澳門自來水公司專題 Macao Water special

頑強的錦鯉 The Mighty Koi 你有沒有想過錦鯉會以龍魚著稱？澳門自來水公司忠誠的員工有一個大膽而久負盛名的傳統,像他們所服務的公司一樣。

Have you ever wondered about the koi fish that became known as the dragon fish? Macao Water’s loyal employees have a bold and prestigious legacy, much like the company they serve.

有歷史記載的很多很多年前，一群數目成千上萬的錦鯉在黃河游弋。牠們強大的身軀在陽光下閃閃發光，看起來像成千上萬閃閃發光的寶石。一切都進行得很順利，直到牠們到達一個瀑布，錦鯉在那裡感到氣餒而折返，牠們發現順流而下容易得多。然而，360條意志堅定的錦鯉決定逆流而上。

因為對大自然和水關係的重要性有深刻認識，澳門自來水的主題顏色是藍色和綠色，表示關注和尊重自然。澳門自來水非常重視飲用水質量，定期進行水質檢查，並將水資源和環境作為一個整體進行保護。

未

每條錦鯉用盡全力跳，努力跳到瀑布的頂部。牠們一次又一次將自己甩到空中但都被丟回水中。水花的飛濺聲引起當地惡魔的注意，惡魔嘲笑錦鯉的艱苦努力。惡魔殘暴地增加了瀑布高度，從而增加了錦鯉的痛苦。但錦鯉沒有放棄，也沒有被嚇倒，一百年來牠們一直努力試圖到達瀑布頂端。最後，一條錦鯉以英雄式的一跳終於成功。神微笑著將這條疲憊的錦鯉變成一條閃亮的金色巨龍。

澳門自來水的運營和使命背後的另一個驅動力，是對澳門居民健康和幸福的關注。本著積極回饋社會的精神，澳門自來水2001年起推出了“長者用水優惠” 補貼計劃予年滿55歲的受益者，得到社會各界的認同。然後在2005年，澳門自來水推出“點滴獻關懷”用水優惠計劃予每月領取社會工作局援助金或補助之有需要人士或家庭類別，當中包括領取單親援助金、護理補助及殘疾補助之人士。

因為他們的耐力和毅力，錦鯉已經成為克服困境和實現個人夢想的象徵。而游動的錦鯉成為世間願望和進步的象徵。

澳門自來水公司董事總經理張展翔說：“供優質食水，創優質生活”是澳門自來水股份有限公司一直堅持的服務承諾。

澳門自來水紮根澳門多年，通過一支高素質有承諾的員工隊伍，一直努力不懈確保供應優質飲用水，同時保持保護環境和社會責任的意識，並通過持續及有成本效益的方式改善客戶服務。

負責著地球上最有價值的商品，敬業的澳門自來水工作人員和錦鯉監督所有水的淨化和處理步驟，這些水流入澳門千家萬戶，讓大家只要轉一轉水龍頭就可以享受這生命中最珍貴的禮品。

swam up the Yellow River. The colours of their strong bodies glistened in the sun, making them appear like thousands of glistening

jewels. All was going well until they reached a

waterfall, where a large number of them grew

discouraged and turned back, finding it much easier to simply go with the flow of the river.

Yet, a determined group of 360 koi pressed on. Straining and leaping, each koi strove to reach

the top of the falls. Again and again they flung

their bodies into the air only to be thrown back into the water. All the splashing noise drew the attention of the local demons who laughed at

the efforts of the struggling koi. Adding to their misery, the demons sadistically increased the

height of the falls. Still the koi refused give up. Undeterred,for one hundred years they kept

trying to reach the top of the falls. At last, with

one heroic leap, a single koi made it. The God’s smiled down in approval and transformed the exhausted koi into a shining golden dragon. He joyfully spends his days chasing pearls

the strength and courage to leap up the falls, he or she too becomes a heavenly dragon.

傑克羅素梗被毛類型呈現多種顏色— —白色（必須超過51％）、棕色、棕褐色和黑色加上一些班點，牠們紮實、不屈不撓和頑強，身體結構緊湊，身型細少有爆炸力，配合比例適中的腿。傑克羅素梗（JRT）是一種無畏和頑強的工作犬，意味著如果你不讓他們保持興奮和活躍，牠們會自娛，那時你的家居可能會有損壞！這些狗需要在早上和黃昏與你跑步或者輕快地走，除非在一個有圍欄的地方，否則不應該解除牠們的狗帶。最好有一個院子可讓牠奔跑、狩獵、玩耍以保持牠的本能。傑克羅素梗非常聰明，亦很容易訓練，這可從牠們過去二十年間在幾套好萊塢電影和電視節目的名氣得到證明。對這些任性的狗你必須掌握主導權，從而建立你的群體領導地位，不要讓你的傑克羅素梗患上“小狗綜合症”。人類誘發的行為問題會導致狗以為自己是人類的群體領導，而變得喜歡亂叫、活躍、嫉妒、自我保護、對陌生人警惕，不能成為孩子的好夥伴。堅持你的領導地位，傑克羅素梗就會是一隻快樂、服從、友好的狗，牠們親切並會善待兒童及其他人。

