WE all know that animals form an Important part of this world. They add to the beauty of mother nature and make it more colourful and beautiful. Like human beings they have almost all the things necessary for normal life. And like human beings they have the right to live here, on this planet. Yet. we do not give them that right.

The only, difference that makes animals 'inferior' to us is that they do not have any of those wonderful brains we have. But that doesn’t really give us the right to torture them. We don't want to consider the fact or rather think about the fact that life and freedom art as valuable to them as they are to us. We just point the gun at the animals and shoot, without, giving a single thought to the its feelings. We take care of human beings, then what's wrong with taking care of animals. The animals don't even demand that, they just want us to leave them alone.

Most commonly, (these days) hunting and killing are meant for showing how powerful and skillful we are. We kick the >treM dogs, we .beat them Just because they're dogs? Does this indicate we are powerful people? Well, of course ... we are powerful and merciless.

We lock these animals up in cages for people to come and see and enjoy. We don't even want to know that they are starving for freedom. Even when we lock them up in cages we don't look after them properly. Just look at the incident that occurred at the Mirpur Zoo in Dhaka. The animals had to suffer to death because of personal grudge between the staff there. Talk about human rights, abolishing all animal rights! How can we call ourselves just, kind and so thoughtful after this. We have there animals behind bars and

are not satisfied. We have to make them suffer for our stupidity. The staff in the zoo was appointed only to look after the animals. Instead, look what they did. These people have no respect towards the animals (no doubt), nor towards their Jobs.

The zoo is like a prison to these animals. They haven’t done anything wrong in being animals, have they? Then why take their freedom away? Why not give them the right they owe to us? Why don’t we let them live in what ever way they choose?

This world is not only for the 1)Utitans. This WWls.'M' the animals too. They are a part of this biological world just as we are. Lets give them the right they deserve.
