From Associated Press :"Ana Julia Torres kisses Jupiter, an African lion she rescued malnourished from a circus six years ago, at her Villa Lorena animal shelter, in Cali, Colombia.
Ana Julia Torres is the owner of the 12-year-old shelter that rescues sick and mistreated animals from all over Colombia."
In an age where humans are busy killing kids and attacking each other, it's good to see that animals are atleast picking up our good qualities... Too bad the King isn't intelligent enough so that we can poison it's mind with hatred based on religion, culture, country. Or teach it about Weapons of Mass Destruction. Or to fear bearded men and beliefs different from our own.
Guess he'll just have to spend his life like this - " an inferior creature to us homo sapiens - the smart ones. "
A lion can feel the blood in our veins and differentiate between lunch and caregiver . It can learn respect and gratitude.
When did we stop ?
Homo sapiens are intelligent species...and very sooon they would be able to poison even the King's minds so that even the animals can follow their footsteps! they wouldnt want even the animals to lead a peaceful life, would they?
ReplyDelete..." It can learn respect and gratitute.
When did we stop ?" we stopped when we became 'advanced'..when we 'used' our knowledge to kill people..when we 'used' our senses to cause harm to others..when we 'used' humans against humans..when we 'became' the God..when we felt we are 'superior' to anyone..when we 'wanted' the world to rotate according to our whims and fancies!
....Stay Blessed!
so simple..yet so true. absolutely right, Shammu.
