Annotation2-Do human really have right to decide the life and death of stray dogs? The inequity between human and authority decides stray dogs’ death

 When we talk about the issue that stray dogs must be put to death with euthanasia, it relates to the imbalance between human beings and stray animals. While the power which human control is greater than the power stray animals have. They have no choice to be obedient to their doom of death. This thing is more complicated than we thought when we watch this video clip.
  This clip brings up something to think about the issue. First, the school can be regarded as epitome of authority. The structure of the power is like pyramid. Most people with less power will be the bottom of it, and fewer one but with more power can control or change the condition to what they want. It turns out that the condition is what the authority who are of less number want. However, the majority of the society has less power to control the situation. The crowd has less power than authority, but more power than animals. They can decide to keep or abandon their pets, nevertheless in some occasion, their rights of deciding is deprived. The school use brutal and inappropriate way to deal this problem, but this outthought way they used is not only an encroach to student’s basic right, but also the severe problem about live and death. We can make a rage of public opinion to prevent school to punish students, but dogs’ destiny does not change. The reason is because the focus is still on the students but nit dogs, although it is about whether their lives will be deprived or not.
   The way which authority deals the problems should be more reasonable, no matter on their stands or the measure they takes. There are some ways. Think not only on the focusing spot but also on the aspects which are ignored. Use the power you have over people in comfortable way for people to feel. Try to think more than one alternatives to replace on occasion not being expected. In this case, nor should the attitude of the school be so tough and change neither. You have to be reliable for your people; otherwise you will lose trust from people. If you determine to carry the dog away and punish the students, you cannot later say that you are dealing with the problem of dogs. Actually, you did not think for the dog, but just to escape from blame which comes from throng. If you really want to deal with dogs’ problem, let them die with euthanasia is not thoughtful conduct because you just want to take their lives away. Dogs cannot be taken or fed in the classroom, but you can a place for them. You can also use the devotion which students are willing to show to. Organize the students who want to do something for dogs, range their time to make a schedule to take care of them. When it comes to holidays, hire someone to take care of them. If you really want to respect their living dignity, there are many ways besides simply making them die or punishing students. It all depends.

  2. I agree with the other options you gave us to solve the problems with stray dogs. A lot of stray dogs in Taiwan became stray dogs because their owner didn't want to hold responsibility over them, and threw them away like trash. What the students did was out of pity and care for the little animals, we should not teach them to abandon life at such a young age. Everyone should help to change the wrong attitude and measures that we and the government is lashing out.

  3. Our school also have many stray dogs, and most of students get along peacefully with them. I think that our school make a good example for treating stray dogs. I agree with your idea about the imbalance between human beings and stray animals. People do not have right and power to decide dog's life. Its life is not come from our power, and also, its death should not decide by human being- who used to love them as family member and finally abandon it.
