The Tigress And The Pregnant Dog A Play Poem by Rohan Bendre

(Stage Opens) .
Tigress said to herself.
' It's a Sunny Afternoon. I am Famished. Where have all the animals vanished.

(Tigress hears whining sound of a pregnant Dog) .

Tigress said to Dog.
' The Prey is Visible in my sight.
and i Effortlessly bet
You can't handle my Might. '
Pregnant Dog said.
' What a Miserable life full of Tortures do i live? .
By having my flesh at least to someone a Moment of happiness won't i give. '
Tigress was surprised.
' My Presence scares many
How come my presence doesn't give you pain and agony. '
Pregnant Dog said.
' Did i heard pain and agony.
It has became a habit as for some ridiculous reasons I am being tortured by many. '
Tigress Pauses.
' Not only you but also me have Endured the same torture.
Why are people so tardy to come in the picture. '
Pregnant Dog said.
' What horrors are endured by you.
Can you give me some clue. '
Tigress said.
' While i am searching for a prey
The Apprehension of poachers and Glue traps often Bother.
To see myself in Circus, Tiger safari and zoos
Several will be there.
But to save me noone will gather.'
Tigress continued.
' while my friend was straying in a Tiger Reserve.
Little did she know a heinous incident was about to happen.
As she was shot under the excuse of security. '
Dog said.
' And Justice will be served
When an Investigation will be demanded by the majority. '
Tigress said.
' While I was discussing my plight.
Pardon me for ignoring yours.
On the tortures faced by you please throw some light. '
Pregnant Dog said.
' For Sheer pleasure My Freind was murdered by a group of students.
Is Justice hiding? .
Because the punishment given to them is not satisfying. '
Tigress said.
' A Lot of Measures can be taken by the common man.
When to save animals people will gather in no time
Then the Guilty will get the deserved punishment for the crime. '
Pregnant Dog added.
' Even top Government officials support such Torture.
Security is a fake reason As pleasure, power and money is the Answer to the Question. '
Tigress said.
' Strict Action should be initiated.
When in our place they will be substituted
Then the pain will be resonated. '
Tigress Continued.
' Murdering Animals is no solution
Your support to the crime is equivalent to the murderer's Definition. '
Both said.
' The Clock of Justice is ticking constantly.
Strengthening the laws to protect animals has to be done quickly
For torturing poor creatures let equivalent pain endured by us be implemented on the
Offenders
Let them pay the price in terms of pain Exorbitantly. '
TAKE A CRITICAL STAND AGAINST THE PERSON WHO SHOT A TIGRESS BY HIS SERVICE GUN INSTEAD OF TRANQUILIZING. DEMAND AN INTERROGATION FOR THE SAME. AND STRENGTHEN THE PUNISHMENT OF THE PEOPLE WHO HARM STRAYS.
