Stop!

This is something I concern but hasn't been shared in my blog. As an average Internet user, I'm sure you would have come across all kinds of forwarded emails from your friends including love stories, friendship interactive pieces, news, something hilarious such as links of videos and photos, or chain letter the cynical hoax and others.

Yesterday there came an email titled "Stop the killing of seals!" with some bloody photos attached and condemnation in response to human's cruelty towards the innocent, defenseless animals. I did receive the email of the same theme several weeks ago, with title "Stop whaling!".

Even if you are not a biology student, you are having no problem to figure out the similarity that whales and seals share. Yes they are endangered, going to be categorised as extinct animals soon. Personally I support what some humanitarian organisations are currently in their endless attempt to eradicate barbarism, urging the leaders of the world to show concern and response.

But ironically most of us are consumers in term of feeding. Not all of us are vegetarians. I had just found out actually there are more chickens than human population in the world. We don't take the slaughtered chickens, fishes or whatever belong to livestock as example because they are numerous and hardly to go extinct. If you are patient enough to reach this sentence, I hope you have got the point I'm going to raise. What is the difference of human cruelty despite the fact above? What defines cruel? Does the image of whaling overlap your sight when you visited market places, watching how the fishes got their head off?

If possibly chicken is on the verge to extinct, email titled "Stop slaughtering chicken!" would probably be spreading throughout the world.
