As
you know we love and adore little dogs. That’s why they have become our
Ambassadors for my Lily4Refugees project. Right now we are working on brand new
and exciting stories, again with inspirational and educational messages about
the importance of integration and education for young and young at heart
readers. Cute dog characters in beautiful places surrounded by lovely humans with
emotional life stories are in progress.
Last
week, on a lovely and sunny day, my mum and I went out to get new summer
flowers for our balcony, or as we call it our own little paradise. Next to the
garden center is a huge pet store with a wide range of products especially for
cats and dogs. It is like heaven for tiny, little, and bigger animals. The variety of items is beyond your imagination. Starting
from delicious food, snacks, toys, clothing, dog holders, accessories, and
fancy bags to cozy beds and sofas. You can’t imagine it, if you haven’t seen
it. So we have taken a few pictures to share with it our blog visitors.
I could write a whole blog post just about the food and snack
variety for cats and dogs. Did you know that dog foods are produced with
chicken, beef, lamb, ostrich, horse, rabbits or deer meat? You find all kinds
of meat except pork and there is a good reason for that. Eating raw or
undercooked pork is not safe for dogs or
humans, due to the parasite trichinella spiralis larvae, which can cause the
parasite infection known as trichinosis. Raw pork can also contain other
bacteria such as salmonella or trichinae. And then people make jokes about Muslims
and Jew's rules and believes! But that’s another story for another blog post.
Anyway, while we are excited and impressed by all the love
and care that humans have for animals, we are sad, shocked, and heartbroken for
the forgotten children. The ones stuck in refugee camps and refugee shelters, which
have absolutely nothing. No fancy clothing, no delicious food and snacks, and
tragically not even a cozy and comfortable bed to rest.
So we ask ourselves, what is wrong with us humans? How come
we care to create products for animals but we don’t care to give the same
amount of attention, love and support to little human beings? The answer is
simple. Money! Like always. The companies that produce all these products for
animals have one main goal: Money! Companies don’t benefit from producing
products especially for refugees and their children. That’s the tragic reality.
Money is always the main motivation for humans.
I wish the human's mind and motivation would change. I wish more
people would care about other people. More companies and humans would start to
give the same love and support to humans as they give to animals. Trust me;
this would be a massive change maker for the entire world. Caring and sharing
without expectation and false and selfish motivation. Honestly, I have lost all
my faith in humanity and kindness. I know it is just wishful and naive
thinking, but I keep wishing… I wish that children would get the same love and
attention as animals. I wish refugees would get the same amount of caring and kindness
as cats and dogs! I wish humans would start to care for other humans
regardless of race, nationality, skin color, gender, and life story.
I keep wishing, I keep dreaming, I keep hoping!
