Do you have any pets?
I do have one smart, lovely dog. I think pet dogs are very popular among
people because it is believed that dogs are the best loyalty friends.
The BBC News Europe
article “Mystery dog deaths anger Russians”
reports that there are a plenty of dogs have been mortally poisoned by
unknown hunters in Russia recently.
The article reminds me
of Wellington, a dead puddle dog in the book that we read, The curious
incident. They have something in common. First, they are mysterious
killed. Also, the causes of death are investigated by ordinary people not by
state officers. However, they are different in some respects. First of all,
Wellington is killed with the fork. While, the dogs in Russia are poisoned.
Second, the former's death is investigated by the neighbor, Christopher Boone.
Whereas the latter's death are done by their owners.
According to the
article, there are two unproved viewpoints why the dogs are killed. First, it
might be a hobby for dog hunters. Second, it might be a method to control a
large number of dog population by the government. I personally think that the
dogs should not be killed no matter what reason behind it is. As living
creatures, they have rights to lead their lives as long as they do not violate
the laws and harm others. We cannot judge who are supposed to be dead and give
them deaths. Even though there are some people argue that the animals are
frequently dangerous to humans. We should find other effective ways to deal
with this problem rather than giving them deaths.
It also reminds me of
stray dogs that used to be possessed, but for some reasons they are abandoned.
For example, they are injured and their owners do not want to pay for their medical treatments. Their owners have some financial difficulties; therefore, the
owners cannot afford the food and other stuff could be another reason. Also,
the owners are just bored of them because they treat the dogs as fashionable
furniture.
My little lovely puppy
also pops up to my mind. He was died because of overdosed drugs. I remember
that he was very sick, so I took him to the hospital and then he was injected
medicine into his vein for four times. I hoped that he would be gradually
become better; however, unexpectedly the day after he passed away. This was one
of my mournful days.

Don't be sad. It is said that when people have done something, they always have their reasons no matter it is moral or not.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry in Russia because in Thailand,some people eat dog meat or sell dogs for slaughters. Many dogs are stolen from their beloved owners as we heard from the news that the police arrested people catching dogs and many dogs in small cages.
