This being my first post, I would like to start saying that my community service opportunity is really different than what others may be doing. My first 10 hours I’ll be focusing on animals which are left behind by others and they are trying to be relocated someplace else. By going to the humane society (which link will be shown at the end of my post) I thought about L’Arche and Vanier, how people are marginalized because the way they are. That is one thing that we need to improve as a community.
On My first day I didn’t do whole a lot. Basically was just learning how the program works, but also in addition to this I learn a lot. I could not believe on what people are capable of doing with animals; the actions that they take just because they just wanted too. I mean, do people think about the actions that they take that it will be for their own benefit but without affecting others life? I bet that after you listen to this story you will think that most of them DON’T just the same way that I did.
There was a family that had a dog for 8 years and after the dog grew up and the color of his hair changed, the family decided to get rid off the dog. This was just because the color of the dog didn’t match the color of the furniture any more.
If a human did this with an animal that own it for 8 yrs., how capable is doing it to a person which it is limited to do certain things. Starting right there, I think that we need to change and make a difference as a community.
