon that seeks shelter from the cold and the rain under your roof
Or it is an injured animal at the side of the road.
Be nice to them all.
