Tribute to the Animal lover

Just a couple of days ago heartbreaking news shattered any animal lover’s world apart. One of the greatest wild life enthusiasts and animal lovers ‘Steve Irvin’ passed away after getting stung by a stingray barb in the heart. He was studying their group behaviour, where probably he came too close to one of them, which retaliated with the thorns in his tail, one of the most poisonous natural weapon in the world. This incident suggests one thing that even after studying animal behaviour for decades, human being cannot fathom the animal behavioural patterns. They say that no animal would hurt you unless and until you harm it.

So how would you explain this phenomenon? Steve has been studying the animal behaviour for almost his entire life. He has been wandering in jungles and deserts in company of few of the most dangerous and poisonous reptiles in the world. Many a times he had been stung by them, too. Probably he had some questionable methods by which he used to handle them. But his intentions were always good and never in his life he would have intended to hurt any of them. In this background he had a really undeserving end to his life, especially by one of the animals for whom he devoted his entire life. Only satisfactory outcome of the grim story is that he left this world while doing the thing that he loved the most, spending time with the animals! But this cast a big question in youngsters mind, who wish to follow Steve’s footsteps. What makes animals sure of your intentions? How far should one go to save animal’s life and when should one care about one’s own? But alas, the best person who could have answered this question is no more with us. May god bless his soul with peace.
