Cruelty of Human Beings

Yesterday night, I was returning home after watching a movie with my sis. The lift was open at the ground floor...so automatically, I strode towards it...and stopped short. A medium sized dog was lying in the lift looking at us with huge black, sorrowful eyes. It looked healthy with its grey fur well combed except for its ears which looked mutilated. I could sense so strongly the sadness it was emitting. We decided to climb the stairs instead. Not because I was afraid...but rather unsure whether I could just leave it there in its despair....after having taken the lift. It had no collar on...but it was quite obvious that its previous owners had told it to stay in the lift before abandoning it. It was such an obedient dog...psch...

I always was of the opinion that dogs should not be kept in HDB apartments (too small...a dog requires much more space!) But its ok, if pple at least take good care of these dogs until they die or give them away when they can't. However, its just plain cruel, to buy good breed dogs and then abandon them (either bcoz u can't afford them any longer or coz u're fed up of them). These dogs usually can't take care of themselves...This is not the first time I've seen abandoned pets in my neighbourhood. Yet, we hesitate to call SPCA each time coz we very well noe dat they'll moz prob b put to sleep. So, we choose the lesser of the two evils...and hope that the dog adapts to the environment sufficiently to survive.
