"Innocent" cruelty

From a distance I saw a group of primary school kids hitting a part of shrubs with sticks and one kid splashing water from his water bottle.

As I neared the spot, I found that the kids were "victimising" ants on the leaves.

I asked the kids if the ants have harmed anyone of them.

They kept quiet.

I told them to leave the ants alone.

Educating kids is not just about academic achievement but also to be a kinder wholesome human being with respect for all lives.
