The Electric New Paper :
DOGGY FURORE
What dog seller did was irresponsible
I REFER to the letter 'Give dog seller a break' (The New Paper, 20 Oct).
30 October 2009
I do not understand why people even bothered to speak up for the man who adopted a dog and then tried to sell it.
The letter writer said that what the man did was not so bad.
But how can we be sure that everything the dog seller claimed was true?
Yes, he did advertise the selling price openly, but it appeared that he was not truthful in all that he told the buyer.
And he adopted a dog without being sure of his ability to keep it and look after it.
The letter writer asked why the netizens are so angry.
Maybe to the letter writer, a dog is merely an object. Something you buy when you like, only to discard when you lose interest.
But dogs are living creatures, just like us. They have feelings.
They can be sad, happy, angry and so on, just like us.
This pet owner was irresponsible. That is what enraged the netizens.
