#4- a reading response on a social issue

I think that people need to start focusing on more important social issues, it is hard to focus on one, but to me, stray cats/abuse of stray cats, is a social issue to me, I think that there is too much of this going on, and many people do not seem to care, But it is something to care about, and it is important in the human world. I believe that there should be something done about stray cats.

If you compare a cat to a human being, there is a lot in common. Cats need food and water in order to survive, they breath, they have eyes, ears and a mouth, they exercise, they get sick, they die, they get hurt, they have feet, they can talk, they can hear, they can do many things just like us, but they don’t get treated like us. There are a lot of homeless people in the world, they should come first, but also people should also respect the stray cats in the world, if it can’t get a home, it doesn’t deserve to be born with no eyes or legs or something like that. Most of them die on the street out of food starvation or dehydration, or getting hit by a car and dying.

It isn’t rare to see a dead cat on the end of the curb, it happens a lot, and I also witnessed a cat getting hit by 3 cars, and not one car stopped to see what damage they have done. Cats walk round mutant, missing a family or in desperate need of something, when cats die on the street, they are kicked aside, or left there until everything is gone. Cats don’t get the respect they deserve.

A lot of animal “support” companies advertise pictures of sad, homeless animals, some even edit the pictures to make it look more serious, but those animal companies just take advantage of the animals to earn money for their own company. A lot of people get fooled and donate money to cooperation’s like those, but there some animal rescue teams like “ASPCA” who try hard and try to do as much as they can to help animals in need.

Even if people can’t give cats a loving home due to all the problems in the earth, but I think that cats should be more respected, and they should be able to live a little bit like humans are in the earth.
