recently there are alot of stray dogs coming from no-where near my neighbourhood.
&today, they were caught*quite brutally*by some dog catchers who were all malays!!
OMG~
this took place when me and mum were just about to drive out for some grocery-shopping..
suddenly we heard painful barkings and cryings from the doggies!!*they were all quite big-sized*
and i quickly rushed out to see what had happened..
but i only saw some dogs were brutally pushed into lorry-kind of vehicle.
the ones that look alot like vans used to carry prisoners*with fences that u can somehow see the dogs inside*
as i didnt see the earlier parts, my neighbour auntie who watched them said they use chains to hook up the dogs' head and abruptly sent them into the vehicle..
i was very shocked to hear that!!!
that is very cruel!!to treat animals in that way!
and i wonder who were the people that caught the dogs..
i saw they wore some kind of "uniforms"
i hope that they are not some bad people..cos i once heard that there are people who catch those stray dogs and ill-treat them or even EAT them!!!
i do hope that they are some professional personel who are ordered by the municipal council to send the dogs to some other safe places like animal shelters..as it must be someone from our neighbourhood who complained about the disturbance caused by these poor stray doggies..
i felt sympathy for the dogs actually..
what will be their fate and what is waiting for them ahead?
i cant imagine..
even my neighbour said the dogs are bound to something unhamane this time..
gosh..
but my mum said luckily they didnt shoot them to death on the spot*i remebered i heard some noises that must be the shooting of these stray dogs at night when i was young*!!
but will they get better if they are being abused and beaten later on??
haix..
my mum said some stray dogs are actually dogs which are abandoned by their owners..
so, please, if u r dog owner, never ever abandon ur dog(s)..
imagine what they will cease to be..
lucky ones may survive, but unlucky ones...
and also, never ever buy urself a pet just out of sudden desire or want to try on something new, and then throw them aside..
that's why my mum never allow to buy me and sis dogs or cats as pets..
she scared we would ignore them someday..
then they'll be very pitiful.TT
so, if u seriously want to but one, please, be a responsible owner..
animals have feelings too~
anyway, back to the topic, the dogs here didnt really caused any trouble*as they have never attacked anyone here, nor barked non-stop in the nights, at least this is from what i know, but idk if there is any that i didnt hear of*
there are around 5-6 dogs accroding to mum as she saw them wandering around..
a huge amount actually!!haha
not that i wish them to be wandering around our neighbourhood, but neither do i want them to be destroyed!!
so just hope that they are really being sent to those respective places that take care of stray animals..
&just a small story here related to those stray doggies at my neighbourhood..
one day, i remember i was opening my house automatic gate using the automatic device, to let my sis in after she came back from school.
that time it was very stormy and rainy..
just when i quickly opened the gate, a stray dog*idk if it was also caught today*followed my sis in!!
cos it wanted some shelter from the rain.
i was very panicked that time cos a big dark-brown dog had entered the house compound.
as my mum hates to have any stray animals in the house, i had to went out and automatically opened the gate to "shoo" the dog out.
i can tell u that i felt very very sorry, to the very utmost extent just when i tried to chase the dog out.
i can still remember clearly now that the dog was looking at me with its watery and pleading eyes..;(
but i cant help it because my mum would scold me if i didnt get rid of it.
i guess maybe u can tell the awkward situation i was in that time..
i really felt very sorry to the dog.
i felt myself cruel and had no feelings.
it just wanted some shelter and protection in the rain.
and yet i coulnt help this poor creature.
so it walked slowly and obediently out of my house after i shoo-ed it out, gently..
if my mum were not in that time, i would probably let it have some rest there till the rain is gone..
i dont know why, but this event had somehow leave quite a heavy impact on me..
i curi-curi took the photo of the vehicle that drove the animals away..
p/s:there were also lotsa stray cats at the back alley of my house, much more than the number of the dogs.
i guess here is becoming like a "small heaven and refugee" for stray animals already though*gulp*
