PLEASE NOTE THAT THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE CONTAINS VERY GRAPHIC IMAGES OF AN ABUSED DOG. I AM WRITING THIS ARTICLE AS I WANT TO WRITE A PETITION TO STOP ANIMAL ABUSE IN CHINA!
*UPDATE* I’VE JUST HAD AN OVERWHELMING RESPONSE ON XIXI THE FOSHAN DOG! I AM PLANNING TO SET UP A PETITION TO URGE CHINA ON ANIMAL ABUSE AND WHAT CAN THEY DO TO STOP IT THROUGH EDUCATION! THIS IS STILL IN THE WORKS. WILL ANNOUNCE ONCE PETITION IS UP!
There has been a surge of internet users asking me whether the animal abuse in China is for real? Recently, an article about a Foshan dog was abused, eyes gouged out and genitals cut off. The dog was left to roam around the town to defend for himself but the people around him dare not touch him because they thought he was a diseased dog.
The Foshan dog struggled to survive day by day until a volunteer found the dog and rescued him to a clinic for an intensive medical treatment. Later, they name the dog Xixi.
According to the rescue group, when Xixi was being taken to for medical treatment, it desperately bit at the rope that tied him, because Xixi was afraid of being hurt again. This alone is enough to prove how strong Xixi’s will to live is. However, according to several doctors’ diagnosis, Xixi first suffered external injuries all over its body from human abuse, and then because of not being immediately treated, its wounds were infected and developed leukemia, causing white blood tumors in its body, and today Xixi’s wounds are beginning to quickly fester, its situation serious and unable to be controlled.
After careful observation by volunteers over a day and a night, it is very exerting and painful for Xixi to urinate and defecate, leading to a part of its intestines to be expelled~~ Apart from that, Xixi keeps going to dark corners. Those who have raised pets and have some experience all know that this is what dogs (and other animals) do when they know they are about to die and want to find a peaceful place to leave the world, and eventually Xixi chose to leave…
China had became the ultimate country for the worst animal abuse. Obviously, their government is doing NOTHING but too busy to make the economy boom. The animals are left to fend for themselves. The people are frustrated or uneducated; treat animals as their living punching bag i.e. “Hangzhou kitten killer claim that she was angry due to her divorce and used a kitten to release her anger!” Which leads me to another story on another kitten killer recently released photos of 2010 which I will not be putting up because it looks disgusting and also a little fake.
Now, I am just thinking… did this internet phenomenal actually encourage people to kill more animals? If they see it, will they follow such actions? Such as the Bonsai Kittens that were being stuffed in a bottle, later, imitated by many internet users thinking that it’s cool. Obviously, it’s fake but people who are not right in head may follow and actually stuff kittens in a bottle!
As I am writing this article, I am worried… if I post photos of the Foshan dog Xixi, will people imitate these actions on animals. But if I don’t post the photos, ignorant people will not know what’s going on in the world and probably won’t take any actions at all to stop animal abuse. I have no choice but to post the photos of Xixi below and hope someone will start a community to educate the uneducated in China that animal abuse is wrong!
I cannot blame the Chinese people for doing such actions because a lot of the Chinese people in the rural areas are either very poor or uneducated. Eating dogs and cats in China is common! Let alone stepping on a kitten may mean nothing to them. If the government is not going to educate them; then who’s going to? I still think that charitable communities and stop animal abuse NGO’s are not doing enough to reach the right places. I hope someone will step up and start thinking another way to stop these gruesome acts in poorer areas.
Education is the keyword here.
To sum up this story, I feel sorry for the Foshan dog who had a strong will to survive even though he was left in pain. I guess he finally gave up after the rescuers tried to save him and may be… they should have put him to sleep earlier to stop the pain. Please pass on the word to stop animal abuse. There are sick people around the world who would do such inhumane actions. Remind them that animals don’t have a voice but we do! We can help them!
AGAIN, I REPEAT, THE FOLLOWING PICTURES ARE EXTREMELY GRAPHIC!
