of toxic substance that will be a single dose, kill half of the animals. Substance is forced into animals throats or pumped into their stomaches by tube, sometimes causing death by stomach-rupture or from sheer bulk of chemical dosage substance are also injected under skin into a vein or into lining of abdomen. They are also often applied to the eyes, rectum or vagina forcibly inhaled through gas mask. Why don't you try on man to save your mankind? Whatever nature has produced does it belong to you? or is it your father's property, if animals are commodities, man becomes in human and forgets that animals have same feelings as humans & they are hurted by your cruel attitude. Do you think man is supreme and most intelligent creation, has every right to do whatever he likes? Snakes, Scorpion or wild animals also never attack unless they feel danger or for hunger, which is their natural instinct. Then who is superior? Why don't you test drugs on yourself to save human beings? Why animals? Only because they are weak to protect thenselves against your muscle power? Man harasses animals only for pleasure for bull fights, cock fight, Lion attacking bulls or cows & spectators enjoy this cruel games or hunters enjoy hunting. Someone is trembling with fear. Seeing their death nearer is fun for the man eating live lobster or frog, by throwing them in boiling water, they get pleasure in dining such live animals. What a cruelty. Such unfair and unequal encounter in sports is addiction and criminality. Animals don't exists for our sake nor their sacrifice is natural and inevitable. Death means suffering even for animals. Why does fish flop on fishing boat? Why chicken beats its wings as its neck being wrung? Because they are suffering & if you say it is necessary to live, as if human life is precious is selfishness and arrogance Animals we kill must be cursing us for our cruelty. They must be feeling all bitterness of human condemned to death. Violence arises out of darkness of mind.
The cultivation of friendship, love & compassion for all the creatures, delight in virtues and indifference to vicious is human religion or world religion, not only Jainism. Every proposition is true under certain conditions i.e. hypothetically & every individual due to imperfection is liable to error & he can at a time grasp fragmentary truth of object and can't claim finality of his knowledge. So one should be ready to admit the truth of others views, tolerance for view is a feature of non-violence. Truth never takes help of others but rely on your own reason. It should be accepted if it appeals to reason and if it is contrary to the reason, must be rejected. We should be guided by our sense of just our own self alone. We should follow rationalism & condemn blind dogmatism as obstruction to truth. Blind adoration is valueless, embarassing &
