The glamour quotient needs to be replaced by the emotion and moral quotient. Bollywood stars have literally gotten away with murder and are never held accountable for their actions. Here's what transpired in the infamous Salman Khan Blackbuck case.
ANIMAL HATER SALMAN KHAN’S HUNT

A short distance out into the wild the group spotted a chinkara. Salman Khan took a rifle from the bag, aimed and fired. The wounded animal ran; Khan leaped from the car and chased it on foot and shot it again. When it collapsed, someone took a knife and cut the deer’s throat. Soon afterwards two more chinkara were spotted. Khan shot again, wounded one of them, then jumped out and slit its throat while the deer struggled and cried and finally died.
They took the two carcasses back to Jodhpur, where staff at a hotel were roused from their beds and obliged to clean and cook them for the party.If any of the villagers in the area of the hunt heard anything that night, they kept quiet about it. The party, again led by Khan, went out hunting again and again: on the 27th, the 28th, the 30th. No-one breathed a word. These, after all, are the kings of Bollywood, India’s new maharajas, and they do as they please.
By day Khan strolled around the Umeda Bhawan Palace topless, baring his glorious torso; management implored him to cover up but he ignored them. By night he and his friends hunted. Who could deny them? Who would have the courage to stop them?
On the night of Thursday 1 October, though, they became reckless: they strayed on to the Bishnois’ land. On this night, Salman Khan again took the wheel, and when they were 20km from Jodhpur they veered off the road into the country of the Bishnoi.
Five kilometres into the wild they spotted a group of blackbuck, beautiful dark brown antelopes with white underbellies. Khan braked, grabbed the rifle, took aim and shot the deer in the leg. But before he could dispatch the animal with his knife, local Bishnoi farmers, roused by the noise, were out of their houses to find out what was going on. The jeep drove off at speed, but when they came across another group of blackbuck, Khan could not resist having another go.
This time an animal was hit in the neck. By now the Bishnoi were giving chase on motorcycles – seven on three machines – and though one bike was knocked over by the jeep, the farmers were able to record the number on the plates.
Despite the confrontation, the actors seemed to keep faith in their status, that celebrity would ensure they were left alone. Even so, on October 12 Salman was arrested and charged with killing three chinkaras.
Killing the blackbuck and chinkara, both Schedule 1 animals on the endangered list is a violation of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972,Add the cooking of the meat of endangered species, which invites punishment up to seven years.
His charity, his good deeds to the community and his big heart cannot be used to defend his criminal offences. That’s really inappropriate. You cannot defend a criminal by saying that he does good things and is a good man. Justice has to be served for what he did.
Being human? Or being carnivore in a human body?
LIFE OF ALL VOICELESS IS PRECIOUS
NEVER LET ANY CRIMINAL RUN AWAY
