I remember when I was a child, my family raised a pig for three years before it was sent to the slaughterhouse. My family took some pork back to eat, but I didn't eat pork for a while because I didn't want to eat the pig we raised ourselves.
What I find even more baffling is that someone would be so heartless as to harm their dog, whom they consider their master. How ruthless must a person be to do such a thing? Sometimes, some people are truly ruthless when it comes to their own interests.
This mother dog had just given birth to her puppies, yet she left them aside, ignoring them completely. Such a dog seems so cold and heartless. However, behind this indifference lies something even more heartbreaking.
The mother dog's owner was a dog meat vendor who kept many dogs. These dogs were either strays he had taken in or bred by the vendor himself, all for the purpose of making a profit.
This mother dog, who recently gave birth, is one of the puppies born to a dog that used to live here. She was kept in a cage from birth, with no freedom whatsoever.
It has lived here for two years now and has bred many puppies for the vendors. Most of the puppies it gave birth to have been disposed of by the vendors, and it was something it witnessed firsthand.
This mother dog was fortunate enough to live to this day because she bred puppies for the traders. Although she is still alive, her heart is already dead. So after giving birth to the puppies this time, she ignored them completely, as if she would rather they had never come into this world, so they wouldn't have to experience the suffering that follows.
The mother dog didn't want her puppies to suffer the same pain she did, so she silently watched them slowly die. If someone hadn't rescued her later, none of her puppies might have survived.
What's most puzzling is that these dogs consider the vendor their owner; their greatest joy while in their cages each day is seeing him. Perhaps they see him as their "benefactor" because he feeds them daily!
The dogs in the cages looked forward to being taken out by the vendors every day, but none of the dogs that were taken out ever came back.
Each dog was overjoyed the moment it was taken out, its tail wagging excitedly, thinking the vendors were taking it on a picnic. One second the dogs were excited, the next they were on their deathbed in the vendors' hands.
However, the other dogs in their cages, envying those who were taken out, never knew that their companions would never return. They continued to hope that they would be the "lucky dog" to be taken out.
The vendor never had any affection for the dogs he kept, and the dogs' enthusiasm for him never warmed his heart. After all, in his eyes, the dogs were just "objects" for making money.
The dog breeder kept his dogs in a very remote rural area, choosing this secluded location to avoid detection. However, nothing stays hidden forever, and the breeder's illegal activities were eventually discovered.
After receiving a report, the rescuers rushed to the scene. The vendor initially refused to let the rescuers into the area where the dogs were kept, but after some persuasion, he finally agreed to let them in.
When the rescuers entered, they saw the mother dog ignoring her puppies. Three of the puppies had already died, and the remaining three were in poor condition.
The rescuers immediately began treating the surviving dogs, and thankfully, they acted quickly enough to save all three. After a lengthy discussion with the vendor, the rescuers finally persuaded him to release the remaining dogs.
Dogs have a close relationship with humans. Although they are animals, they are very loyal to their owners. It is heartbreaking to see them become objects for some people to profit from.
