The hard-hitting image was shared with the caption ¡®Kaypo Che?¡¯ and it showcased the plight of birds. The photographer asks a very pertinent question in the post - is it suicide or murder?

While flying kites is a happy pastime for so many of us, it spells doom for the birds whose world essentially gets tied up in deadly threads. Every year hundreds of birds are butchered by kite strings which boast of being sharper and unbreakable. So, while you may not lose the kite fight, a bird will lose its life.

Celebration for Mankind cannot be sorrow for other living beings. All celebration should be celebration of life.

Why shouldn't we employ some other means to celebrate this day. Something that could be not a harm for these creatures. I know it will take time to be implemented but using law it could be enforced at the initial stages. It is must, as it's high time now.

Earlier it was used to be cotton threads. Which would decompose in about a few days. These days they are nylon threads. Which is dangerous and similar to plastic threats. Non bio degradable. There must be a ban on these kind of materials. It's even dangerous for humans.

it's so heart-rending--the cutting-edge razor-sharp maanja needs to be reviewed on priority and a practical replacement solution needs to be worked out

Kite-flying is associated with various festivals around the year. There is no harm in having fun and celebrating a festival, but the questions we need to ask ourselves are:

Is it worth killing hundreds of birds?

Is this the only way that this festival can be celebrated?

Is it possible to find a middle ground that won't hurt these speechless creatures?
