Avengers- The Corona-Warriors Version

Avengers are a group of Super-Heroes that save the Earth from any and all forms of dangers, similarly, at the moment the Corona-Warriors are a team of Guardians that are protecting the Earth from the pandemic-COVID-19.

When the world was infested with "he who shall not be named", Humanity came together to assemble the mightiest and bravest of its champions together to fight the calamity- They were hence, to be known as The Corona-Warriors. They chiefly comprised of the Medical Staff (Doctors, Nurses), The Sanitation Workers, The Police and The Essential Service Providers.

Meanwhile, the Dark Lord too was enlarging his army (The Dark Forces). While the army comprised chiefly of loyalists, His army swelled with new entrants. Whenever, The Dark Lord or any of the members of the Dark Forces touched a person who was not in their army they were able to cast a spell and the person deviated and now, owed his allegiance to the Dark Lord. He too became a carrier and became a conscript soldier of the army.

Each Corona-Warrior or CW, as they liked to be called, had different responsibilities. While, the Medical Staff had to bring back the people who had deviated into their own group, The Sanitation Workers ensured that no new people joined the Dark Forces by washing the areas with the Serum that could curtail the Dark Forces for a while. The Police were given the power of Sticks, these sticks scared the people from deviating to the other side, as, these sticks were rock solid and once they were used by the Police on the bodies of deviants they were bound to be sore (in both ways). The Essential Service Providers had the task to maintain Social Distancing and for this they were to provide all items needed by the masses on their doorsteps and guarantee that the people did not aimlessly loiter in the streets and fall a prey to the Dark Forces. Thus the CW ensured to protect the planet and it's people from The Dark Lord. 

However, The Dark Lord was also very powerful, as no known weapon had been able to incur any major loss on him or his followers. The only way to defeat him was to not cross paths with him. Although, all had not lost hope and some Labbies (people who wore white coats and tried to invent new things- previously known as scientists) were trying to make a concoction to ward off the Dark Lord.

A glimpse of hope can be seen with the fact that the CW's have been able to defeat the Dark Lord from Aotearoa. If all goes well they might be able to defeat them fully and banish them from Earth.

With Hopes held high.

Is Humanity Dead? An Animal cruelty issue.

According to Charles Darwin: Humans have evolved from Primates. Their were certain mutations which led to Humans evolving as the fittest living organism amongst all present at that time. But, are Humans worthy to be called the fittest and most sane beings to reside the Planet Earth? Well, the recent events, makes one think otherwise. 
Animal cruelty- an activity in which barbaric behaviour is done towards non-humans. It has several forms ranging from violence being meted out on animals to Wildlife Smuggling.

My recent post, shall talk about all forms of animal cruelty and also feature certain heart-breaking incidents from across the world. My aim is to raise awareness and bring people from all walks of life together to pressurise authorities to make stringent laws to curtail this inhumane behaviour.

While, we were all busy in our lives, a heart-rendering news came from Kerala, India. A hungry pregnant elephant was given explosives hidden in a fruit. This resulted in the death of the animal. Police and Wildlife authorities are said to be investigating the issue and are trying to bring the culprits to book.

Another incident that shook us all, came from Idaho, United States, where a women was seen incessantly boxing her pet dog. The person filming the video seemed to be enjoying the act and made no efforts to stop the women. This video brought about an outrage and the women was identified and hopefully punished. 

Its not just pets or tamed animals that are facing cruelty, even wildlife animals have to face the inhumane activities of Humans. Wildlife Smuggling being one of the greatest form of brutality. #Animals are smuggled for decorative purposes like-
Tiger for his skin,
Tortoise for their shells,
Leopard heads and Tiger heads as Trophy for bravery and hunting.
#Then, animals are smuggled for their medicinal value-
Tiger meat is used in traditional medicines,
Elephant skin is beneficial for stomach ailments,
Pangolin scales are used in certain medicines similarly like Rhinoceros horns,
the bile from the gall bladders of Bears are also of medicinal value.
#Then Animals are smuggled as their remains are a source of snob appeal-
Elephant tusks and teeth of tigers are used as a symbol of richness and this adds to the poaching of wildlife.

While there are several institutions that are present to preserve the rights of animals and provide them protection like PETA and WWF, we cannot disregard our fundamental duty as humans to protect this planet and its inhabitants. We should all realise the fact that humans alone cannot reside on this planet and that we need to be more proactive in our approach towards both Wildlife conservation and animal cruelty in any and every form.

PS- if you have any ideas on how this can be achieved please feel free to share in the comment section below.
