15 Ways In Which Life Sucks For Animal Lovers

Animal lovers think in depth about why most don’t understand the fact that just as human beings, even animals have a heart that is keeping them alive and a mind of their own that makes them feel the pain. And if you share this thought with the people around, they give you weird glares, dismiss the whole thing and change the topic right away. At this you feel detached from your social group, sad, angry and you know, just sad! But this is not it.

There are many other kind of struggles animal lovers face on a daily basis, and some of the many are-

1. A lump in your throat develops instantly when you see a hungry dog sniffing for food in garbage

And you neither have snacks in your bag nor a grocery store in the vicinity!

 

2. When people ask “are you a dog person or a cat person?”

There is something called universal love. I think.

 

3. When an animal wails in your neighbourhood and your neighbours hurl stones at it because they think it is a sign of a bad omen

You may not have a heart, but that animal does!

 

4. When you play with a street pup and your friends go, “dude, don’t touch me with those hands” or,

” are not you afraid of catching infection?”

 

5. You can watch the most disturbing of movies but can’t muster the courage to watch Marley and Me!

Or any other sad animal movie for that matter.

 

6. You also can’t read posts about cockfights, animal slaughter…

..or any kinds that describe animal sufferings without taking several recreational breaks in between!

 

7. Regardless of how considerate your romantic interest is of your animal love..

..one wrong move from their side and your view of them changes from a romantic to a heartless douche in a snap!

 

8. That time when you cried your eyes out trying to save a dying animal

And your neighbours have reacted saying, “Are you crazy, that’s just an animal?”

 

9. You question humanity when you see people throwing stones at animals for fun

But you hate humanity when you see parents teaching their kids to do that for enjoyment.

 

10. You feel saddened to find cows surviving on streets instead of proper cattle farms

Why! Just why!

 

11. During Diwali, you remain depressed about the pain dogs go through

For those of you unaware, hearing power of dogs is many times more than that of humans. And it is a festival of “not crackers but lights”!

 

12. The mere thought of birds getting chopped off in mid-flight during kite flying seasons shakes you up

Can’t even think!

 

13. You are all for your non vegetarian friends, food chain and economic opportunities but..

..at the same time you can’t help but feel for the animal that got slashed to become a decorated yummy food! Like his heart just stopped beating! Slashed into two, alive!

 

14. You want the deer to live and prance happily but you also want the tiger to have his meal

Ahh the virtues of the food chain!

 

15. You feel claustrophobic when you see chicks stuffed into cages..

..and the recurrent thoughts in your mind go “How would the chicks be feeling?, Are they immune to all the torture now?”

Sometimes you feel so saddened at the plight of animals that you pray to God that if there is something like next birth and if he is planning to send you as an animal, you plead to be born in a place where people are not harsh towards animals and where there is sufficient food.
