The India that I grew up in was a country of extreme contradictions, socially speaking. A sizable minority does not eat meat and consider themselves “vegetarians”.
The logical conclusion would be that people in India are kind towards animals since they do not eat meat.
Sadly, this is not the case, remember I told you this was a country of contradictions.
Why is this so?
When I was a kid I was programmed to follow this rule,
IF you see a dog
THEN look for a stone to throw at it
This programming probably had something to do with it.
But seriously, this can only be an effect and not the real cause… I have my own non-scientific reasons as to what may be the real cause including a feverish selfishness and a dedicated disregard for others, people or otherwise.
Do you know why people don’t care about dogs or mistreat them in India ? Or If you know why, Please leave a comment.
Thankfully, I have learnt better now and don’t throw stone at people or dogs 
People are simply not aware of animal rights in India and fail to acknowledge that animals do have rights. The common excuse I hear is that an average woman/man’s life was worse than that of a dog or a pig.
People have to be kind and treat animals fairly.
What prompted me to write this story was this news article of a couple of German Tourists rescuing a Dog in Madurai, a major city in TamilNadu, South India.
I thank their kindness and hope that people learn to be kind to animals from these beautiful strangers.
Stumble it!
