NCERT Book Class 9 EVS Bond of love between humans and animals

14. Bond of love between humans and animals 

(i) To appreciate the bond of love between man and animals.

(ii) To become aware of animal rights and the need to protect them.

Background

It is not strange to notice people and animals living together and displaying their love and affection. We also see that people are very fond of their pets and love to spend time with them. One might have heard or read many stories of animal-human love and relationships which are very interesting and, sometimes, fascinating. Animals and humans are equal occupants of this planet. Many animals need our care or protection. But some people are indifferent to the pain and misery of animals around them and are sometimes even cruel to them. There are also organisations which are working for animal rights, prevention of cruelty to animals, etc.

Methodology

1. Collect anecdotes or stories about human-animal friendship from friends, elders, other animal lovers in the locality, books or magazines.

2. Also collect information, episodes or experiences in which cruelty towards animals led to harmful consequences for humans or animals.

3. Find out about animal rights and also find out the activities of organisations working for animal rights.

Conclusion

Write a report on animal-human relationships and conclude how animal-human friendship enriches animal rights and prevents cruelty on animals.

Follow-up
