Day 36Last trip to Lao Shu Jie
As I couldn’t manage to get to see everything there during the previous shopping trip, I decided to go there again. Together with Yoke May, Rebecca and Gloria, we scanned through every corners of the Mouse Street, in and out, up and down. I bought shoes for my sister! Since there are only few days left, I allowed myself to enjoy the hawker foods there. Yummy, yummy.
Last but not least, thank you guys for allowing me to join you all for shopping. Thank you guys for teaching me on how to bargain. I really had fun with you all. Thanks a lot!
Reflection
As we walked along the streets in the night, we saw a lot of night stalls selling the meat of the rabbit, or even dog meat! I wonder how these animals are being treated behind the shop front…
And down the street again, we saw some people selling little puppies. Gloria even said that the puppies were so small that she believed that these puppies were newly born and had not stayed long by their mother’s side. Honestly, these puppies are so cute, even kids do want them as their pet. But think again. Would the kids really take care of these puppies until it dies? What happens if these people lost their likings towards these puppies when it becomes a dog? Will they be captured and slaughtered for dog meats?
After much thinking, I am glad that Singapore has a law concerning animal rights. If I am not wrong, Singapore does not allow pet shop owners to sell animals like puppies at a very young age, unlike what the owners of the night stalls in China did. Also, owning dogs need certificates and licenses. Without them, offenders are to be fined. Even though these things are making it difficult for the shop owners to make more money, it is a good way to stop people from selling, buying and throwing away animals as and when they like.
