We all know that cities and rural areas are very different, and this is especially true in terms of pet ownership. Dogs are largely ignored in rural areas; their only role is guarding the house. Many farmers raise chickens and ducks, and to prevent theft, they keep a dog specifically to watch over the property and even negotiate prices. In cities, however, dogs are primarily kept as pets. They are groomed daily, fed large quantities of dog food, and well-cared for. Many netizens even say that they live worse lives than a dog these days.
In rural areas, people don't actually value animals as much as they do in cities. Often, if their pets make minor mistakes or become too much of a nuisance, owners will sell them. Also, if they lack funds, they might consider selling their pets to make some extra money. The following story is about selling dogs; let's take a look.
One day, a netizen went to a dog farm to watch the excitement. The dog farm was divided into two main areas: one for buying dogs and one for selling them. The netizen first went to the area for selling dogs and saw a mixed-breed dog. Next to it, the owner was taking a burlap sack, intending to put the dog inside. The owner placed the dog on a scale, weighed it, and then negotiated a price with the dog seller. He then took a green burlap sack to put the dog inside.
The dog was terrified and trembling. Perhaps realizing its owner wanted to sell it, it clung to its owner, refusing to leave. This angered the owner, who kicked the dog a few times. We could all see the dog was terrified; its eyes were filled with fear and reluctance. It didn't understand why its owner wanted to sell it, and even shed tears at the end.
However, little changed. In the end, the dog was still put into a sack and handed over to a dog dealer by its owner. Frankly, I think the owner was being very irrational. The dog was incredibly loyal, guarding the house in the countryside. Was it really worth selling for such a small amount of money? That would be a huge loss. Besides, the owner had invested far more time and effort in raising the dog over the years than the money would have saved. All I can say is that people in rural and urban areas have very different mindsets. What are your thoughts? Feel free to leave your comments.
