World Animal Day

World Animal Day
The World Animal Day (WAD) is observed every year on October 4 to raise the status of animals in order to improve welfare standards around the globe.I wonder ,how self -obsessed ,avaricious and gluttonous human being can celebrate this day and all the while a vivid image of last year (WAD) celebrations telecasted on various TV channels recurred in my mind.I started questioning and punishing myself.I start feeling guilty.Was i that man who before passing intermediate used to protect environment , planned to make NGO related to nature, rescued various animals and birds? I recalled the day when a stray dog chased me after i rescued him from a sewage dump and still it did'nt discourage me...Then what discouraged me ? After entering in the college the dream of doing Masters in Environment Science and running an NGO is no more my target and ambition.My vision and mission of life had changed .I have entered in the world of competition and became humbug and hypocrite.There would be lots of people like me who failed to serve nature , but i appeal everyone on this day ,let's save nature and animals now.Today is the begining .Let 's do it from now, still we can save the beautiful animals which are important part of our ecology.Thousands of animal species and sub species are in high risk of extinction and Red List of  International Union for Conservation of Nature(IUCN), is a kind of alarm.What will we leave for our future generations.We  pay top dollar to various NGO 's but still do poaching.We celebrate World Animal Day just for Twitter trolls , to appear in T.V shows, for public stunts etc but how can be a human being such self -obsessed .Let's do it now just for the sake of our mother earth and alluring animals.Let's pledge to work for the welfare of animals now.Let's not sacrifice innocent animals for our own adventure ,cheerfulness   and pleasure....
