This picture here reminds me of how my ex-best friend and her mother discussed and laughed at a donkey flying in the air many years ago. I didn't like it then. I don't find it amusing today either.
It is not such a big surprise that some of the Pakistanis stopped following cricket like mad after the disgraceful 1999 World Cup final where the Pakistani team miserably lost the final to Australia. I have since then, followed it off an on but not with much enthusiasm.
The recent news where Pakistani players are shown in a video with some bookie has given the media just another story to highlight for a few days. Pakistani players have been talented. And they have been corrupt too. I don't even care whatever will happen of this case. Just like all stories this too will just die.
But what I do want to write is that our cricket fans got angry. They put names of players on donkeys and then started beating them with shoes and sticks to take out their anger. What did the donkeys do? They have nothing to do with this entire case. It just shows how far away we have drifted from decency and reason.
In a country where human life is as good as shit, the animals are only going to suffer at large! I stand with the animals...therefore, I don't see a line behind me :P
I was writing a comment on Nadzy's posts but the comment was becoming too long so I am writing a post, which is below.
We are living in a society which is insensitive and cold. We are extremely harsh about things that do not concern us. Anything that happens in our life is the most important thing in the whole world. This is how the Pakistani nation has become irrespective of how much they boast about their culture, religion and up bringing.
It is our country where gender inequality prevails in general. It is here that people are buried or burnt alive. We see people beating boys with sticks. Women are made to walk naked. We can not even distinguish between the right and wrong leadership. Materialism prevails. We still are controlled by hatred towards religious sects and political parties. We forget what we learn. We don't have respect for humanity in general. And animal welfare is a joke to the common man. We don't believe in individualism. We follow one another and that's how we proceed ahead. Thus, we are lost as a nation...together with pride.
Though I feel, it is useless to talk about such people so strongly because they are the way they are. And it is up to them to what degree they choose to be caring or uncaring about things other than their own lives. It is however, cheap when people proudly display how inhuman they are :)
Similarly, I do think, that perhaps you may think very strongly about one thing and it is not necessary others around you would feel that way. It is natural.
I agree I am very vocal about the flaws that exist in my country. I don't believe in hiding them either. There is no point in talking about flaws that exist in other countries, when we are at fault ourselves. Though I don't think writing something on our blog can change our flawed structure, system or closed mentality. It only shows that we are lost and somewhere, somehow we ourselves, our ancestors and our leadership are all responsible for it. The intolerance you hate, persists because this is nurtured in a flawed society for decades. And now is the time that everything has become a mess, too huge to be ignored. Nevertheless, those who are lost are still lost!
I'd still hope that hope remains. And that correction will be made if just a few people realize how they can be unlike the badness around them. This is the only way change can occur.
Everyone is entitled to his/her viewpoint, but no one has the right to impose his views on others & to prove that he’s 100 % right & the other person is 100 %. There is no such thing as absolute certainty. And no mortal is God. You have the right to differ, but you don’t have the right to act as god.
I’ve usually sided with people mostly no likes to side with. Yeah I’m on the side of mentally ill patients who might harm themselves; I’m on the side of babies who are murdered on a daily basis, cause no one wants to hear the word ‘illegitimate’; I’m on the side of people who have been sexually abused in their childhood or those who are raped or sexually abused later on; I’m on the side of animals that are abused & tortured on a daily basis.
Many a time, people who couldn’t understand what I was saying had commented. Just because I don’t think like them, they are sure that I’m on the wrong path. The problem is…unfortunately I’m far ahead of time. And please do not bother to send me the verses of the Holy Quran that you might have google searched on the net, cause I read the translation & interpretation. And I have one question for all those who bitch about other sects & religions & look down on Muslims who committed suicide due to mental illness. Here goes my million dollar question: is religion a source of discrimination?
J.S. Mill defines the judges of certainty very nicely:
“To call any proposition certain, while there is any one who would deny its certainty if permitted, is to assume that we ourselves, & those who agree with us, are the judges of certainty, & judges without hearing the other side.”
