100th post

i finally reached my 100th post. muahaha. okay, enough of crap. let me start my point right now. about animal cruelty.

i consider myself as an animal lover. i have a lovely dog named smokie. one day i read the newspapers about abused dogs. i really really hate it when people do such thing to animals. animals have feelings too. they know what is 'love' and 'affection'. but why are they treated this way? one german shepherd dog, named Sheena was tied up in her house. with no food or water. siting on her own faeces. her neighbours called the veterinary department but nobody came. then, they decided to SPCA and SPCA rushed to the scene. it was too late. Sheena had to be put to sleep.

it only creates awareness to us when an animal is abused. and another Mongrel puppy was beaten by his owner with a rubber hose. when it was published in the newspapers, i wanted to cry. the poor Mongrel was in skin and bones. how can these owners do such inhuman things????!! the fine for animal abuse is only 200 bucks or 6 months in jail. that is not good enough! animals are living things too. they should raise the fine to a higher amount! this is so not fair!

now, talking about the owners. when you are ready to have a pet, be ready for the consequences. you have to be real patient. and do your responsibility as an owner. do not leave them starving! if you really wanted to have a pet, you woudnt do such things! or even worse, do not ever abuse them! if you have no time to take care of them, give it to your friends or SPCA! at least it is better for them. they dont have to suffer. for the sake of the humanity, the galaxy and all living things! why do you release your anger towards animals?!! animals are living things too! animals should be loved, not abused! animals arent things. they have feelings. they know what is 'sadness' and 'pain'. if you want to release your anger, go and do something else which you dont have to touch the animals! if you were treated this way, how would you feel? would you enjoy it? definitely no!! so dont ever abuse animals. instead, show them love.

furthermore, animals can cheer you up. it sounds ridiculous, but they can really put a smile on your face! they know it when you are happy or sad. animals are loyal too. remember the German Shepherd, Sheena i mentioned just now? Sheena would still lick her owner's hands even though she was treated this way. can you imagine that? which living thing would ever be so loyal to their owner even though they were abused? no right?!

i admit that my dog gets me on my nerves when she is naughty. but i always tell myself to be patient. as i love my smokie very much, i do not want to let her go. because she is the guard of my house and my best canine friend ever. =)
