Paragraph on Cruelty
[Notes: Difficulty to define it Bloodshed not always cruelty- example: a surgeon on a patient; buicher kills animals to feed us; out jawans kill enemies; murders are hanged; Researchers kill animals by the thousand everyday in finding remedies for human ailments. None of these is considered to be a cruel act. Hence the need for a definition.]
Paragraph on Cruelty : It is difficult to define cruelty. Many take the shedding of blood to be cruelty. But bloodshed is not always cruelty. While operating on a patient a surgeon has to act cruelly. He cuts off a limp of the patient and in the process causes profuse bleeding. A butcher kills animals, skins them and sends them to meat-dealers in the market. Our jawans, while defending our territory kill the enemies right and left. The condemned murderers are hanged by the executioner. The researchers vivisect animals like guinea pigs, rats, rabbits, etc. By the thousand in their laboratories to find out remedies for human ailments. None of the surgeon, butcher, jawans, hangman, researchers are cruel, although they shed blood.
Cruelty does not lie in the act, but in the delight one takes in bloodshed. A surgeon sheds blood not for delight, but to save the patient's life. His bloodshed is not an act of cruelty but of benevolence.
The butcher kills animals not for delight, but for feeding us with meat. The jawans are only doing their sacred duty to the nation by mercilessly killing enemies. If they do not shed blood, the enemy will conquer our county. The researchers vivisect animals not for the sake of pleasure, but for that of human good. So, when an act of bloodshed is prompted by the motive of delight, it becomes cruelty. On the other hand, hunting a fox for mere sport or confining a parrot in a cage or spurring a tired house to make it move fast is an act of cruelty.
