A necessary massacre

A Necessary Massacre

Scientists and people have always debated on killing of animals for humanity's sake. At a point, even i thought that killing them is bad. But, this is something we cannot expect to happen. At the rate the world is increasing it's population, developing it's technology and growing larger, there is more need for space, resources etc. So, one cannot expect to live peacefully, side-by-side with animals. 

This was a simple question asked by my friend in a debate. He asked, "If there was a toxic bacteria living close to you, which would harm you, would you not eradicate it?". I thought it was a legit question. I thought and thought whether there was another way. None found. Later, in a similar scenario, my brother said," Ask everyone who supports such things, to stop using modern medicine." True. One cannot expect everything at the cost of nothing.

And today was the day, the question was answered. Summer, it is. Pests are widespread and cockroaches became a menace. I got vexed by these tiny marvellous creatures. So did my family. So we brought in the executioner. We brought "Hit", the aerosol spray. And as each drop of aerosol touched the roaches, they fell to the ground like armies of dwarves in the battle of Moria. Or, like those native armies in "Avatar". Anyway, sad, though, was the sight, it was something necessary for my family, belonging to a race of humans, to live peacefully. The sight looked like a massacre. It was a massacre. A cockroach massacre...

This is but a taste of it.
