Have you ever killed an animal?
Everyone of us must have done so. I mean I am sure we kill Mosquitos, Flies, Wasps, Cockroaches, All those creepy little insects and the like. But yeah, you are right, these are not animals, these are insects. I have done countless killings like this. I may well be a Terminator if all this counts.
But well, I am not talking about this type of killing. I am talking about killing a real animal who has four legs, a tail, a head, a body and all the other pre-requisites.
I killed a dog this Friday night when I was going to Rawalpindi from Lahore via G.T. Road. It came in front of my car suddenly and I did not have enough time to stop or change direction. So, I hit him bang straight. The poor animal rolled at least 10-12 times in front of me and eventually fell into a road-side ditch. Car got hurt a little and I had to spend some money to get it fixed but the bad thing about this was that I had just took a life and if you are a normal human being, this is never a good memory to have. I was sort of speechless for some time. It felt weird and strange. I was feeling a little bit guilty thinking that probably my feet would have reacted a bit differently on the brakes had it been (Khuda na Khawasta) a human and this guilt is still occupying me a little bit.
Believe me, It’s not fun.