This verse is from the Quran:
“The judgment is God’s alone. He relates the truth, & He is the Best of deciders.”
Well it’s pretty obvious that humans should abstain from judging everyone else. In any case, the truth does come on the surface.
Yesterday I was wondering as to what is the height of insensitivity & intolerance. Which reminded me of the rotten line: the sky is the limit. But in this case, the sky is, certainly, not the limit; such things go beyond that.
Lately I’ve observed that some educated people are also questioning the innocence of Muneeb & Mughees. Then we have cold writers & they don’t want people to get surprised, cause things have always been so in Pakistan.
A number of times I have written on illegitimate kids & how such infants are killed in Pakistan, but not even once any Muslim has bothered to comment on such topics. The suffering of unwanted infants & animals actually mean nothing to anyone.
I have even mentioned cases of suicide, incest & rape. People responded, but not like humans. One guy went mad on that annoying blognetwork. He thought I was spreading lies about Muslims…although I didn’t even mention Muslims anywhere. Rape & incest are crimes that happen everywhere. He couldn’t help telling us that bad things only happen to bad women.
When I wrote on suicide, a so-called friend sent me this email that she felt very strongly about suicide, cause 2 teenagers committed suicide in her family & she wanted to comment. In her comments which were more like lecture-cum-preaching, she wrote that those boys were selfish & had weak faith & I shouldn’t use the word victim for such people. You can’t expect much of a society which is hell bent on judging the faith of people. And yes I’m a little biased & shallow; I can’t stay friends with shitheads.
There was a subordinate of my father…he was a very selfless man. In his youth, his elder bro died & he looked after the kids of his brother. He didn’t marry anyone. He even got the daughters of his bro married at the right time, which even some real parents do not have the time to think about in the 1st place & the daughters grow old before their time (that particular so-called friend of mine didn't think staying single is a problem either). This man committed suicide.
Now I think if there is a problem then it’s with the people around the victims. It’s with everyone in the vicinity who could have done something to save a life, but didn’t. It’s with everyone who later on judges the victims. It’s a very lonely world & people do get hurt so much so that they end up taking their own lives. Mental illness is a serious problem. We need to understand it with an open mind rather than judge the patients who kill themselves.
Lately I mentioned a case in which a woman was gang-raped, then murdered & buried by 2 criminals. When I wrote it, we didn’t know that the woman was abducted; in fact, it was reported that she had an affair with one criminal, she left her home for her lover. A gentleman left a comment that he held the woman responsible for what happened as it was her fault.
When I was in uni, a girl died in an accident & students were discussing that it was her fault. Why was she standing like that in the bus? And we need 4 or 5 people to die like this…then things might change.
At the same time, I also know people who can’t help bitching about Shias, Ahmedis, & Jews. Few days ago, a gentleman said to me that it’s even a sin to talk to Ahmedis. Many think it’s okay to kill Ahmedis.
How could you possibly look down on others without possibly having a good look at yourself? You can’t even tell such people: stop judging others, start judging yourself. They are such undeveloped minds. None of us is an angel. We’re all sinners. You may project yourself as someone very nice, but it won’t alter the fact. God can very well judge all of us. Only he is in the position to do so.
You pay for everything you get in this world. You get nothing for nothing. Little happiness - little pain. Big happiness - big price. Everything comes out even.
Is the Sialkot tragedy really a very complicated story or are the facts being hidden from the common citizen?
The latest report says that all police officials involved in the Sialkot incident have strong links with PML-N government. And this fact has been uncovered by the investigation, which still continues. Almost every officer who is involved has no fear of high-ups as they have either direct or indirect affiliation with PML-N parliamentarians.
Zulfiqar Ahmed Cheema (DIG at that time) is the younger brother of Justice Iftikar Cheema, the current PML-N MNA from that area. Waqar Chohan (DPO) is also from an influential family. Rana Ilyas (SHO) has strong ties with the local PML-N leadership.
Moreover, Punjab Chief Minster Shahbaz Sharif has a habit of directly inferring with the working bureaucracy & the Police department. And this is an old habit of the Sharif family.
