Dog waggling morning

I was awaken by a pitiful cry of a neighbour's dog. The cry was so disturbing and the dog is either sick or wounded. I look out of my belcony and look around but I could only heard the cry coming from park oppersite my house. I wonder whether I should call the SPCA to report to the authority to investigate what is actually happening. It would relieve the pain inflict on the surrounding neighbourhood or on the dog.

I believe there are dog lovers who can take good care of the animals and I also know that there could be people who rear dogs for the sake of rearing it or just to let get the dog guard their homes and do not know or care about their well beings. Some bad fellas could be causing cruelty to the animals.

My advise for those selfish people who do not know how to take care of themselves to avoid rearing dogs because it is better they spend their time to take care of themselves first before taking care of the dogs. There is a saying "we should not try to hear a hat too big for our head" and in short, it means that we should do things that within our ability. We should not just follow the "Jones" blindly and spend beyond our means or do things beyond our ability. We should be realistic and practical.

Sometimes, I could see people carrying their poodles or pekingnese dogs to restaurant or hawkers's centres and I think it is very unfair to the people in these places because this action could be deemed as infringement on the rights of the people. Just like not taking care of your sick dog and letting them cry in pain when they are wounded. This is also an infringement in the rights of your neighbours who is entitle to live in peace and silence or entitled to their peaceful sleep. For those who bring their dogs around or hugged them like babies, there are people besides you who are allergy to the dog's hair and such hair of dogs could be harmful to those suffering from ashma.

In the US and Europe, those people who are disturbed by the sound of dogs or harmed by dog's hair could be sued for damages or attracted public liabilities. The culture in the US and EU observed human rights very strictly and the people in Asia is gradually getting aware of such issues as well. So, for those people who is not aware of human rights issue to be careful and be conscious of your actions on other people.

I believe everybody can do anything as long as they respect the rights of other people and not not inflict harm on them. Live and lets live but live in harmony and respect for other people.

Namaste.
