A CALL TO END CRUELTY
Your recent editor,s note about cruelty to animals refers. I have also been thinking about the reasons why some people are cruel and throughout history it has been showed that humankind has always had the tendency to be cruel and un-humane to animals. This I think is due to the fact that they are defenseless. There are many people in SA today who do not have jobs and therefore nothing else to do!
Through the centuries much cruelty took place -- people killed animals with no regard for the animal's welfare, it reminds me of a cruel and barbaric practice called "pate' de foie gras' that still persists in the world today whereby geese are force fed to the point of death at which point the liver is removed and prepared into a paste or spread. Another recent example of man's cruelty to animals is where horses were used in warfare and whose bodies lay strewn across many battlefields and what about the many laboratory animals that die horrible deaths in their service to fickle man.
I think that in every human being there is that something that can trigger cruelty. Please let us stop the cruelty and lead our youth, the leaders of tomorrow to an animal friendly and caring consciousness.
