Annotation1- Is this occasion an euthanasia or a threat to death?

 Death penalty is a controversial issue for us because we regard human right as an important thing. Criminals are given many rights like reading newspapers, proper right of law. On the issue of animal euthanasia, many people will think that euthanasia is a painless way of death. However, if we see the cruel truth in the shelter or know how large amount of the stray dogs will die in one day, can we still keep quiet about this issue? First, the euthanasia technologists use a stick with fixer to drop the dog out. As we can see, the scene is so rough and brutal. The dog is not dead yet, it still has feelings like pain and fear. Nevertheless, it seems no one in this shelter has cared about this. Second, they needle to put the medicine into its heart, not just put it to death straightly, but sting it over and over again and make it longer dieing pain. Because the constant moving of the dog, the needle can not sting straightly to heart, but usually to pleural. The efficient of medicine will become slower and cause longer and struggling pain. This kind of occasions happen more often than stinging needles straight to their heart and make them die peacefully. Third, the dogs are just piled up on the wet and dirty floor to be thrown to burn. This scene shows that they completely do not have their own dignity at all.

  These three things shocked me most. The first shocking scene makes think the question like: why does the euthanasia technologist have to use that kind of tool to take the dog out? Can’t we use some ways that are tenderer and make them less painful? For example, use a rope for owners to walk their dogs. They can be taken out in peaceful atmosphere, without pain and fear during the process of being taken out to die. My thoughts to the second scene are connected to the thoughts of the first scene. If the dogs can be treated tenderly, then the procedure of taking them out will be simpler. Therefore, needling will be more efficient. Dogs can go through this process less painful, and people who need to do these things as work can finish it quicker and the burden of hearts can be less than before. The third scene is the problem of surroundings. If the place which used to kill the dogs is dirty, then in the same thoughts, the living surroundings are not comfortable for sure. Dogs are caught and cared by people; however no matter whether they are living or dead, their existence do not have dignity at all. Their lives will only be more valuable once people start to focus on their dignity. Is the euthanasia really reasonable, do people really have right to end other animal’s lives? If people are really going to make them die, the dignity should be provided and not be ignored.