These are some of the facts that cannot be denied unless of course people involved blatantly lie or deny the facts. What actually triggered the tragedy is still shrouded in mystery. But we have one thing (the gruesome video) that confirms that on August 15, monsters lynched to death 2 innocent boys of 15 & 17. Some people are still painting Muneeb & Mughees as robbers & that they shot Bilal & 3 other guys. There have been a couple of cases against Bilal. Anyone could have shot him. Muneeb & Mughees were at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Even if it would be proved that Muneeb & Mughees are hard-core criminals, I will take their side, cause this is no way of killing humans. The crazy mob not just brutally killed them, but also insulted their dead bodies by hanging them upside down.
There is only one thing that I haven’t been able to understand…why Muneeb & Mughees were allowed to play cricket in that criminally infested area where crime rate was so high? Why did their parents allow kids of just 15 & 17 to visit that place every Sunday? They were just 15 & 17, not 25 & 27. How could any parent allow children to visit such places & that too every Sunday? Moreover, the media doesn’t also openly uncover the facts behind that cricket match fight.
Anyhow, the gruesome video is in itself an excellent evidence against all those monsters. All we need is a good prosecutor & the killers will be hanged for sure. Some people are demanding eye for an eye…now that is not possible. The law is not that blind. The guilty ones will inshaallah be punished.
Some people are saying that we should leave this to God. See, God also doesn’t give anything on a platter. Humans need to work hard. As my kid sister says that here God has already helped those 2 boys…the video has driven people mad. Lots of bad incidents have happened in Pakistan, but this is the 1st time, that people are speaking against this brutality, because that video can neither be ignored nor forgotten.
Before I forget, cause it’s not that important…yesterday I saw Aashiq lady taking a U-turn on 50 minutes. I couldn’t believe my ears…few days ago, she said those boys were not nice & she was on the side of the villagers, but yesterday she had condemned that incident openly. I think it’s about time she should also give gold crown to Sania Mirza’s husband. She should have been fired the day she insulted Kashmaala on the national TV. I don’t understand why she’s still around…maybe they want her to make statements & then change her very statements after 2 days.
The mother & wife of Bilal were 100 % sure that Muneeb & Mughees killed Bilal & Zeeshan. And that people mentioned in the FIR were at the hospital, so they couldn’t have lynched Muneeb & Muhees. The mother repeated this a couple of times & that says a lot. If the villagers & the relatives of Bilal were not there, then who were those monsters? It’s very easy to buy witnesses any where in the world.
More than 1400 people have signed the petition…if you haven’t signed the petition as yet, please sign it now. This is one way of helping Muneeb & Muhees get justice. And please do not forget that as Muslims we are supposed to speak against this inhuman act.
For more than 10 years, I’ve been doing research on the abused laws. I know people in our country are brutally killed every day. People have always been creative in killing each other. Beyond any doubt, we are a very fucked up nation. Even on my blog, I’ve written about incidents which many didn’t even notice as the media wasn’t shouting. But just because people were not protesting earlier on doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t protest ever.
Many are still asleep, & many are not surprised & neither they want any one else to be surprised. Many can’t step outside their heads, cause they’ve never done it before. Many still don’t care. However, there are countless who want justice for Muneeb & Mughees. I think it’s better to wake up now, then never. It’s always better to use your brain cells than be influenced by those who don’t like to be surprised ever. What happened in Sialkot could happen anywhere in Pakistan. It’s our duty as the citizen of Pakistan & as Muslims to speak against evil. If we haven’t done that in the past, we can start off now. Fuck everyone else! Do what you believe you must do. Take a stand, cause it’s surely going to make a difference.
Now what actually triggered the Sialkot tragedy? I do not know how authentic this piece of info is, but you can do the math quite easily. Up til now we have heard about this cricket fight. It has been reported on one of the channels that the guy they had a fight with in a cricket match was actually the son of a Nazim who belonged to PPP. That Aashiq lady who is from the same party said that she is on the side of the villagers, as Muneeb & Mughees were robbers & what the villagers did was right. Fat people are invariably quite funny. In a barbaric country where even the educated folks are really illiterate & are not surprised till their own kids are being stoned to death, what can you expect of villagers? When you fight with some hotshot’s son, you might be lynched to death.
