Animal Rights 1

As most individuals know, we are in a mixed world of humans and all sorts of animals around us. We have each been taught in science in school or heard on the radio or seen on the television the importance of unity and balance kept among all.When we mention animal rights, kindly do not immediately think of your personal pets only. An animal could be any animal ranging from a deer to a tiger to a pangolin or anything that you might have seen in the woods. Remember that only you can save them by putting and showing some enthusiasm towards animal rights.


Firstly, illegal poaching and game hunting is strictly prohibited. To the people, please kindly look at the tigers as an example. About 50 years ago, the used to be around 400 to 500 wild tigers residing in the forests of West Malaysia. Currently, their numbers have dwindled to around only 50 to 60 tigers left in our woods. We can only hope that the adults will do something about this issue so that their children in the future might actually get to see a tiger before their species is extinct. Only time will tell.

Secondly, some land has to set aside as a sanctuary for the various wildlife in our tropical country. It really angers me to witness the massacre taking place on the various hills and forests around Kuala Lumpur. Good examples would be areas such as Mont Kiara, Sri Hartmas and Damansara. These areas used to just be untamed wild areas which were worked on to cater to the international market in the country. Good examples can already be seen of the side effects of the heavy work taking place with the migration of birds and depletion on the number of creatures remaining alive.


All that we can hope is that members and organizations like PETA and WWF will use the power entitled to them to save the remaining parts of the Malaysian rainforest before all is lost.
