Stray dogs issue

 

Not long ago, there was a controversial issue which being debated about fiercely: the existence of death penalty. The reason why we argued about this topic so intensely and even made people who involved into this dilemma is the eagerness which we tried to find the balance between the right of the families of victims and criminals. We paid a lot of attention on human right of death penalty, however the attention on the euthanasia of stray dogs are quite little. There is one common place between the death penalty on criminals and the euthanasia on the stray dogs. That is, these two measures both rely on the end of other’s lives to solve the problem or reduce the enduring pain. If we think it more carefully, we will come up some thoughts that do we really have right to end any other lives? Don’t we have better solution? When we try to find the balance between human right and stray animal right, why don’t we focus the issue of the existence of euthanasia as much as death penalty? Animals and human should be treated equally on their rights, then the basic of the foundation of pursuing the balance between the animals and human can be assured.

  Why do we have to raise attention on the right of the stray animals? One reason is because the problems which stray animals caused effect our lives widely and deeply. Another one is because we cause or effect this problem anytime and any where just because one of our thoughtless actions. Many people keep Labradors crazily after a Japanese movie Quill had been released, but many of them became stray dogs after being fed soon. If something about dogs appear and become a kind of fashion, then many dogs will become homeless or dead after the fashion faded. Stray dogs cause problems, but the reason of causing this problem is ourselves. In this condition, how can we just want to kill dogs to solve problems? After all, the most important part of the problem is not solved. How can we find ways to make the rights of stray animals and human is still a problem which has to be explored further?