It all makes sense now. However all kinds of stories will keep on circulating. We may never get to know the true story. But no one has the right to brutally kill anyone & that anyone includes the minority, the Ahmedis, robbers, murderers & hard-core criminals. No one is above law.
More than 60 people have been arrested. The corrupt policemen too are in the custody. 4, 5 accused have gone to Iran. People are protesting. We all want justice for these 2 boys. It’s going to be a long fight, but justice can be ensured.
Yesterday I forgot few things in my write-up & I don’t know how could those details skipped my mind. Anyhow, I didn’t call him Zizu, I called him Xoxo & he responded to both the names. He also had a huge crush on Laika just like his rival Snowy, but Laika has never been interested anyone.
Zizu was a very healthy cat & this was the 1st time he got ill & just didn’t recover. These 2 weeks were really tough on him. He died in his sleep in my room, which was his favourite place. While we were burying him, it seemed as if he was asleep. In all these years, none of my pet ever died in his/her sleep. It was a peaceful death.
Anyhow his foster mom Minnie has been quite upset. It was indeed a very special bond between them. It won’t be incorrect to say that Zizu loved Minnie more than his biological mom.
Well Z has named all the 3 daughters of Zizu. In fact Z even named Zizu after her own nick name. Anyhow, the 3 cute girls are named Carla, Jimmy & Lia. And they all looked like mini Zizu.
Snowy was his rival & everyone knew it. But Bonita was the one who only attacked Zizu when no one was around. Way too sly a move!
There is one thing about pets.....whether they live with you for 15 years or 2 years or just 2 weeks...they somehow touch your life in a very beautiful way. They don’t fool you; they don’t deceive you as so-called friends; they don’t hurt you; they just love you despite your faults.
The only time you get hurt is when they are in deep pain & you can’t do much or when they die.
One last thing about Zizu...he lived on his terms – that was indeed the most charming thing about him.
My cat Zizu passed away this morning. He had urinary infection & his condition was deteriorating. Although urinary infection is not like urethra blockage, but your cat could die of kidney failure eventually. He was in too much pain, so I’m glad it’s over. He’s not suffering anymore.
Well Zizu didn’t like humans as such, but he had 3 favourites: his foster mom (Minnie), his girlfriend (Max) & my room. He loved sitting on the bed, but all the while, he used to ignore me. When Minnie had her surgery, he literally used to lick her wounds & he always used to hold her as if he was giving her one big hug. He badly adored his gf. He also had one enemy named Snowy. So I guess he had a full life. Some of us are surrounded by everyone & yet we don’t have anyone in particular. He had everything.
Usually my cats are neutered, but Zizu wasn’t & he was not even 2 year old at the time of his death…so he left behind something of him. We have his daughters & all 3 look exactly their father. They are 4 weeks old.
I have been thinking that some animals have better lives than humans. They even get proper burials. Zizu not just have a family, he had a home. His life was better than so many strays, but he didn’t live that long. Maybe that’s why we met him in January 2009. God wanted us to look after one of his angels.
Anyway, Zizu you will always be remembered. R.I. P. our dear child. We may never find another stubborn baby like you, but it was worth having you even for a short while.
I can't tend to stop writing about the Sialkot incident enough. I want to see how this tragedy will receive justice. More importantly, will it receive justice or not for that matter. It is the least we could do to raise our voices. I wrote a piece just a while ago. Some former family planning minister of Sialkot area how she thinks that the two brothers are being painted very nicely by the media. She is with the villagers and claims the boys were robbers and that media is being too kind to them, where as they were robbers who robbed people every weekend.
