Cruelty to Animals

I dunno if how far this has been circulating, but recently there’s a lot of people posting this news about this wan tan mee stall owner splashing scalding hot water on some innocent dog (Well, on my FB wall anyway). o.O

I’m not gonna say that this is not an action of cruelty, NOOOO.

This guy is definitely being really cruel and unfair to that hapless dog that’s probably just attracted to his “famous” wan tan mee.

But what I’m trying to say is, we (society) is TOO focused on the people who directly do acts of cruelty toward these animals. How about those people that do it INDIRECTLY?

How can someone be cruel indirectly, you ask. Well, in my opinion, this title can be bestowed upon those humans that have done actions that led to this miserable ending (the dog – or whatever else – being tortured).

For one, if the dog has an owner, then the owner is at fault for letting his animal run free.

If the dog HAD an owner, then its the ex-owner’s fault for abandoning the poor thing without a proper means of survival other than to wander around, sniffing around “famous” wan tan mee stalls, and end up angering the owner of the place, causing the owner to be cruel to the animal, leading to some “helpful” civilian taking pictures to spread the news AFTER a kind person has rescued the dog, giving publicity to the evil owner, but not highlighting the fact that a REAL kind civilian had taken in the poor dog and help it for real (permanently or not, I’m not sure, cuz these “kind” civilians are more interested in getting people to boycott the stall than to ask people to ACTUALLY help the animals).

If the dog NEVER had an owner, then its parents probably had owners, if not, well, SOMEWHERE up in the doggy family tree, there exists this particular dog who HAD a human being who “released” it into the wild. Now then, I blame THIS human, for being the root of all animal cruelty that we find (mostly) in strays. Why, cause this genius set free a part of a breeding machine that will ensure the births of many unwanted animals in the world.

And, it is normal for such people to frown at people euthanizing strays, saying it is unhumane and whatnot, it can be adopted, but will never adopt one for themselves. Same goes to the people who are said to have watched the stall owner pour hot water on the above mentioned dog.

These people THINK they are not included in the equation, but in reality, they are already in the mist of it, guilty of the most common form of cruelty ever: APATHY.

To these sorry excuses of human beings, I sincerely pray that when their time comes (or ends, whatever), may whomever rule over hell make sure that they get to experience whatever they have done to these animals a thousand fold, and that they are reborn into such animals with the same fate for many cycles to come.

Remember, animals that are wanted, are “pets”. Animals that are not, are Strays, and that is where the S in “peSt” comes from.

PESTs should be eliminated for the greater good.

It sounds cruel, but it is a form of reluctant cruelty that is born from the unknowing and evil cruelty of others.

We should not give more chances to so called human beings to fall in to the temptation that is cruelty.

Have a pleasant existence, people of the world.
