How can this Earth be so cruel? Why do we have to live in a kill or be killed world? Why do we have to be either prey or predator? How can people be so selfish? I'm not saying I'm the most perfect person in the world because I know I'm not. I'm also selfish and always want everything to go my way. We all have our flaws. Maybe Pandora shouldn't have opened that box. A couple days ago I came home from a friend's house and found 2 puppies walking towards me. At first they were barking at me thinking I was a threat. Then they must have realized I wasn't one so they came strolling down the sidewalk and wagging their tails. They were jumping on me and whimpering. I felt bad for them because they were so small and looked starved and I knew I couldn't help them because that would make me responsible for them. And right now I can't afford 2 puppies. So I went inside my house and tried to forget about them. The next day I went to the library and when I opened the door I found them laying there and as soon as they saw me they started wagging their tails again. As if they knew me for a long time or if I was their owner. I walked to my car and they followed me and almost wanted to get in the car with me. As I was backing out of the driveway they followed me and when I drove off they ran after me. I'm a deeply compassionate, caring person so seeing this broke my heart. After a few hours I came home and there I found them waiting by the door. These puppies see me as their protection and wanted me to feed them. It took a lot of will power from me not to feed them or pet them. One of my friends told me to look at the big picture: "You take care of these 2, cost a good bit of money and time, then this attracts more dogs, so on and so forth." I agreed with him but I told him that there must animal shelters that will take care of them for a while and give them a chance at adoption and yes I understand that most of the time dogs get euthanized but I'd feel better knowing that they'll have an opportunity at adoption and being fed instead of dying of starvation. And yes I know they are just animals, but shouldn't they be just as important as humans? I mean they are part of our world right? It wouldn't be fair or it shouldn't be justified leaving dogs or any animal to starve. What if it were 2 kids? Would you really leave them to starve to death? I know there are some cruel people in this world that would. I know I wouldn't do that to children or any animal. My heart is too big, I can't help it. And I'm definitely not going to stay with my arms crossed and do nothing. We're all god's creations so we should all help each other in every way possible.
