Born Free

"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated." - Mahatma Gandhi

Freedom is our most prized possession which we have earned after numerous sacrifices from brave men and women whose courage has no limits.

Many eminent freedom fighters like Mahatma Gandhi have always included animals in their commitment of attaining freedom using nonviolence.

Considering this, in today's blog post I am highlighting the five internationally accepted aspects of freedom which are recognised by Britain's Farm Animal Welfare Council.

  • Freedom from hunger and thirst by ensuring that animals have ready access to fresh water and food in order to maintain health and vigour.
  • Freedom from discomfort by protecting their appropriate habitat which shelters them.
  • Freedom from pain, injury or disease by providing the right medical treatment when in distress.
  • Freedom to express normal behaviour instead of taming them for human selfishness.
  • Freedom from fear and distress by not encroaching into their habitats and interfering in their life cycle.

Humans are gifted with supreme level of intelligence on this planet which should be rightly used to uphold the liberty of all less privileged living beings around. On the eve of Independence Day let us all be aware of this discrete additional duty with us and strive doing our best in this direction.

Wishing you all a very Happy Independence Day!!

 A tryst with nature. #bornfree

  1. While we always end up thinking freedom relatively to human progress and safety, this post makes us question our own actions and limitations. Thank you for this post.
