We humans are so damn smart that we think that we have control over other's lives just like that. Just because god has given us brains to think in an intelligent and sometimes unexpected fashion, does not mean that we can just stand up and take the soul of out of the other living creäture. This is very wrong and those who believe in God will know that our religious books DO NOT preach of killing and destroying animals, birds, or any kind of natural element. We still do not understand and by our stubborn ways keep on polluting the rivers, lakes, ocean, and even jungles for heaven's sake. We have to stop this!
Just the other night I was watching the Nat geo wild ( my all time favourite) and saw the fate and destruction of Crocodiles in a well-known park of South Africa. It is my hot favourite country, and in my wish list to settle so, I immediately turned on the television volume. The documentary was about the living organisms like crocodiles and other creatures in the national park's waters that were surprisingly dying by unknown reasons. Everyone got baffled including the ecological team and the scientists. The crocodiles, the very powerful warriors who are said to be the world's most dangerous predators after the Dinos were losing their lives one by one. It was very shocking to see their dead bodies lying in the remotest area of the park where it was humanly impossible to visit. The visitors of the national park were unaware of this fact and calmly came to visit the other wandering wildlife. However, the caretakers and the trainers of the sanctuary were musing over the increasing death rates of the crocs. There was a team of animal saviours and a veteran, who decided to check this fact in detail and find the cause of death. They travelled through whole of the park and discovered more dead bodies of crocodiles and dead fish. They were even more amazed that the strongest of the strong creäture died without showing any sign of violence or fight. The days went by and more deaths were recorded. They were at their wit's end and did not know what to do. The number reached above 100 and now it was a serious cause for alarm. Then one day they found a peculiar disease in the dead bodies of the crocodiles. (I do not remember the name).
This disease stopped the fat formation in the crocodile's tail and thereby left the food undigested. They still did not know where the disease came from but they did not stop to hunt. Then one fine day a researcher examined that these crocodiles ate the poisonous microorganisms and fish that contaminated their bodies resulting in death. Now the question was where did this poison come from? Why the fish and other water bodies had those toxins in them? Then the light shaded on a horrible fact. It was the chemical factory situated near the river dam, from which the park got the water supply. This factory released a huge amount of poisonous and life-taking toxin that went in to the fish's mouth. The crocodiles prey on that and as a result were infected by the poison. The sad thing was, it was on daily basis that the pollutants entered the river basin and killed the marine world. Now the team was in a huge dilemma. The crocodiles were endangered. It was more than one and a half-year and 170 crocodiles were killed. Now the hippos and zebras and other land rulers who drank the same river water were getting affected. It was a highly dangerous situation and something had to be done. The team steadily removed the dead carcasses even though it was a hard and tedious job. After five hard months, the disease was seen to disappear. The land and marine life seemed to be getting back on track. But alas! The problem suddenly showed up again. That factory was ruining the precious lives of these creatures. Nevertheless, what could they do? Again, the mission started and now they pledged to ask the government. We only hope that it does not fall on deaf ears and our priceless dino-crocs, hippos and fishes get to breathe in a clean and crystal blue water. Amen.
