Human values

Sometimes I wonder at who is human and who is animal. Just read about the injured deer that walked up to the emergency room of strong memorial hospital in the USA only to be carried out on a stretcher and killed. Nobody thought of sending him to a vet. He came because he needed help and was instead killed by the very persons who have sworn to help.
Earlier in the morning, I read about baby Umarali who was taken away from his mother Zarina by the police and sent to a hospital in Russia on October 13th and the next day the mother got a call that he's dead and she should collect the body. The fact that how can anyone separate a 5 month old baby from his mother is horrifying. The authorities snatching away the babies of refugees and not letting the mothers be with them and ultimately leading to the death of the infant are acts of gross violation of human rights.
Everyday there is news of human rights violations from one or the other part of the world. There is a gradual degradation of human values. A society devoid of humanity cannot sustain itself. It's time that the human race checks it's conscience.
