A woman added, “Humanity at its best…kudos to this kind policeman.” “Kindness should be the only ornament of human kind. Its great that some of us do have that and that’s why the world still has a bit of goodness left,” another man wrote.
A man shared a personal story and commented, “Once I saw a pigeon hanging dead stuck to a kite thread. and not only that, I’ve witnessed 3 pigeons die in the span of 6 months stuck in the same thread. The thread was entangled in a huge almond tree close to where I live. I informed the owners to remove the thread but they couldn’t do anything.”
He suggested, “Imagine how many birds get trapped to death for our entertainment. Since then I dislike watching kites fly because I would love to see the birds fly, not the kites.”
