Recently, there have been several incidents of abuse of stray dogs by security guards on the Internet, which have provoked public outrage and condemnation. One of these incidents, which occurred in a school canteen in Fujian Springs, was of wide concern. According to witnesses, a security guard who used the Internet to trap a stray dog, fell in cold blood on the ground and the dog shouted in pain, causing the students present to feel ill. The school response stated that the stray dog had repeatedly pursued teachers and students on the campus and that the security forces had acted in an extreme manner to ensure their safety.
Another incident in a university in a new village is even more alarming. A staff member fell a stray dog from the third floor, resulting in its immediate death. The school explained that he had acted with such excesses because of previous evictions. The staff member had serious consequences and was dismissed from school.
These cold-blooded and brutal acts deeply touch people and are even more difficult to understand for innocent pupils. As a warm place, the apathy and violence of staff members are deeply distressing. What should we see in such a situation?
Security and staff are important components of schools and their behaviour not only affects the image of schools, but also is an important part of life education for students. Therefore, schools should strengthen the training and management of these personnel to make them aware of the importance of respecting life, caring for animals and avoiding similar incidents.
The university released the river to save the water.
However, there is also some hope in these incidents of animal abuse. In recent days, Sichuan Education Online has reported a warm event, taking place at the University of Southwest Technology in Smingyang.
On 9 November, a dog accidentally fell into a water hole in the school ' s river and could not save itself. When a student was found, he immediately sought help from the security guards. The security forces, however, had been unable to rescue the dogs for a long time, and they had circulated information on the grounds, attracting support from many teachers and students. People tried to lure dogs out of the hole with food, but it did not work. The school teacher even rented a raft for rescue, but was unable to reach the water hole. Faced with the difficulties, they had to contact the sewage treatment plant, release some of the water from the school river and eventually rescue the dog and send it to the stray dog rescue station.
The rescue mission was a full demonstration of the selfless dedication of the same enemies as students, teachers and security guards. To save a puppy, they do their best and their resources, demonstrating respect for and the value of life. Such examples are a reminder of the warmth and beauty of humanity and of the need to act when facing similar situations.
Respect for life and building a civilized society
As part of society, the attitude and actions of higher education institutions towards stray dogs have an important impact on the image of civilization and life attitude of society as a whole. The abuse of stray dogs by the security forces is a wake-up call, and it is an important task for a school to develop the right life stance and civilized attitude of students.
First, schools should strengthen the life education of teachers and students so that they understand that human beings, like animals, exist in life and deserve to be respected and valued. Through classroom education and the building of school culture, students are made aware of the value and significance of life and develop their respect and concern for life.
Secondly, the school needs to strengthen staff training and management. Staff members represent the image of the school and their behaviour not only affects the school atmosphere but also has far-reaching implications for students. Schools should establish rules and regulations that clarify attitudes and responsibilities towards animals, strengthen education and supervision of staff and avoid the recurrence of similar abuses.
Finally, all sectors of society should also work together to build a civilized society that respects life. Governments should strengthen the development and implementation of laws and policies for animal protection, increase penalties for animal abusers and create a deterrent to the law. At the same time, the media and the general public must increase their awareness of the protection of animals in order to draw attention to their well-being and to create a favourable social climate.
In short, educating people to be right about life and respecting animals is a difficult and important task. The abuse of animals is an expression of the degree of civilization that can build a warm and civilized society only if we all work together with respect for life as our starting point. In future education, it is hoped that education on the value of life will be strengthened, that every school will be a warm harbour, that everyone will be filled with love and care and that every life will be protected and respected in practice.
