Now is the 21st century. After the reform and opening up, many old ideas have been eliminated, so to a certain extent, people have been liberated to a certain extent. But this does not mean that animals no longer suffer persecution from some outdated ideas.

Just like the native dogs in rural areas, their status is very low. Let’s take a look at the short story shared by a netizen below. Have you heard of this statement?

When a netizen passed by the door of a villager's house that day, he saw three little local dogs eating around an iron basin from a distance. The original happy scene was ruined by their bare tails. It was a cold day, but their tails had no hair at all.

Passers-by also looked at the animals with question marks, and couldn’t help but wonder why their tails were all bald. After asking the owner the reason, he said he couldn't understand and didn't want to talk anymore: Old ideas are really harmful.

It turned out that their owner wanted to cut off their tails because there was a saying in the countryside that dogs with long tails would bite chickens. As long as their tails are cut off, they will only watch the chickens but not bite them. The role of a dog is to look after the home and the yard, so the owner thinks there is no problem in cutting off the tail.

Hey, veterinarian Xiao Ming originally thought that ancient foot-binding was already very cruel, and women had endured the destruction for so long. Unexpectedly, reform and opening up only saved people, but did not solve some superstitions on animals. It is really cruel.

In fact, there are still some relatively feudal and superstitious views. Veterinarian Xiao Ming wants to say that it is the 21st century, why are some people so stubborn and stubborn? The key is that some people's old ideas not only affect themselves, but even affect the lives of others. As the saying goes, they harm others and themselves.

Veterinarian Xiao Ming feels that it is ridiculous to place all his hopes on some gods. Shouldn't he make the decision on his own life? It's okay to have some religious beliefs, but you must be rational. Being too superstitious is not a good thing.

Popular science by veterinarian Xiao Ming: Small local dogs in rural areas have never been popular with people. In fact, they have many advantages. In terms of loyalty, they are not inferior to some foreign breeds of dogs, and their physical fitness is quite good. Under normal circumstances, they will not get sick and can even heal themselves, which saves their owners a lot of money to a certain extent.

Some people think that local dogs are worthless, and they will not spend money to deworm and vaccinate them. In fact, providing some vaccines for dogs is not only helpful for dogs, but also for people. If you want to extend the life of your dog, you should feed them less human food.
