I love animals, and it’s nice to have someone post such a thoughtful article. It is apparent that you’re a narrowminded moron who cares less about the animal world that people like you destroy and feed upon.
Humans are the invaders of their world, humans destroyed the balance of the natural world, did you even know that? Shame on you.
Piao xi! What an ignoramus you are! Your feigning wisdom only reveals a person of low learning. :}
..and if there’s really any animal that I really abhor — it’s animals like you, those political butterflies, those capitalist pigs, and those corrupt crocodiles (buwaya) that plummet our nation to its ruins.

My oh my! What a prejudiced person you are, Thileeban badiday you!FOOLISH,NONSENCE,IDEOT,STUPID..that’s what you are, tell that to yourself. You can’t even spell ‘NONSENSE’ and ‘IDEOT’ correctly, how dare you correct others! :}
People like you who think that you’re superior by sheer force of connection, wealth, popularity, dominion or power — you’re nothing but cowardly slugs hiding behind the silvery armor of bureaucracy.
And now that I’ve nentioned it..a slug is an animal, so I think you should be more educated about animals. :]
Sorry, but your dimwitted comments prove what a mentally incapacitated person you are, who lacks the academic credentials of an open-minded person.
If you know how to dish out a nasty comment, you might as well be prepared for a double nasty comment. :}
I am an animal lover. It pays to be educated about the world and the things that humans benefit from. It pays to know our environment and the little creatures that somehow affect us.
…thank you for posting, Godspeedy! xoxoxox

Hi Animal lovers, What’s your opinion about the street dogs in India,especially in Bangalore? 3 children are killed and many are heavily injured by those lovely street dogs till now. Do you guys say, these animals are more important than human beings and their valuable life?

People… What are you arguing about? This is just a harmless blog that tells facts about animals… It doesn’t violate any human rights.
