TOP 6 TERROR ORGANIZATIONS IN THE WORLD

Image
 HAMAS Hamas is a militant movement and one of the Palestinian territories’ two major political parties. It governs more than two million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, but the group is best known for its armed resistance to Israel. Dozens of countries have designated Hamas a terrorist organization, though some apply this label only to its military wing. Iran provides it with material and financial support, and Turkey reportedly harbors some of its top leaders.

  FEEDING STRAY DOGS AND CATS “Sharing is caring”. This old famous saying has been such an integral part of our lives. As children, experiencing the excitement of opening your lunchbox to share with fellow classmates, was a big part of our school days. And as adults, organizing a potluck is a great way to socialize. Extending this hand of care to those in need is an act of compassion – one that is an innate human tendency. However, very often we don’t extend this compassion to our furry friends, dogs unless they’re domesticated pets. Strays are left to scavenge for anything they can get their paws on; it’s a struggle for survival and they often resort to subsisting on scraps, fighting each other for a share. While they may have a strong resistance to diseases, there are still high chances of strays being injured or being emaciated as only the fittest survive and manage to feed themselves.  When we as dog and cat lovers come together and extend a feeding hand to our furr...