I watch this programme on a news channel every now and then by a renowned journalist Najam Sethi. He gives sensible answers and talks about the realities logically. Today's program was also covering the incident of the Sialkot brothers. He revealed that it is the norm in this district that people have taken the law in their hands. Besides, extremely corrupt police officers were placed there who were often given medals for not doing anything. He says that since the entire culture of Sialkot is so corrupt, innocent lives were bound to get lost in some tragic incident. This culture was nurtured for a long time, which ultimately ended up in this ugly incident. Najam Sethi commented that police officers incharge such as some Cheema guy used to talk in the same language keh ulta tangaaaa dia jayee gaaa. And this is exactly what we saw. Looks like this was the normal thought process of every person residing there...they have this very strong sense of providing justice!
Many people called to say that this video should no longer be aired as it hurts them. However, just like I keep saying, the Najam Sethi painfully said that he saw the entire footage and it disturbed himself. But this is the truth, only truth will create fear and people will ask for justice only if they see how brutal the truth was. Anyway, now the videos are not fully shown. Media feels whatever they have shown has created enough sentiments. Many callers, one from USA called. He had seen the video and he was crying because he found it so disturbing. Some person from Gujranwala called and said that just a while ago the two boys were killed and then today again there is serious fight going on there and the police is not present there and people are killed again.
The good news that I came to know through this programme is that a new, honest police officeri is in incharge from yesterday in the entire district. He is Tariq Masood Yaseen. He is believed to be a true practitioner of ensuring that law is not broken. He informed that CID is looking at the crime part of this incident and will complete report in 2 days. Besides, more than 60 people involved have been arrested. Also similarly, police officials who are responsible for not ensuring that law is respected will be dealt with too. He also said, that it is time for reformation. And they will ensure the system is reformed.
It is a long way to go for reformation I believe. But, I would love to see justice. I want to see some sort of change. Give us a good shock! Surprise us! Justice kindly prevail now!
Nadzy you won't be able to read this piece. It covers what Firdaus Aashiq (some former Minister of Sialkot) is saying. This lady is saying, the media is portraying a very nice picture of the two brothers. They are not to be painted so nicely. They were thugs who used to stand out Sunday baazaar market and snatch things from people. She is with the villagers that they were right. And they say, that many number plates, 17 ID cards and some Rs 65,ooo were with the two robber boys. She is adamant they should not be given so much sympathy.
The boys uncle only confirmed that the boys did have a fight in the cricket match. If they played matches with such people, it wasn't a good thing.
I am just wondering what could have led to this? What triggered this? It was all wrong. The way it was done. Common people should learn to behave like humans.
On the other hand, I see many cold and bitter articles by some media people criticizing the society and saying that the society was always like this. Why are we so shocked now. I think we have always stood against the wrong and we all accept that our country suffered from more than one issues.
I couldn’t come up with a better title & I don’t give a fuck as to how badly it is taken. The fact is very simple - we, suck as a nation. Yesterday I couldn’t help thinking about the history of crimes committed in this state in the name of religion & humanity. One of the reasons why I stopped writing letters in the newspaper on the abuse of laws was that law was one thing & justice another.
Anyhow let’s have a cursory glance - 1st they falsely implicate people in cases of blasphemy due to personal enmity & then the crazy crowd murder those accused in the name of religion. If a clergy orders them to cast stones at a baby left on the stairs of the mosque just because he thinks the baby is illegitimate, no one thinks but does what any beast would do. In the early 80s, women were forced to parade naked in the village of Punjab by some landlords. Lately people started burning & lynching thieves/robbers. What is the justification for carrying out these heinous acts?
Different sorts of stories are circulating about those 2 innocent boys. At first they were thieves & the mob got so angry that they thought torturing & murdering them in broad daylight was neither a crime nor sin. Now the new story is that they shot a guy. People took them to 1122 rescue service to hand them over to the police…when the police didn’t make it on time, they decided to lynch the boys in their anger. (And I don’t understand as to why everyone is so angry all the time in Pakistan that they go around burning houses, petrol pumps, buses, cars, & now even humans?) It’s like providing justification for the wrong done to someone else. They are not ashamed of killing 2 boys in the month of Ramazan….they are providing fucking justification for the sin that they all committed. If someone is guilty, you hand over that person to the police. The court decides as what should be done. No religion or law allows any human to punish another being.
