There was a time when we all lived in harmony with animals. No one harmed the other species and both the humans and animals lived together as equals.
It was just a normal day when one man had an idea!
He wanted to grind sorghum to make a special powder. He was researching this new powder to make new kinds of yummy food. The man tried it out, and guess what? It worked! The new food was delicious, and everyone loved it.
Excited by his success, the man started a food business that quickly became very popular in the village. But grinding sorghum by hand was becoming very tiring.
So, he invented a machine to help him make the job easier. However, the machine still needed workers to operate it. He tried using humans, but they got tired very quickly.
Then, the man had another idea: he decided to use donkeys and bulls to help with the work.
The animals were strong and made the job go much faster. But the man didn’t think about their well-being at all. He was only focused on keeping up with his growing business and this made him make the animals work all day and night, without any breaks.
Soon, other people saw how much faster the animals worked and began using them for everything.
They worked the animals so hard that they forgot about the animals’ needs. Over time, they even used the animals to get milk and wool, which people had never taken before.
Over time, people began to believe they were better than the animals and didn’t treat them kindly anymore.
Some animals, like lions and cheetahs, didn’t like this new way of treating them and resisted.
It is said that the animals are planning to take over the world and one day they will show their wrath.
