Doctor Monkey

India TV News Desk [Updated 22 Dec 2014, 09:58:31]

On December 22nd at the Kanpur Central railway station, a monkey was electrocuted on high tension wires. As the monkey got knocked unconscious from the shock, a friend monkey quickly ran to his fallen buddy. Around 20 minutes, the friend monkey tried everything he could to bring back his friend. He bit him in the face, slapped him, and dipped his friend into a puddle of water. Then the unconscious monkey finally regained consciousness in the water and onlookers cheered.

My Thoughts...

From watching Doctor Monkey clip, I realized great intelligence and companionship of animals. Monkeys’ desperateness of trying to save electrified friend had shown a much better heart caring about their colleague than humans. 

Humans would not be able to show such effort as monkeys. In times of danger, we tend to care ourselves before others or put off dangerous work to others, but these monkeys did not spare themselves to rescue their friend. We should repent our egoistic mind. 

Humans have said we are much more advanced species and abuse animals and kill them for individual’s benefit. We have been treating them as if they got no emotion and thoughts. However, the animals we ignored showed heroic figure. 

People at the train station did not bother call for help or volunteer to help the poor monkeys. What they did was pressing camera shutters. We claim to be more advanced and we can’t afford some mercy to save “benighted” animals? How absurd? After watching this I want to ask people, “Can we really call ourselves the greatest species to ever exist?”
