Hello, I am Sharon
What I thought about animals back then were that they were really cute and kind of fun to mess with when you're bored. They like to play around with you even though they don’t understand what you want from them. I have learned that the shelter actually keeps animals for more than 2 weeks in the shelter and they don’t put animals to sleep anymore. I also learned how hard a stray animals lives are, when we usually see the stray animals we think about how cute they are but never thought about their live and how they survive day by day. It's like a game to try to stay alive. I have grown to have more respect for animals in general. A lot of the stories of the stray dogs in the shelter really hit me and that I should have more respect because we don’t know what they are going through or what they are thinking. I have also learned that some animals that are mean to other animals have their own reasons and their own past and that we should also respect that. I should do that with people too, not just animals!
從以前我就覺得動物都很可愛。當我無聊時，牠們還可以陪我玩耍。 即便牠們不知道你想要的是什麼，牠們依然會很開心地陪你玩。我學到現在的動物收容並不會在收容動物兩周後，就將動物安樂死，而是會試著繼續照顧牠們。我也學到流浪動物的生命真的很艱苦。當我們平常看到流浪動物時，我們只會覺得牠們很可愛，但卻從來沒有想過牠們過著什麼樣的生活。對牠們來說，生活很像一場生存遊戲。每天需要找食物、水、以及睡覺的地方。只要找不到這些，牠們就GAME OVER了! 當我在收容所做義工時，我發現每一隻狗狗都有自己的故事，而我在聽過這些故事後，我覺得自己應該對動物的生命更加地尊重，因為我們無法體會流浪動物的生活，也無法理解牠們在想什麼。我也有發現某些動物對別的動物會特別地兇，都是因為他們過去的經歷，而我們應該也對此也保持尊重的態度。當然，這樣的尊重，不應只對動物，在與人相處時也很重要。
