About Me

I have done a lot of things in my life and have also worked in many different jobs to make a living and to experience life. This blog is just some of my musings, sometimes funny, sometimes inspirational, sometimes sad, sometimes angry, sometimes simple but all the time, it's just me.

Vagabond

A few doors down the road from me, among one of those single story houses, lives a family, likely Chinese. I can never be too sure in Sarawak, because some indigenous do look like Chinese as well, but I think they are Chinese.

This blog is not about race but more about animal cruelty. I refer to them as Chinese because I have only seen them and can only assume they are. Furthermore, all indigenous people I know have respect for animals.

Anyways, a few months ago, maybe close to a year eve, they had got a dog, a puppy, a nice cute little puppy mostly white with some spots.

Over the months I have seen the puppy grow up, to quite a big adult.

And I have seen the puppy, now a dog, being abandoned by the owners.

The dog roams the streets now, looking for scraps to eat. It has a problem with one of his legs and has got a limp. He has also developed a skin problem.

All this because some idiotic useless excuse of owners abandoned their dog.

They may have a million reasons for doing it, but it is inexcusable and pitiful.

Yesterday, while driving, I saw another puppy run out of this same house with a collar.

These owners have now got another puppy, a brown puppy which they do not seem to take care of it too well because he keeps running on the road.

I fear that this puppy will be abandoned by these assholes, just like they did the other one.

I apologies for my slightly vulgar posting today, but when people treat any living thing like this, they do not deserve my sympathy or my niceties.

Unfortunately, may such people exist, many people tend to abandon their dogs or not treat them well.

Please do not get a dog or a cat or a mouse or a rat or a snake or a lizard if all you are going to do is abandon it.

Take care and be well.

I know which house & the family you are talking about. Btw., this family happens to be Chinese because I had seen & heard their little kid speaking in a Chinese dialect.

I truly agree with your last statement. If one is not ready to care for another being (be it animal, human or alien etc. etc.), then don't...you will cause more HARM than you can imagine to that poor little animal, human or alien!!!

I REALLY despise those arrogant, rude people who think they can do whatever they want and like just because they have the means to do so (especially to animals...).

I know someone (who I no longer am aquainted with anymore), who collects puppies like her expensive designer bags. The only difference is that this person happens to dump the puppy to SPCA whenever she tires them (within less than a year). Mind you, this B***H easily spends between RM1,000 - RM3,000 on a particular breed (mostly toy size dogs). Either this person is 'sick' or has been abused when she was a child and never got proper help...................... Sigh!
