Question
What is the general attitude of human beings towards wild animals?
Solution
Generally, people fear the wild animals because of their ferociousness and tendency to harm humans. But some people exploit them by caging or hunting them for the sadistic pleasure they derive from their ‘feats’, or kill them to earn money from their hides etc. Yet, there are people who understand the importance of sustaining ecological balance, preserving the beauty of nature and believe in every creature’s right to its existence. They spread awareness about the importance of wild-life and the necessity of saving them from extinction.