It’s a sure sign of doom when innocent boys of 15 & 17 are being lynched by the mob & nobody does anything to stop it. On top of it, silent spectators had the time to make videos (on the cell & camera), & take photos. I’ve lost my faith in this nation. However, I give points to all those who are protesting against this act of brutality. Signing a petition will not bring them back, but speaking against evil is what is required of every responsible citizen.
They were not just beaten to death with the help of iron rods & wooden sticks. They were hung upside down like animals who are being slaughtered. Some people continued beating them even after they were dead. Now they are coming up with different stories filled with lies.
Some insensitive people are still lost in their own world. Some insensitive people are saying that they didn’t look like Hafiz-e-Quran. How low can you get! Some are saying that it was the sins of their parents. It’s very disgusting on the part of people to go on judging & passing insensitive statements. One question has been raised by many, which is: if they were guilty? Even the guilty ones deserve a chance to prove their innocence. They weren’t provided it. The verdict was passed by a mad crowd.
I’m so sorry to say but the people of Pakistan are not illiterate, they are genuinely mad.
Anyhow if you haven’t signed the petition as yet, do that now.
Finally I see a real picture of these two brothers Munib (15 years) and Mugheez (17 years). All the pictures and videos I watched showed terrible and horrifying images. Even if the boys ever did anything wrong, the way they died would have cleared all their sins.
I just read the fuckers have given a news update, that the boys shot someone during the cricket match. The villagers got the boys along with the shot person to rescue 1122 office to hand them over to the police, but the police arrived very late. By that time, that person had died. And then the villagers got very angry and started beating them till they were dead.
I think this is one of the most fucked up things I have read today. For a second even if in a match a quarrel took place and one person was shot...why did they kill two people. Two people cant shoot one person. And even if they got mad at the dead person, who was not really in the picture before, why did they keep on beating them for so long that they died. And then they were hung like dead animals. And now what happened to that woman who was saying, they were robbers they killed her husband.
It just shows, we are so fucked up. A nation of liars. I don't know if this is how justice will be served. Only God's wrath will teach this nation a lesson.
Wolf Mountain Sanctuary rescues wolves and fosters them in a sanctuary in Southern California, as well as educating visitors about the plight of this threatened species. However, local officials recently shut down Wolf Mountain Sanctuary and demanded that the sanctuary repermit, a process this nonprofit organization cannot afford.
Even though Wolf Mountain Sanctuary complied with all regulations and held an Exhibitor License since 1987, the County of San Bernardino will not allow the organization to continue its work until it files paperwork to receive a new Exhibitor License. The sanctuary does not have the resources to repeatedly file paperwork and pay the accompanying exorbitant fees. And it shouldn't have to.
The work of Wolf Mountain Sanctuary is too valuable and unique to be abandoned with so little cause. Urge the County of San Bernardino to allow them to continue protecting wolves from extinction.
Some incidents just leave one speechless – this is certainly one of them. We need to protest against this horrendous act. Morons have been killing robbers in Karachi & people kept mum about it. At that time, they were killing criminals & now they have gone ahead in Sailkot, they have started killing innocent teenagers.
This has been the most horrifying incident in which humans have crossed all the boundaries of insanity. No one has the right to kill anyone & here these people killed 2 innocent boys right in front of some corrupt policemen & countless other silent spectators. Who has given them the authority to torture humans in the 1st place? Culprits ought to be punished no matter what. These boys were just teenagers (aged 15 & 17). That’s the time when one wants to experience all the beautiful. That’s not the time to be lynched by morons & that too on a false charge. These boys were tortured for 2 hours…They were just beaten by iron rods & wooden sticks; they were later on hanged to the tree & even carried around in truck. Even animals do not kill other animals like this. This incident just proves how low humans can stoop.
Culprits are not just those who tortured them to death. Culprits are all those people who didn’t do anything to stop this madness.
