mayday,mayday, mayday , dogs die

in #empathy8 years ago

if this was pen-written on paper , almost certainly it would be tear-stained and had some smeared letters .
no doubt what is about to be disclosed will be heart-wrenching for many readers , especially those who are really fond of dogs.
so if you are sensitive and tend to react very emotionally , don't continue reading , unless you are capable of converting reactive sadness into proactive empathy!

thousands , probably hundreds of thousands of starving dogs are roaming the streets of venezuela ,
many of them slimmed down to skin- covered skeletons , desperately trying to find anything edible , even scratching little road kill bugs off the pavement .
most of them are not genuine stray dogs , but abandoned pets that have been kicked out by their owners who cannot afford feeding them anymore due to inflation related impoverishment and extreme food scarcity .
many of those poor creatures are only not being killed and eaten by "humans" because they are to skinny and visibly disease ridden !
it is impossible to transmit the emotional impact this
situation is causing to someone who has been his entire life so deeply connected to his "canine siblings" that the term :"dog" means that much to him as if written inverted.
over sixty years of dog related experiences and -adventures all of them are perceived as various editions of ONE admired and beloved canine!
PLEASE HELP me to ease their suffering!
