Stray Dogs?

11.20pm edit

I dont know why but this video is causing a lot of racist arguments instead of the point. seriously ppl??

hey,

i get it. maybe the dog was harmful maybe it wasn’t and i know it’s for the safety of the neighbourhood but what i don’t get is how they couldn’t have dealt with it in a better way =/

perhaps a little more educations on handling the matter like tranquilizing the poor fella and handing it to more experienced ppl to put it down or to send it to a shelter to see the dog’s temperament to try and give it another chance instead.

WHY is the video instead causing ppl to argue against one another about being of a different race or a hypocrite or things like that.

sigh.

and i cant help but wonder. if that dog was a damn poodle, would this video be getting more united awareness instead..

miehh

*~*~*~*~*~*

At some point, I’ve pretty much given up on the whole animal cruelty stint.

A big part of me has died so many times that i no longer have much reaction anymore in compared to how i used to react despite that pounding agitation and the usual sting of tears.

But… this being done legally in Malaysia despite all the hoohaa that was created over the whole poodle and cat issue and all the press media, i can’t help but want to blog about this and ask why isn’t anything being done about situations like this?

Hey i get it that some stray dogs really need to be dealt with but isn’t doing it this way a little too much?

What really broke my heart was what the person who took this video said in his description,

“my 3 years old daughter asked me, what are they doing? what am i to answer her??”

Yeah, what do you answer her?

Actually,

What do you answer anyone who even understands the meaning of humanity?

Whats the Difference?

there has been a sudden spree of animal abuse news and videos being sent around as well as videos of how compassionate some animals really are. and we talk about how a human being’s family and friends would feel when someone close to them is murdered, abused or something as futile as being robbed. so what about animals? just because we see a stray on the streets does it mean he’s alone with nobody to care for?

what if she was a mother with her litter to feed and fend for? what if it was a companion of another rather lonely stray? it’s okay if they get hit and abused and ignored isn’t it? because face it, who’s there to care after that? there is a little society in every form of being, be it a human a dog or even something as small as as an ant. a cycle that goes on continuously, a structural heirachy and a special little community. yet just because we don’t see that in what we claim are lower beings we kill mercilessly without a hint of conscience.  

a death is a death no matter where. and a murder is still commited even if it isnt towards another human being. if we are capable of doing such horrid things to the less fortunate creatures, what is stopping us really from killing another? are we not all the same, flesh blood and bones.  it really does break my heart hearing and seeing these sins continuously committed all over the world, day in day out as if it was nothing but a small little issue; totally and completely unimportant to our so called intellectual and evolved society. U_U

i dont expect anything from writing this but i just felt like i really needed to get it off my chest. i never really got why it was okay to kill an animal but not okay to kill a human being. call me sick but really, tell me what the real difference is besides the fact that we look different?

Dog Killings in China

A massive cull in the Chinese city of Hanzhong has claimed the lives of more than 30,000 dogs.

The local government ordered the mass slaughter of all dogs as the result of a few cases of rabies deaths. Dog killing squads are stalking the streets, mercilessly beating dogs to death with sticks and rocks.

Friendly dogs – even healthy family pets – are being slaughtered right in front of their owners. Can you even begin to imagine how you’d feel if that happened to your dog?

sorry i dont have the mood to post the pictures up but here are some descriptions.

Some of the pictures from culls like these are so horrifying that I can’t even show them to you. And I hate having to describe this, but I think you need to know the truth about what’s happening.

In one series of pictures, several small and fluffy white dogs – you can just tell they’re used to snuggling on the laps of their loving owners – are trapped in a makeshift cage. One by one, the dogs are pulled out with a pair of long metal tongs, and brutally beaten with a stick. And then – even though it appears that some of the dogs may still be alive – they’re tossed into a pit to be burned.

Please click here to contact the Chinese Ambassador in your country to call for an end to mass slaughters like this and to encourage China to pass legislation that protects all animals, including companion animals.

“The greatness of a nation and it’s moral progress can be judged by the way it’s animals are treated”

*~*~*~*~*~*~*
over the past week a group of really hot swedish guys came down to malaysia to skate. i must say hot or else i would probably lose your attention by now. pfft. anyway they asked me a very interesting question.
“hey, how come we dont see any stray dogs in KL. It’s so weird.”

after explaining the situation they gave me a disgusted face and said MALAYSIANS are sick when I a Malaysian was sitting right there playing host to them. They didnt mean us of course but you know when something happens we have a tendency to generalise stuff so yeah good job. Because as much as i am proud to be Malaysian this is one reason i’m not.

this video below pretty much explains it

watch till the end. the ending’s really sweet and if you notice, instead of doing something people just video the incident. pfft. shows what kind of “heroes” we really are.

another story i got from reading Sam’s blog.

From NST:

All because of a curious puppy

KUALA LUMPUR: First, they strangled a four-month-old puppy to death, then they threatened its owner. A puppy named Maya, belonging to Indonesian national Sri Indria, was killed on Friday after it entered a neighbour’s house in Kampung Padang Lalang, Langkawi.

The incident took a dramatic twist when the neighbour’s son, who had killed the pet, came to Sri’s house on Saturday armed with a metal pipe and spoiling for a fight.

Sri called the New Straits Times to say she had returned from the pasar malam at 7pm on Friday to find Maya missing.

“I was only away for about an hour. I knew something was terribly wrong when I didn’t see her,” she said in the telephone interview.

After a futile search around the kampung, her neighbour, who lives about 50m from her house, told Sri very angrily that her puppy had entered her house.

When Sri asked for Maya, her neighbour brazenly told her “we have killed it”.

Sri turned back to enlist her sister’s help before returning to the neighbour’s house to look for Maya’s carcass.

They found the dead puppy in the undergrowth with a wire noose around its neck.

“They watched my sister and I look for my puppy. They were still scolding me as we carried the carcass home.”

Sri, whose Malaysian husband runs a travel agency, did not lodge a police report initially as she took partial responsibility for the puppy’s disappearance.

She was forced to lodge a report after the neighbour’s son threatened her the next day.

A distressed Sri rang the NST to say that he had come to her house armed with a metal pipe, shouting for her and her husband. He was angry that the incident had reached the ears of the media.

“I’m so scared. I’m home alone and I’m pregnant,” she cried.

A friend later took her to the police station to lodge a report and there Sri and her neighbour settled matters.

“I’ve made peace with them. What they did was wrong but I understand why they did it. It’s the culture and religious beliefs.”

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

culture and religious beliefs. interesting. i’m at a loss for words to say. i hope their “gods” treat them happily in their so called heaven for their great deeds of “murder”.

you know if you kill an animal it doesnt amount to murder, nope not at all. how ironic, another’s life doesnt count if it’s an animal. ho hum. such bullshit astounds me.
