Sunday, 4 May 2025At the beginning of the term, we had experienced several disruptions due to storms and heavy rainfall. While students may rejoice in having an extra day off at that moment, it is important to recognize that stray animals endure hardships during these times.
During storms, stray animals suffer a lot because they are exposed to harsh weather conditions, lacking access to sufficient food and clean water, without a safe place to stay in. Their lives become even more challenging than usual. This is where empathy plays a crucial role. If we cultivate empathy, we will become more aware of the difficulties faced by stray animals and would have been motivated to take action.
As students, it is within our power to demonstrate empathy through actions. We can volunteer at local animal shelters to help taking care of stray animals, such as walking dogs, cleaning kennels, or providing them with necessities like food and water. Additionally, we can raise awareness and educate others about the issue by sharing information through social media.
Lastly, for those considering getting a pet, adopting stray animal can be a great choice. By offering them a loving and safe home, we are providing them opportunities of starting new lives with the happiness and caring that they deserve.
Let us rally together with empathy and make a difference for stray animals. Even small changes can bring about a significant impact on these vulnerable lives.
