Ignorance Kills (Part 1) 无知的杀害(第1部)

Went to watch the animation 'How to Train Your Dragon' on Good Friday. The movie is about the Vikings who had been killing the dragons for centuries as they wrecked their villages and robbed their livestocks.

Hicups (the male lead) trying to proof himself to be a true Viking injured a dragon during one of their night raids. However, instead of killing the dragaon at its most vunerable stage, he rescued and nurse it back to health. A friendship bloomed between them and it was during this time that Hicups realised that the Vikings had misunderstood the dragons all these times.

The dragons thought to be ferocious and vivacious by the Vikings were actually controlled by a monstrous and gigantic dragon who will eat them if they failed to supply it with sufficient food. Hence, the dragons resorted to robbing the livestocks of the Vikings. When the Vikings finally found out the truth, they were able to live harmoniously with the dragons thereafter.

This movie really struck a cord in me as the plight of these dragons is like a reflection of the stray/community cats in our Little Red Dots. About 10,000 of these cats are killed in AVA every year simply because of our intolerance and ignorance. They were being killed for just being labelled a nuisance, carriers of diseases such as toxoplasmosis, for scratching cars, for peeing and defecating in the void decks etc. If people could bother to spend a bit more time to understand these cats, they would realise that their believes all these times are not exactly true.

在耶稣受难日的假日看了动画片'如何训练你的飞龙'。这部动画片是关于维京人因数百年来造受飞龙的迫害而杀害它们。

至到小嗝嗝(男主角)为了证明自己是一个真正的维京人,在一次的夜间袭击中打伤了一只飞龙。在飞龙最脆弱的时候,小嗝嗝不但没有杀害它还帮它疗伤。他们俩因此成为好朋友而小嗝嗝也开始明白维京人一直以来对飞龙的误解与伤害。

维京人误以为凶猛的飞龙其实是受一只巨大和凶残的飞龙控制着。如果那些飞龙没有足够的食物供奉它就会被它吃掉,这些飞龙只好掠夺维京人的家畜来供奉它。当维京人知道真相后就从此和飞龙们过着和平共处的生活。

这部动画片深深的感动了我,因为我觉得哪些飞龙的遭遇象极了我们小红点的流浪猫和社区猫的遭遇。农粮局每一年大概处死1万只流浪猫和社区猫。他们大多是因为我们人类对他们的无知与误解而被害死的。他们是因为被我们人类认为是害虫、弓形虫病菌带着、刮花车子、在租屋底层随处大小便的指控而被处死的。如果有多一些人愿意花一点时间来了解他们的习性就会发现我们对他们的指控都是错误的。
