Make A Big Difference to One Dog 改变一只狗的命运

Here is a four-minutes video, but with sad music and shocking pictures; I cried for two minutes. At the beginning of this video, it shows two sentences: Saving one dog doesn't make a difference. We say it makes a big difference to one dog.
After these messages, we see dogs and cats in cages at shelters. With pain, perhapes hope, in their eyes, they notice people outside the cages. They move their paws reaching to them, wanting to be free and to play with the people. But the truth is, that over 12 million cats and dogs are put to death each year in the United States; only a few lucky ones are given a second chance. It showed in the video, that without a second chance, these dogs and cats would collectively be put in a "kill box", which is then filled with carbon monoxide. It reminded me of Hitler's gas chambers. After you watched the video and saw cute animals becoming a row of lifeless bodies, what were your feelings?
Immanuel Kant said: We can judge the heart of a man by his dealings with animals. In the video, without any mercy, two men closed the killing box lid in on struggling dogs trying to escape. This kind of box still exist today!
As shown in the video, pet dogs and cats can be humans' true friends. People also have full lives with our friends, relatives, work, etc., but for pets, lives are completely determined by their owners. So, please treat them well, because even if you only give them ten percent love, pets will give one hundred and twenty percent love back to you. You know, your dog loves you more than itself.
Just a piece of help and mercy could chage one sheltered dog's life!

这是一段4分钟的视频,伴着悲伤的音乐和令人震惊的画面,我一半时间都在哭。视频开头是这样两句话:救一只狗对我们来说或许不会改变什么,但是对狗狗来说,则是改变了它的命运。
在这个视频当中,我们看到在庇护所的狗狗和猫猫们,用带着痛苦,或许又是些悲伤的眼神注视着笼子外面的人们。它们伸出爪子,像是想要挣脱牢笼跟人们一起玩耍。但事实是,在美国每年有一千二百多万的猫狗被处死;只有仅仅一小部分幸运的才会被给予第二次的机会(被领养)。没有被领养的,则会被放入一个注满一氧化碳的“屠杀箱”处死。这让我想到了希特勒的毒气室。当看刚还是活蹦乱跳可爱的生灵,瞬间变成一具具冰冷的尸体,你们作和感想?
伊曼努尔·康德(德国古典哲学家)说过:我们可以从一个人对待动物的方式来断定他的心好不好。而我们从视频中看到的,是两个没有任何怜悯心的人盖上了狗狗们想挣脱的“屠杀箱”。这箱子至今还存在着!
就像视频当中显示的,宠物猫狗能成为人类真正的朋友。作为人,我们有着自己的亲戚,朋友,工作等等的生活。但是对宠物来说,主人就决定了它们的一生。所以,请善待你们的宠物。因为,即使你只是给予了一分的爱,它们也会用十二分的爱来回报你。知道吗?你的狗狗比爱自己还要爱你。
仅仅只是些许地帮助和怜悯,就能改变狗狗的一生!

People say a dog is like a 3-year old baby. If you treat them like your child, they will love you back as a child.

I love animals. But I don't have a dog because my little guinea pig is scared of dog & cat. I wish some day I can have one.

Good article. Please write more and keep the blog up!
