Inhuman Act!!!

It all started when I brought my 3 dogs out for a walk yesterday
evening. As usual, Junior will run away to the alley at the back
of the house to find his friend. I just ignore him as he will usually
come home on his own after awhile.
So, I ended my walk and busied myself with some work.

Then, I heard my mum shouting, calling my name. She told me
that my neighbour saw some men shooting stray dogs at the back
alley. The first thing that crosses my mind was
"Is Junior home yet?"
My uncle who was at my house that time quickly rode his bike and
search for Junior. I ran to the back alley as fast as I could.

Upon reaching there, I saw a group of Five Malay men.
They have already surrounded Junior's friend.
I panicked and quickly scanned for my dog.
I looked around but I did not see him.
I only saw three stray dogs loitering there.

Then, I saw my uncle giving me a hand signal.
I approached him.
It seems that Junior recognizes his motor and went to greet
my uncle.
As I was walking there, I heard a loud "BANG".
Then only I realize that there's a guy with a riffle, standing only a few feet away from me.

I panicked and quickly grab Junior by his collar.
I drag him all the way home as he refuses to move.
My mind when numb and all I can think of was to get him away from there.

At home, my mum told me that they shot Junior's friend.
She saw that dog dropped dead.
I was rather sad and angry.
That dog did not even resist or tried to harm anyone.
She just sat there quietly, totally unaware of what's happening.
The next thing, she's dead.

The worse thing is, she's pregnant and was about to give birth
soon. She was a nice and good dog.
I used to play and sometimes fed her.
Now, she's gone.
Not only one life is taken away.
All those innocent, unborn puppies never get their chance to see the world.

How can these people be so cruel???
Imagine, they do this everyday as a living....
Why do Malaysia still have the policies of shooting stray dogs?
There are better solutions in controlling the amount of strays.
They can neuter the dogs to stop them from breeding.
Dogs are also God's creation.
Dogs are a living being too, they can't just simply kill them.
This is just too cruel and inhuman.

I agree with you.
There are always better solutions in controlling stray dogs.
I just don't understand why these people are so damn cruel!
They show no mercy to dogs, I believe God will show NO mercy to them as well.

Just pray for that pity little friend of Junior. Peace be with her in heaven.

I totally agree with you.
They will get back for what that they have done.
I hope all those dogs don't suffer so much when they die.

Hi Sherryn, Gosh! Your posting sure hit me hard. How can these people go round shooting these dogs, even though strays.
Don't they have a kind of dog centre for stray dogs?
I agree with you, how cruel it is and heartless too.
And to think the dog they shot was going to have puppies too. Sheeeesh!

Suggest you better keep your dog close by....
Glad to know you love dogs, me too.
Have a pleasant weekend, best regards, Lee.
