We have no right to take anyone's life, specially not for fun. When a small thing happens to us, we start cursing the year or god etc. But, deep down, we know that all of the problems we are facing, is nature's way of telling us that now we have exploited it too much. #Elephant pic.twitter.com/Q2uJAjp7Ya
