Sir,
These hapless animals are tied with very short ropes and can’t move around in the lane adjacent to Sapna Book House and close to Devaraj Urs Road.
I pray to the cow owners to show some mercy, kindness, provide water, loosen the leash and take care of the calf, looking sick and pale.

Absolutely! It is heartbreaking to see such casual cruelty everywhere in the way we treat animals. And this lack of any kind of empathy for animal suffering is transmitted to the next generation too. We need more sensitive people like this writer to help open people’s eyes to the suffering of our fellow creatures (animal or human). After all we produced both Buddha and Mahavira, who made us aware that animals deserve compassion too, as well as our less fortunate fellows. When will we finally realize that when we exploit and mistreat the rest of the natural world, we do so at our peril? This callousness and stupidity is coming back to bite us now. Climate change, pollution….. We are part of nature, not its masters.
