During his Palm Sunday sermon last week at Holy Cross Major Archepiscopal Church in Nadavayal, Kozhikode, Major Archbishop Mar Raphael Thattil, the head of the Syro-Malabar Church, voiced concerns about the escalating human-animal conflict in Kerala.
“In light of certain policies, there are misconceptions in people’s minds that wild animals are given more importance than humans,” he stated. This perception, he emphasised, could lead to a pertinent question – whether the value of human beings is diminishing.
The statement, delivered against the backdrop of the upcoming Parliamentary elections, garnered significant public attention.
