If I was ever asked to point out what is it I hate about India is the apathetic attitude of people towards animals. As I sit writing this post, a feamle stray dog wails loudly that shatters my ears. It pains me so much to hear her. I can hardly sleep. I want the noises to go away but they refuse to leave me. They grow louder on me and my heart pains. The clock shows me its past midnight and I got nowhere to go. Who do I call? Who shall help me? Is there any 24 hours helpline for animals?Its so ironic. In a country where various gods are associated with animals, so many animals die because there is no proper medical facility available for them or proper shelters. I witness so many animals being subjected to cruelties. Its not only the stray animals but also the pets. They are tied without any food or water. So, many calves are not allowed to drink their mother's milk because the same milk is used for us. Some cows are given those injections for a long time to produce milk. Have you seen donkeys with their two legs tied? Its painful for the donkeys. I sign off now as the wails get louder aching me to write further.

Its the mindsets of people in India towards animals which really annoys me. I have a dog myself and I come across everyday people who react to the dog in the most negative manner. Adopt a pet and you shall realise the insensitivity of so many people to animals. In India, I just do not see the compassion in people as I obseve in other countries.
