In this nationwide fight against the epidemic, not only is the life safety of us humans threatened, but some pet cats and dogs are also affected.
Since the lockdown last year, many cats and dogs have died in large numbers because their owners were unable to take care of them in time because they were left at home.
Cats and dogs must depend on us humans for survival. Even if they are not the target of this virus attack, they are still inseparable.
On September 28, Ms. Liu, a scrapper in Harbin who was diagnosed with COVID-19, asked for help on the Internet.
Ms. Liu has three cats at home, a Siamese cat and two Garfield cats. These cats have been with her for five or six years.
These kittens are not so much her pets as they are her relatives and her life!
The reason why Ms. Liu was so anxious to ask for help was because she received a notice from community staff saying that three cats in her home had tested positive for nucleic acid!
Because there are no related pet treatment cases at the workstation, the kittens are being arranged for euthanasia.
This news was a huge blow to Ms. Liu. Although her condition was slowly recovering, she almost collapsed when she thought about what the cats would encounter next.
Ms. Liu communicated with community staff, hoping to give the cats a chance to live, but she also knew that her call for help was insignificant.
That’s why she appealed to netizens on the Internet, hoping that everyone would speak up for their cats and give them a chance to live.
This is the only way Ms. Liu can save the cat's life, but unfortunately the ending is painful.
On the afternoon of the 28th, community staff informed Ms. Liu that the cats had been euthanized.
This is a very sad result, but the facts have already happened. In the end, Ms. Liu could only pretend to be relieved and silently bear the pain of losing her beloved cat.
Since it was revealed that the three cats with nucleic acid positive results were euthanized, it has aroused widespread heated discussion on the Internet.
Many cat lovers believe that the staff’s treatment of cats lacks humaneness. Maybe there are better ways to deal with cats!
Some people think that the life span of cats is not worth mentioning in the face of the fight against the epidemic. Some people even criticized Ms. Liu for calling for cat rescue and disrupting public opinion.
Regarding the different opinions of netizens, Mengmao believes that they all have certain truths. Whether it is to take the overall situation into consideration or to be kind to life, there is nothing wrong with it.
But what we cannot deny is that the ending of the matter is sad. Only those of us who keep cats can understand that this is an event full of tragedy.
Faced with such an ending, it is difficult for us to turn a blind eye and pretend that nothing happened.
If it can be saved, of course we will all hope even more that the cats can survive without affecting epidemic control.
In the final analysis, the problem still lies in the asymmetry between human and cat lives.
So whenever faced with this special choice, most people will not take the cat's life into consideration at all.
Although this euthanasia incident of "positive cats" will make many cat owners feel very uncomfortable.
But Mengmao hopes that all shit scrapers can realize that this is a fact that we have no way to change in a short period of time.
In order to avoid the recurrence of tragedies as much as possible, officials must learn to protect themselves during this "war epidemic".
Only escaping the virus yourself is the most reliable protection for cats...
