Once upon a time, the animals In the forest got tired of being killed randomly by the hunters every day. The incessant killings of the animals without their notice always put the forest in disarray. The animals decided to engage the hunters and have an agreement
After the meeting, the hunters and the animals agreed that the animals will provide the hunters with one animal every week and the hunters also agreed not to kill the animals at random. Both the hunters and the animals were happy because the hunters no longer have to toil for several hours and days without getting anything; the animals don't have to be in perpetual fear, they don't have to flee whenever they see the hunters since they pay their dues
The peace between the hunters and the bushmeats didn't last long enough because the hunters soon started killing bushmeats indiscriminately, failing their part of the bargain. The animals sent a delegate to the hunters to find out why they were still being killed even after keeping their part of the bargain. On sighting the elevate, the hunters shot the animal without even receiving the message.
The animals sent another message through another animal, but the hunters killed the animal again. The animals kept sending different animals to negotiate peace with the hunters but the hunters continued killing all the animals just for the fun of it. The animals couldn't I anything, after all, they're helpless against the hunters who always have the gun and other weapons at their disposal
The animals in this evil kingdom felt so sad because their fellow animals in other kingdoms cohabitate peacefully with the hunters, why is their own different?
They finally resorted to asking animals in another kingdom to persuade their hunters to come over and plead with the wicked hunters to quit the killings. The hunters agreed to talk to the wicke hunters but they refused and even intensified the killings. When other hunters condemned the evil, they killed their fellow hunters in rage and silence other hunters
The animals continued living in fear but they never stopped seeking solutions to their problem. The hunters continued alternating the animals until one day, the animals took a bold step. They said to themselves
"Since we have been hiding and living in fear, the hunters have never stopped killing us, we have exhausted all our strategies yet they wouldn't stop killing us, no matter what we do, they must kill us, so why don't we attack them and get killed rather than hiding and still get killed. If we succeed, we secure our land and the future of our children, but if we die, we die heroes for the sake of our land and our children"
After encouraging themselves, the animals went out to hunt down the unsuspecting hunters. To their chagrin, the only thing that makes the hunter seem so powerful is his gun. "They're not invincible after all," they said to themselves.
them no get sstrength, they come dey do gra-gra
The only option left for the hunters is to swallow their pride and engage the animals in a peaceful dialogue, if not, the kingdom is going to be torn apart. No one is smiling and two wrongs can never make a right
The animals decided to hunt down the hunters until they're dispossessed of all their arms, only then can there be a level playground. That is how the hunter became the hunted. The only thing making the animals vulnerable is fear, fear of the unknown. The moment they confronted their fears, everything became possible and easy for them
Coincidentally, this could also be the fate of one country in Africa. Violence is not always the answer, no man has a monopoly of violence. When you push a man to the wall, expect a boomerang!
