A Rat that died and changed our lives

It was a gloomy Saturday evening, which Ashwin and I were enjoying by hanging out at one of our favorite spots that has access to a lot of pet animals (because of the presence of a Veterinary Clinic nearby). We adored and pampered many pets as and when they entered the clinic. Meanwhile, Ashwin spotted a helpless rat trying to cross the road which was hampered by fast moving vehicles. Our attempt to save it, was paused for half a minute and this negligence let the rat run over by a car.

The guilt that hit us was not just the killing of this rat that we could have easily stopped, but also the fact of our failure in saving two other animals previously (a dog and a snake from a snake charmer). Hence, we have initiated YFA (Youth For Animals) in order to create awareness of the importance of lives and saving them would not require a degree in rocket science.

Go ahead people! Make a difference. Be human and save lives.
