For a while, since liking the pages, I find myself pretty entertained by the comments exchanged pertaining to posts shared by MDDB and MIAR.
MDDB is more action oriented and with a very much greater audience and, support in terms of donations....
Efforts taken by the NGOs in saving and caring for the strays were undeniably commendable! Though I've lost count of the moments I had cried over the photos, stories and videos shared....I was never so depressed as I am now over the recent sharing by MIAR.... Had wanted to attach the video and photograph depicting the Koreans treatment of the canines....which had since been removed... I guess may be due to the protests from some who do not take to the sharing.....
It has brought a flashback from the scene I witnessed at the wet market while in Vietnam.
Tears had sprung to my eyes then, when my eyes met those of two white ducks which were placed lying on their tummies with their feet bound, on top of a crate amongst several chickens.
They were literally pleading to be saved from being slaughtered, with their eyes and faint quacks. It had struck me at that very moment that they could have been our canine friends....
I made a momentary vow then to abstain from consuming meat.... a vow which was not honored as heading home, at the airport, from Burger King, I ordered 2 pieces chicken wings.......
I have till today still find it hard to resist any dish that spells chicken, crabs, lobsters, prawns or fish....
To steer away from guilt, I find myself citing the above being staple foods for mankind, just as the mosquitoes being food for the lizards, worms for the birds, smaller fishes for bigger fishes, smaller animals for larger ones....a predator prey cycle...
Yeah, I know and I'm sorry...very lame, my excuses for being a BEAST of prey.....
