are you human?

google the word 'human' and you will come across the definition of 'human'. you will come across definitions such as "A human being, esp. a person as distinguished from an animal or (in science fiction) an alien" or "Of or characteristic of people's better qualities, such as kindness or sensitivity"

well i think thats because human wrote that. so they tend to be biased toward their own race. isnt that very humanish?? i cant deny that i am too, human and i cant reject the argument that not all human are like that. only certain. well, im sure only certain dogs attacked human but why all stray dogs are being hunted down like a piece or garbage?

i just came across an article on how a mother bear killed her own cub and then committed suicide.
(link to the article)

here is the excerpt:

Traps were laid in the wild illegally. When the bear was trapped, she lost not only her paws and four limbs for a good fortune of money, but she was locked up in the cage and had to endure daily torture of bile collection up to 25 or 30 years. This bile collection process requires a hole to be cut in the bear stomach and an iron pipe inserted into the bear gall bladder. Bile was then taken several times a day. The entire procedure was done without anaesthetic in order to save cost. The pain was excruciating. The bear could not bear it and attempted to kill herself by punching her stomach. However, human prevented this suicide act by forcing the bear to wear an iron vest. With this iron vest, her movement was restricted; committing suicide was an impossible task. A mother bear knew it too well. When the bear worker wanted to open up her cub’s stomach, the mother bear broke open the cage and went after the cub. After failing to release the chained cub, she hugged the cub. The mother bear then killed the cub to save it from a life of hell.

...

Reluctantly, I followed him back to the bear room. Under his instruction, four sturdy workers brought in a cub and tied it up with chain. The cub looked at everyone with horror. When she saw me, her eyes brightened up. The cub dropped to her knees and begged me. I felt tears in my eyes.

Zhang waved his hands, instructing the workers to start the surgery.

In great despair, the cub lifted her head and cried, “Wooo....” She burst into tears. It was the most sorrowful and soul-touching cry I have ever heard in my life. It was as if knowing the human language, the cub shouted out the word, “Mom....”. Even the workers were startled.

At that very moment, an extra-ordinary shocking scene took place. A bear in a cage let out a loud cry. With her large hands and all her strength, she pushed open the thick iron bar and jumped out of the cage. The workers were terrified and fled away immediately.

Startled, I didn’t move. It was as if my legs had grown lead and I was not able to move an inch. However, the bear ignored my presence. She rushed to the cub. With her large hands, in awkward movement, she frantically tried to release the cub from the chain. Despite her best effort, she failed to release the cub. So, she kissed the cub and nestled her in her arms with a heavy heart. She licked the cub’s tears lovingly, crying, “Hmm ..hmmm....” to soothe the cub. The cub cried out, “Hoooo....”, as if calling her mom, asking her for rescue.

Suddenly, the bear let out a loud cry. With her large hands, she strangled the cub’s neck with all her might. She roared as she strangled until the cub’s body fell to the ground. Then, she released her hands. Looking at her dead child, she whimpered, as if saying, ”My child, I cannot save you, but you are not going to suffer any more. I’m so sorry.”

She bit her own hair. Then, she grabbed the iron vest and pulled it off her body. Together with the vest, the metal pipe flew out of the gallbladder. The fur at her stomach was covered with red blood as it dripped out of her stomach. She let out another cry, as if she has gone hysterical, and went towards the wall. “Bang!”. The wall collapsed.



this is not new.it has been going on for centuries and it is not only happening to bears. who knows what other animals are suffering outside there. how can those who are human too described as owning characteristic of better which is kindness and sensitivity. doing such painful and inhumane things to the animals for the benefit of $, those that makes them any better than the animal. even the mother bears know the life of pain that her baby will have to go through and why a human, who is said to possess such capability to think, unable to think. maybe it is the better brain that makes them the 'better' ones. you know, the better one will always bully the weaker one.

i cant do better, nor i have the ability to help them. i can only do to this extent. writing and spreading this love to as many as possible for them to know, that we should help them, the weaker one. the one that dont know how to protect themselves. so please people, help spread this out to the people and stop all this cruelty to this animal, who i see are sometimes better than human. they too, can feel pain and cry for the pain and love.

  1. i would be horrified if i witness such a scene.. but what human can do is to share their richness with everyone.. to allow each individual to have a good taste of life.. but nowadays the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer.. oh well :/
