I am not a pet lover before; I actually
didn’t mind a thing about animals. I am more concerned of issues pertaining
humanity. I also considered those activists who fights for animals welfare such
an exaggerated proceedings, I even said “Why are they so concerned about these
species while there are a lot issues about human rights to consider?” but I think,
I swallowed what I just said.
My sister bought a dog; I was
totally against it at first… I don’t want our house be messed with dog’s stool
or its pee but she still bought it and I just woke up one morning with a dog
cage (with a shih tzu dog inside) in my room. I turned off the air-con, the dog
might get cold. And she’s barking at me, I tried to stop her and she just did…
she just look at me and suddenly, I don’t know what push me to play with her,
and because of that I got late from class that day as I am so fond with her
that morning and since then, I finally have the reason why I should get home
earlier.
When she gave birth to her children,
I stopped my sister from selling them… one of them died, the three remained
with us while the other one was sold to my sister’s friend… actually, there are
a lot of buyers whom I know personally who wanted to buy my puppies but I said
no upon assessing on how they treat their other pets. I saw that they’re just
putting them inside a cage outside their house, and I want a pet owner who will
treat and love my puppies like I did. I found these traits to a lucky buyer so I
said yes, though it’s really hard letting go one of my puppies whom I just treated
like my own child.
I love my pets so much, and I never
sold anyone of them after that one, as I felt the extreme sadness of letting
them go; wondering everyday if they’re treated right or if they received their
meals on time… I actually called them as my own children and I’m so proud of it
and from them on, I became an animal lover… I also get fascinated with other’s dogs
or other pets too maybe because I was exposed with the love I gave to my kids.
That is why I am so shocked with
the video I just saw on how other people treated animals just to make a living.
It seems like I wanted to protest and sue them in jail and appeal for a
punishment as same as what they did with the poor animals just to teach them a
lesson
(please watch the videos...)
