And we called them animals.....

Recently a particular news paper cutout posted on a popular social network shocked me. I found it very hard to digest the news but it was the naked truth. The cutout showed a picture of two small puppies and horrors of horrors a large black King cobra people, King Cobra coiled next to them. The report followed as follows. Two puppies fell into a dry well and were found by the King cobra who stood guard not allowing anything to Harm  the two little things. Everyone knows a King Cobra very well. It doesn't stay guard looking at its food.As time passed and people noticed the yelping sound of the puppies, they were as surprised as I was. They could not believe their eyes. A King Cobra and two puppies unharmed. the snake was actually guarding the two ones from any kind of attackers. The snake slithered away once it was sure the puppies were out of harm's way. And hopefully someone did rescue the puppies from the dry well. This made me think how easily animals were misunderstood. They had a better sense of understanding than us-the so called humans. At the same time when we look at ourselves what are we becoming. Where are our senses disappearing? Animals are slowly becoming humans in emotions and in thoughts whereas we the superior beings are not even fit to be called as social animals. We are becoming more like them and they like us. Animal Kingdom enjoys far more peace and prosperity compared to the human world. Where have we missed the train?  It is high time we rethink ourselves whom are we calling animals-Us or Them?
