| "For
one slaughter-house in Hong Kong on the day was quite ordinary,
till one bison who was about to be slaughtered fell on his
knees and started to cry!
"People
think that animals don't cry, but this animal was crying like
a baby" - said Bill Fong to reporters in Hong Kong. There
were standing around ten men who earn their livelihood by
slaughtering the animals. And from their eyes, tears started
to flow. People were touched so much, that they bought the
bison. Then they gave the bison to one Buddhist temple, that
he can live the rest of his life in peace." This tragedy-story
about crying bison, began when workers were bringing this
big animal toward the slaughterhouse. When they were approaching
the slaughterhouse, suddenly the animal fell down on the ground
on his front legs.
Then, his tears started to flow. "When I saw the animal, how
it is crying with sadness and fear in his eyes, I started
to shake," told the Butcher. "I called others to come and
they also became astonished like me. We started to pull and
push the animal, but he didn't want to move at all. He was
sitting on the ground and was crying. The hair on my skin
stood on end, because the animal reacted like a human being.
We looked at each other, and we knew that none of us would
be able to kill him and we should decide what to do with him."
Finally
after much discussion, they decided to collect money and send
the animal on a lifelong rest, with Buddhist priests, who
don't have anything against bisons. "We couldn't move the
animal, till we promised him that he will not die. Then he
stood up and he came with us. You can believe it or not, but
this is the truth, although it sounds strange. It seemed that
this big animal understood every word that we spoke," said
Mr. Tat Nin.
For
some workers in the slaugherhouse, this incident was too much.
Mr. Fong says, "Three workers immediately after this scene,
gave denial. They said they will never kill animals anymore,
because they will always remember this bison, and how his
tears flowed down his face from his big sad eyes. |
