Cruelty...

It's not my intention to spoil your day but pictures shown below are real situations happening everyday in our neighbourhood. I saw this advertisement by PAWS in The Star. It says:


"Life is a cruel game. Indeed, for millions of abandoned, tortured and diseased animals roaming the streets.
At PAWS, we help these cats and dogs start anew. We shelter, treat and vaccinate them. Then, we feed them with food and attention that they've been deprived of.
Sadly, we're also the same people who have to put them to sleep. The truth of the matter is, when overpopulation encroaches into the boundaries of space and means, we do what we must.
Help us make a difference. You can start by neutering your pet. It's the first step in reducing the overpopulation of stray animals. You'll also be doing Little Jimbo a favour, by adding a few hearty years to his life.
If you don't have a pet, PAWS is great place to start looking. Neutered and vaccinated, all they need is a loving home.
Of course, we also welcome volunteers and donationations in kind.
After all, at PAWS, our dream isn't to see these animals dead, but to give them a new life."



It shows a picture of an old man hugging a cute puppy. It really strike a chord in me.


I browse the SPCA site regularly to see their upcoming events. Read some news and saw some heart breaking pictures. Why do we need to do this to the animals that are suppose to be our pets? Man's best friend? If, in the first place you do not have the intention to care and love them, then do not own them. It is so sad to see owners treat the dogs as shown in the pictures below.

Some of them still can be saved but some are just too wounded that nothing can be done anymore. Please, love the animals as how we love ourselves and the people we care about.
