Animal’s “Eternal Treblinka”

Whales are highly intelligent sentient creatures and they do care about humans.  Humans who have saved whales caught in fishing nets have remarked on the displays of gratitude whales have shown in response to being saved.   Watch the following 2 minute video to see that innocent caring in action of whales for humans.

Meantime man hunts whales in one of the most cruelest of all animal  hunts. Watch this 2 minute video to see how much we care about whales who, bear in mind, have larger minds than ours and obviously larger hearts.  The reality of the kill is much more gruesome and hideous than this video portrays.  But this is bad enough.

Famous author, Issac Bashevis Singer wrote about the cruelty of man against animal.  In an epigraph to a character he had written about who had a relationship with a mouse, this is what Singer wrote: “In his thoughts, Herman spoke a eulogy for the mouse who had shared a portion of her life with him and who, because of him, had left this earth. “What do they know–all these scholars, all these philosophers, all the leaders of the world–about such as you? They have convinced themselves that man, the worst transgressor of all the species, is the crown of creation. All other creatures were created merely to provide him with food, pelts, to be tormented, exterminated. In relation to them, all people are Nazis; for the animals it is an eternal Treblinka.

–Isaac Bashevis Singer, “The Letter Writer”

And listen to the words of the great Dalai Lama on animal cruelty…

“Life is as dear to a mute creature as it is to man.  Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not die, so do other creatures.
–The Dalai Lama
