Revised Annotation2-2-Do human really have right to decide the life and death of stray dogs? The inequity between human and authority decides stray dogs’ death

 Source: Youtube( The students who took care of stray dogs had been threatened to be punished by school)

  Revision: I try to explain the power structure and its inequality more clear by using a way which relate the reason and the result. I try to focus more on the change of doom of dogs’ and human‘s influence on them. Make the connection between imbalanced power and life more strong.

 The treatment to stray dogs in our society, it changes not simply because of the thoughts of individuals. On the contrary, it will be more complicated problem due to the structure of human society. The structure of human society nowadays changed a lot from the beginning. With more needs appear, the society becomes more complicated, and the gap between the poor and the rich get bigger and bigger. It not only has impact on our human beings, but also influences the solutions we use when the events about stray dogs happen. This video showed a part of this tremendous problem, however there is even bigger part that we do not see. The inequity do exists between human beings and stray dogs, and we already see this with so many dogs being abandoned and killed. In the mean time, there are still many dogs keep being breed to fulfill the need of people who want to have dogs with so-called noble filiations. On the other hand, people often ignore that the imbalanced structure in human society also has big influences on the inequity between dogs and human which already be there.

  We can think about pyramid-like structure in this film. Students have higher power than dogs, so they can take them in and think way to give them a place which can provide more comfortable life. The origin result will be that chance for dogs to survive will be bigger than the occasion they former be in. However, when authority, school in this case involves in, things become different and the focus of the problem change from dogs to the punishment which students had. The reason of causing this end is because who has more power to control (school) changes what the former controller (student)’s decision. We have to turn back to the beginning problem to reconsider the new difficulties so that we can take care of the both sides.

  The way which authority deals the problems should be more reasonable, no matter on their stands or the measure they takes. Being as a symbol of authority, you have to think on the stand of people who managed by you, and you should be reliable to them. These are two most important things. 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 do 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 a 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. The measure will cost money. However, if you really want to respect their living dignity, there are many ways besides simply making them die or punishing students. It all depends.

  Revision: I try to write my point in more rational way, throwing out the problems for reader to think. The paragraphs also are divided in more specific way, not so emotional, and try to be more subject

  All over the world, the problem of stray dogs has been a debating for a long time. Although many people have thought up many ways to try to resolve or ease the problem, there are still many dogs wondering on the road. This difficult problem needs resolving, and the one who is the most straightly powerful is our government.  When we focus on the policies which deal with the problem of stray dogs in Taiwan, we will find out that the main idea of these policies is similar: using killing to control the amount of stray dogs. Many people agree with it because they think it is a painless way for dogs to die and this may be a simpler and quicker solution. However, it is not actually a painless and reasonable way after we saw this film clip.

  Life is individual and must be treated in respect, no matter it is alive or dead. Stray dogs do cause problems, and some people agree with euthanasia to solve this problem because they think it is painless. Nevertheless, euthanasia is cruel and pitiless. If these dogs can not be treated with dignity and respect when they are put to death, no one will focus on the right of living. Furthermore, no one will want to think deeper about do they really need to be put to death, but if we see the cruel truth presented in the film, we can try to force some people to pay attention to this way of dealing with their problem. The main problem which causes this kind of problem is because we do not regard them equally. We think we are superior to them, so we use our improvement to control and change the condition to what we want. Therefore, we can try to explain why euthanasia is painful. We just focus on the results that they are dead in the end, but we do not pay attention to the process. We just simply think that the medicine which put into their bodies must worked, but we do not care about the pain they endured will be severer.

  Why do they endure such pain? We think we have right to decide their lives and death, so we use our thoughts to put them to death. Euthanasia seems a kind way for them to die in painless way. However, when we decide to put them to death, the owners of breeding grounds keep making puppies to sell. Although we use euthanasia to make them dead to decrease their amount, on the other hand, we use breeding to fulfill customers’ need. How does euthanasia work in this occasion? What is the meaning for us to decide their lives and death in this occasion?

For Sue
I like the way which you arrange your article. It is convincing that you list some examples from this clip and describe in your view. I believe there will be more things to know in the future.Being a female, I think it is important issue for me to know more.
For Steambread
I have seen some films like CSI, and I aree with that  interrogation  is art. It is not only the conflicts between human, but also system and the institution. Institution is based by law and law has to be justice. However, justice needs to be found by people who will also sway in their heart. This is why this is hard.However, why do  many people not look at such point is interesting thing to discuss.
For Flora
The definition of normal is hard to saybecause it is not only about the shape it looks like, but also the things inside. There is where the conflicts occur. How is the normal  be defined, and how the function of family defined? How does it come out? And who creat them? The issue of family is big, and it all comes from parts of us.

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.
