Danish Brave Hearts

by Sharbaaniranjan Kundu



A relative has sent through e-mail photographs of a sport in Denmark wherein dolphins are killed by young men to prove that they are men, while thousands watch. The sea periphery becomes red with the blood of the dolphins killed. The dolphins are hit thrice and slit. The hapless creatures die in their own blood. Before they die, they cry like human babies. Danish brave hearts! What braveness is it killing your own children, for have you not heard, in intelligence dolphins are nearest to humans? World watchers of human rights, will you not do something to stop a human wrong like this? Political satraps, cruelty like these you cannot stop, because you need to win votes of cruel men too, to sit in the seat of power! "If majority murders minority, so be it!" is the trap of democracy one cannot do without, you think, huh!

Dear name undisclosed, rest assured, I am ashamed about them too. One wrong does not justify another wrong, right?

Clearly written by a dolphin with near human intelligence. Amazing to see how much people care about the lives of animals while near them their fellow man dies in the streets.