PS Guys, one of the pic is quite graphic, but I have uploaded it, so that people can see what happened in the month of Ramazan when we are supposed to fast, but some people were busy killing 2 innocent boys.
I’m pretty mad at those people who killed 2 brothers in Sialkot. The policemen were there, but they couldn’t help being corrupt to the core. These 2 boys were tortured to death by an extremely crazy mob. They used iron rods & wooden sticks, & killed them. 14 policemen were there, but they didn’t intervene. They played the role of silent spectators.
These boys were innocent. They were not robbers as they were painted by some genuine criminals. And the crazy mob thought it was their right to kill them.
Who the hell has given people the right to take law in their hand? I wonder what will become of Pakistan…we have crazy people & corrupt policemen. It was like criminals were torturing 2 innocent souls & the god-damn police was watching the incident. I’m ashamed of Pakistanis who did this…What’s the point of suspending such policemen? Everyone who is involved & the policemen who were there should be killed in the same manner. That is what justice demands.
I haven’t seen the video. My siblings have & according to them, it’s too graphic. I really don’t have the courage to watch this show of insanity in which humans forget that they are humans. I feel so sorry for the mother of these 2 brothers. I could go on using swear words for the bastards who have done this sickening act…but then what? Nothing would change. They are dead & they went through hell, thanks to these corrupt people! And here some of us can’t even watch their death scene.
I can’t see as to why people complain about having Zardari as President…corrupt nations deserve corrupt Presidents. Well I’m thoroughly ashamed of my people; they simply embarrass me now.
May the souls of these 2 brothers rest peace! I don’t expect much of Pakistanis. They think it’s their birthright to terrorize anyone they can. And we all know what happens to such countries. I just hope that Butt brothers get justice.
Zizu & Coco have been sick…naturally we visit the clinic quite often. Zizu has urinary infection & Coco has been bitten by some parasite & she has fever.
Yesterday we encountered a very entertaining couple. Their dog was in a miserable state. I don’t know how old he was. But another vet has asked them to euthanize him. He was a Labrador. Maggots are eating away his leg & he also has some internal problems. But the couple was clueless about everything. They give him dog food (which has done a lot of damage) & when this vet suggested that they should at least boil meat for 10 minutes for the dog, they just couldn’t digest it either. All along they were arguing with each other. The giant husband was holding his cell phone next to his huge ear all the time. They wasted so much of everyone’s time by telling us all that they know nothing & whatever little bit they thought they knew about dogs was useless. We all waited like anything for the drama to get over, but they really liked to hear themselves argue in front of every one.
I think keeping a dog (or any other animal) is one big responsibility. Some questions ought to be asked when you decide to keep a puppy. Animals are very sensitive creatures. They need attention & love. You may like the world to know that you care about animals. But if you can’t take care of them, please don’t bother to keep one as a pet. Had I been in America, I might have reported this couple.
And by observing that weird couple, I couldn’t help drawing the zillion year old conclusion that marriages are indeed made in heaven :P
These are some pics which I’ve gathered from here & there. What you see in them is even worse in real life. It’s heart wrenching to see people fighting with nature, which at times can be so very cruel.
Lately, I’ve observed that people are trying to help out these victims. I personally know people who are doing volunteer work. However, the government, as usual, is in a deep slumber.
Anyhow, please donate…little bit of help matters. Donate miserly or generously, but donate. I heard this hypocrite gentleman (who can’t help looking down on people in real life) saying on TV that anyone can give money (many are not even doing that), you must go there & feel it. No matter how strongly you feel about any catastrophe, you can’t always do the impossible. Although impossible is the kind of thing that can be done. If nothing else, if you could take out the time to pray for these victims, do that…even that would count. I’m so sorry to say but in order to feel what insurmountable misery is in reality, you’ve got to experience it yourself.
And even on this occasion, some people can’t help being low. They couldn’t help sending thousands of expired stuff. What’s the point? It’s even difficult to get rid of such items. Yesterday my brother was telling me that a man donated 1000 milk cartons that were all expired.
