Cracker less Diwali - Meatless Eid

Diwali the festival of lights may bring joy to humans, but it is an absolute nightmare for pets and animals. Many a times the burst of crackers affect them mentally and some times physically too.

Many NGOs came out with the plan of Cracker less diwali, Safe Diwali. They even conducted campaigns and explained about the after effects of crackers especially on animals.

It is for sure that Animals go through lots of pain during the time of diwali. A small sound of cracker will make them run like head-less chicken and they will search for dugout to stay away from the sound.

On the other hand, there are organizations which talks only about child labour. The fire cracker Manufactures make money by employing young kid for making the crackers.

My serious doubts / Thoughts

• Where are these social reformers going when it comes to slaughtering of Cows, animals, pets  during the time of Eid

• Why are they making hell a lot of noise when animals are getting feared because of sound  but keeping quiet when they are being cut into pieces.

• There are more number of meat outlets in the country than the firecracker manufacturers. Dont they count on child labour.

• Though risk involved in the child labour in a fire cracker industry is much higher in meat outlet, a child labour is a child labour only.

On the other hand, the crackers are burnt even during other festivals also, but the intensity is less compared to diwali. When people can talk about artificial fireworks, why cant they come up with a food that tastes exactly like meat and distribute to the general public, instead of killing the animals

Please don't get the feeling that i am talking against my Muslim brothers, Its for all the people belong to any  religion who kill the animals and eat the dead remains.

The NGOs and the  social reform organization are more attracted towards "Cute"  "pretty"  animals and forget about the "non-cute" non-pretty" ones. Please remember Cuteness and prettyness is subjective and animals should be not be discriminated based on the looks and appearance.

If NGOs or social reform organization plan to ban crackers, let them ban killing of animals also. 

Hugs and Eid wishes to all my Muslim Brothers & Sisters..

Save Tiger - what do you mean?

Off late, huge talk is going about "Saving Tigers". Good initiative, Good Move, but what can i do? Rather, What can a common man  do. All a common man can do to tiger is, just watch it from 300 or 400 meters in a Zoo. Some people can take photos using a hi-fi , hi-resolution Camera or with a Mobile device. Nothing more a public will do or can do.

This message should be sent to all politicians, Actors, hunters and to all people who has a [*Valid*] license for guns. Other than these animal killing people no one can stop the growth of the tiger.


what difference will it make if Dhoni comes on the screen and say "Save tiger"..., when there are 1000s are khan's who are ready to kill it and show of their hunting talent. 

Its pathetic to see so many people joining the forum "Save tigers" in many of the community sites. All they can do is just write one liners and no one can do any productive thing. Though the initiative is good its just that only common man thinks about saving the tiger. Politicians and Hunters will never care about this.


Btw, if a situation comes where "Goat" or "hen" is going to get extinct will Non-Veg eating barbarians have the courage to stop killing and eating animals. We all know there is always partiality going on in every sector of our government, now it has gone to animals too. There is should be rule saying that "NO" animal should be killed by anyone.  


Spare animals... Love them...
