For stray animals, simply surviving takes all their strength. They don't understand what they did wrong to deserve such cruel treatment.
Pregnant dog with sticks stuck in its body
A bloated stray dog wandered the streets of a scenic area in Chongqing. This seemed unremarkable; scenic areas always have a few stray dogs that rely on the charity of kind tourists for survival.
However, several people were gathered around the dog, looking uneasy and worried, all because of what was on the dog's back.
It turned out that an iron rod had been inserted straight into the dog's body. The dog was trembling with pain, but it was helpless and could only wander around the road at a loss.
Many people noticed the dog's unusual behavior and followed behind it, trying to help it take the stick down. Unfortunately, the dog was too frightened and would run away in terror if anyone got even slightly close.
According to several women in the scenic area who regularly feed it, the dog has been a stray here for a long time. The little guy wasn't like this before; he was very docile and not afraid of people at all, and he often came to the store to freeload.
Recently, my pet seems to be pregnant. Judging from her belly, she's about to give birth. I don't understand who could be so cruel as to hurt such a good-natured dog.
Even though the injuries on its body were caused by humans, the dog did not attack anyone; it just looked around in terror.
Someone called for help, and firefighters arrived at the scene quickly. However, when they saw more and more people gathering around them, the dog got scared and turned and ran away.
The rescuers chased it all the way to the parking lot, where the dog disappeared. They searched for a long time but couldn't find any trace of it.
After learning about the dog's situation, many local animal protection organizations joined the search, and thanks to the efforts of many kind-hearted people, the dog was finally found.
The iron rod has now been removed from the dog. Fortunately, it wasn't inserted too deeply, and the wound didn't bleed; it only left a shallow mark on the dog's body.
The big yellow dog is now being cared for by the aunt who used to feed it. The aunt said that after this incident, the dog seems to have become less trusting of humans, and its first reaction when it sees a stranger approaching it is to run away.
Yes, in its original perception, humans were warm beings. It probably couldn't understand why the people who had once helped it would hurt it so cruelly.
Six puppies whose legs were broken
Newborn puppies pose no threat to humans, yet they are still vulnerable to being harmed.
A woman in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, found a stray mother dog and her six newborn puppies at a construction site.
It's winter now, and finding food is very difficult for stray dogs, let alone a mother dog who needs to nurse her puppies. Out of compassion, the woman started feeding these seven dogs and plans to find them homes after they are weaned.
With the six puppies almost a month old, the woman contacted several people who were interested in adopting them and was preparing to take them to see the puppies when tragedy struck.
That day, as usual, she brought food to visit the mother dog and puppies, only to find that the once lively puppies had completely lost their ability to move, their forelimbs folded backward in an extremely strange posture.
The puppies were unable to stand up, and even with all their strength, they could only crawl slowly along the ground. The young woman quickly took the mother dog and her six puppies to a veterinary hospital.
The results of the dogs' examinations infuriated everyone present. All six puppies had their front legs broken, with shattered joints. Some puppies had fractured skulls, and their hind limbs had fractured fibulas and tibias. The most seriously injured puppy even had its bones exposed.
It's unimaginable what kind of person could treat these poor little lives so cruelly; they're less than a month old!
How desperate and helpless must the mother dog feel, watching all this and hearing her puppies' cries, yet being powerless to do anything about it?
They are still trying to be friendly with people.
Because the puppies are too young, the bone-setting surgery carries a great risk and they need to be older before the surgery can be performed. Except for one dog whose condition is so severe that it requires amputation, the other five puppies have been temporarily taken in by the woman to care for.
Fortunately, apart from severe malnutrition, the mother dog is in relatively good health. The veterinarian has already performed a spaying operation on her, and she will have to stay in the hospital for another seven days before she can be discharged.
Perhaps because she has experienced too much misfortune, the mother dog retains a strong sense of wariness towards humans, and getting her to trust humans is a very difficult task.
Compared to the wary mother dog, the puppies' behavior was even more heartbreaking. These adorable and innocent creatures seemed to have forgotten the evil people had inflicted on them. Even though they couldn't walk, they would still wag their tails wildly and try their best to crawl towards people when they saw them.
Stray animals have no home and no owner to protect them, but that doesn't mean they can be harmed with impunity.
What makes us human is not only our ability to distinguish right from wrong and good from evil, but also our understanding of how to protect the weak and our reverence for life.
At the same time, it is hoped that relevant regulations will be introduced as soon as possible to restrain the behavior of harming animals, so as to effectively stop those who commit violence against animals.
