Share the planet

Let us Share

The earth was created on a balanced system. We sharing the planet with animals and plants, the whole planet was created to accommodate all of us. That balance is now in jeopardy.

Every now and then we read stories on animals being poached. People’s main concern is money and living a life full of luxury.

If it’s not poaching then it’s exposing them to things that are dangerous like plastics or food they are not meant to be consuming. Behavior is bound to change, as a person you would act strange if you ate plastic or any other things that animals eat out of curiosity.

Recently on SABC 3 showed a news program where people woke up with big holes in their bodies.  The rats in the area were tired of exploring the dirty water and eating rotten things. They started nibbling at people. Had the people kept the place clean then incidents like these would have never occurred.

Like us people, animals have rights but when a person kills an animal even if it is more than one the punishment is not as severe as it should be. The government can only do so much for the animals,   but as ordinary people we have a big role to play.

Animals have no way of defending themselves yet they are constantly under attack.  We need to realize that those animals have specific roles to play in our lives. 

Yes the Bible gives us power over animals and birds but we need to do so for pure reasons.  While we are busy with our selfish deeds, in the end we are the one’s suffering in the end. As their guardians we need to ensure that we create a safe environment to live in. People need to think twice before carelessly throwing rubbish out.
