If
you are a pet owner, you know too well that you have a huge
responsibility. In fact, some pet owners say that if you have a pet,
it’s just like having a small child under your care. This is why before
you decide to own a pet, think about it hundreds of times and gauge
whether you are are ready for the responsibility or not.
Aside
from providing shelter and basic needs like food and water, you also
have to make sure that your pet is healthy. There will be times when you
need to bring your pet to the vet especially when they get sick. And
going to a vet is also the same as going to a human doctor – you need to
pay and buy medicines or spend for the needed surgery.
If you think you are not prepared for all this, then maybe you are not ready to be a pet owner.
You
need to have an understanding of the responsibilities of having a pet
because you might end up to be in a cruel situation like what happened
in China.
A
dog owner in China threw his pet in an animal hospital after he was fed
up with taking care of it. A video became viral on Chinese social media
platforms before it was picked up by the foreign press. The said video
elicited strong responses and reactions from the public.
The
footage was from an animal hospital in Fuyang, Anhui, China. In the
video, the vet was carrying a dog in his hand. The pooch looks weak and
it was visibly sick. In fact, it did not even make a move while it was
being carried to be placed in a pen. In the background can be seen as
the dog owner who was with a little girl who is probably his daughter.
Out
of the blue, the man snatches the black pooch from the vet. It seemed
like the vet was also shocked by the owner’s reaction. Then all of a
sudden, the man slams the dog to the floor with so much force that the
dog bounced from the impact. It then limped and moved to the ide of a
table.
But the owner did not stop there. He proceeded to stomp the poor dog to
the ground on the head and body. He did it not once, but twice.
According
to resources, the reason for the man’s outrage was the $70 bill for the
dogs’ medical treatment. The man lost his cool and decided to punish
the dog instead.
The
video did not have any audio but it can be seen that the dog is
struggling from the cruelty inflicted by its owner. The man could’ve
done more if not for the intervention of the little girl who pushed and
shoved him away from the dog. The girl even kicks the man and forcing
him to stop. The girl was able to stop the man, but she might be too
late.
When
the video went viral, the vet was under attack. The people criticized
him for not doing anything. The man who kicked the dog was the one who
inflicted the cruelty against the animal, but seeing the vet just
standing there and not doing anything was clearly a poor representation
for his profession.
It could be seen that the vet did gesture at the man as if asking why he did it, but the damage is done.
Since
there are no rules protecting pet animals in China, the man will most
likely go unpunished for the cruelty that he did to the poor dog.
