when i read about this in the papers i wondered 'what sort of a greed is this?' 'who are such insane people who can go to such limits?'
killing... unwanted killing... a greed to kill animals... animals who cant even fight back... is there any need for this?...
mansoor ali khan pataudi... lovingly called tiger was recently caught with seven others in Haryana with carcass of a black buck n hares... his son saif ali khan was also arrested a few years back for poaching... salman khan too was caught red handed for the same...
what is it with these super rich and famous people???.... why is there an inane need in them to kill?
i sometimes wonder what if they didnt have the guns on them?... what if they went hunting unarmed??... do they have the guts to do that??? ..... or is it just that they want to stroke their stupid super egos?... a need to show the world that they are all powerful?...
in her autobiography, princess, vijayraje scindia writes about how hunting was an 'exercise in vanity' for the royals. "it was vanity of the times that the man who shot the biggest tiger attained eminence that could not be matched by the recipient of a nobel prize... when my father-in-law madhavrao was studying, masterji set up a new school in the shooting preserve of sussera, so that from the windows of his classroom, madhavrao could select the black buck which he would shoot for dinner."
how much more despicable can man get??? ... but then this was long back... when hunting was considered a sport... now we are more educated (or are we?) ... we know how endangering it is to kill these animals... then why dont we understand???... it seems the more the world is progressing the more indifferent it is becoming...
noted german philosopher kant once said, "the enjoyment of power inevitably corrupts the judgment of reason, and perverts its liberty." ... how very apt....

u already know me, but u've ignored my silent ways!
Sometimes i feel the rules in the UAE, even though it may seem harsh, actually helps. if they were in the here, they're hands would be cut off! and these guys would deserve it!
~~the enjoyment of power inevitably corrupts the judgment of reason, and perverts its liberty~~
That's what it is...the 'power' thing. People want to feel more empowered when they super rich or famous...they want to take the Law into their hands...they think money and fame can buy anything - greed is the root. The greed to be powerful.
lol Pearly!
Sonia I think they should have similar laws instigated in other countries...really, that's what would stop them!
Keshi.
He is called TIGER right..so he needs to show his TIGERism by killing innocent animals.
But know wht? There is not need to take him under remand and file a case. He is anyway going to come out clean chit. What happend to Sallu-baba? Witnesses have disappeared after 7 years of commiting the crime. If the deer was alive, by now it wud have died under natural circumstances anyway.
ouch anonymous i heard ur silence ;))
acri i hope these people r convicted... (high hopes i know)...
sonia u r rite.. get the dxb rules here...
keshi sweetheart hope u had a lovely vacation... good to know u r bak.. missed u loads.. u r rite power n money...

My first time here. I didn't read all the posts, just a couple. But they are really interesting so I am looking forward to reading all of them.
About this one, I beleive its just ego that drives these men on. Its 'manly' to be able to kill (whatever that is). There is no regard for life. There is this 'thrill' that drives these people.
And hey, you are Jain, thats really interesting because you are the only Jain person I know who blogs (besides me of course :-P)
psycho, kroopa thanx for visiting... yup psycho... gods own way of punishing i guess...
kroopa... u'll find a lot of jainism in my posts.. m impressed by some of the teachings of my religion.. n yeah the biggest problem with men...EGO...ufff

hmm ya this is the first time I visited here. You do a great job musings. You made so many people, think abt these kinda cruel things happening around us. I will simply rate these people "SADIST"
hey rini thanx for visiting...n yup sadist is the word....
Ha humans !!!
they are an illfit in this perfect world.....they neither belong anywhere in the ecological chain nor well, I'll quote Agent Smith to Neo
"I'd like to share a revelation I had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You are a plague, and we are the cure."
oh phantom so well said...humans r a virus to this earth...i hope we never move to the moon or mars...we'll spoil that too...