一隻出名的傑克羅素梗叫 Uggie，你可能在2011年奧斯卡獲獎影片《星光夢裏人》見過牠。繼這次表演之後，有人發起“考慮Uggie”活動，企圖讓狗隻獲得奧斯卡獎提名。

This little compact dog has come a long way from its grim history of fox and small

game hunting. While originally bred in England in the mid 1800’s specifically to hunt

quarry out of their dens and named after Reverend John Russell, who spearheaded the

breeding program, today he is a cheerful, happy and loving companion for a pet owner. Appearing in a variety of white (must be over 51% white), brown, tan and black coat types with a range of markings, they are sturdy, tough and tenacious with their body seeming compact and balanced with proportionately sized legs to

their small powerful bodies. The Jack Russell Terrier (JRT) is a fearless and tenacious working dog, meaning if you don’t keep them stimulated and active, they will find their own amusement, sometimes to the detriment of your home!

These dogs need to run or walk briskly with you in the mornings and again in the evenings but should not be let off their leash unless in an enclosed area. He is best with a yard where he can run, hunt and play in keeping with his instincts. JRT’s are highly intelligent and very easily trained as evident from their recent fame in the last two decades in several Hollywood movie and TV shows. But your authority must be dominated on these willful dogs in order to establish

yourself as pack leader so that your JRT does not get ‘small dog syndrome’. A

human induced behavioural problem may result in the dog believing he is the

human’s pack leader, which becoming yappy, snappy, jealous, protective, wary

of strangers and not the greatest of child companions. But assert your leadership and the JRT is a merry, obedient dog, friendly and kind to children and others.

One famous Jack Russell Terrier is Uggie, you may have seen him in the academy award winning film The Artist in 2011. Following this performance, the “Consider Uggie” campaign was launched, in an attempt to gain a dog a nomination for an Academy Award.

狗的故事

Dog Tale

hibani Talashilkar正低頭看著安祥地睡在她腳邊的大黑狗，笑著說：“我不知道這件事是怎麼發生的。”她和丈夫Garry Febey心目中想領養一隻“小至中型的狗”作寵物，這隻被談論的狗則跟目標全然不同。

該位建築師決定在Anima當義工，與那裡的狗相處，這樣除幫忙外也可以找到一隻合適的狗帶回家。Shibani會在下午為狗隻梳洗和打理一般雜務，從第一個欄開始用她的方式幹下去，她總是把一隻特別的狗留到最後，因為牠“最安靜”。而這時剛好是Ga r r y在每天結束前來接她的時候，那他們便可與這隻狗一起相處，後來這隻狗成為他們家庭的一份子。看著他們三個在一起，很清楚看到領養Jumpy對他們來說是一個很自然的決定。但很多人可能會對這個有點不尋常的選擇感到驚訝，因為Jumpy不是普通的狗。這隻全黑的短毛德國牧羊大狗只有三條腿。在建築業擔任高級項目經理的Garry解釋說，Jumpy的年齡可能是三歲半，人們在在氹仔的一個工地發現牠時其前腿嚴重破損。直到今天沒有人確切知道當時發生了什麼事，只知牠患嚴重感染或壞疽，若沒有氹仔的一名獸醫進行截肢，Jumpy早就死了。諷刺的是正因為Jumpy失去一條腿，最終可與這對夫婦在一起——Garry和Shibani知道要撫養一隻大狗，也僅可以養Jumpy，因為牠的精力不如其他同樣大小四條腿的狗。住在一個寬敞的公寓裏，每天帶牠三次散步符合他們各方的要求。這對夫婦深信Jumpy過去曾經是人家的寵物，牠本能地 Pets & Hugs • March 2014

知道如何進出升降機，牠訓練有素，顯示過往在某程度上曾受到照顧和關心。他們推測 Jumpy成為了“狗時尚”的犧牲品——牠的前主人很喜歡牠小時候的模樣，但之後牠長得太大，或某類品種只在某個時間時髦但很快過時 — — 這是一種世界各地都在發生的不幸事情。現在J u m py 重42公斤，帶有黑色光澤皮毛和搖擺的尾巴，很難想像牠不是一隻倍受寵愛的狗。每天兩個正餐加上 S h i b a n i 早上上班前的一些小吃，通常是沒煮熟的雞翅膀（未煮的骨較容易消化）或其他“濃味”的東西，如小魚幹，這些食物都令牠保持最佳狀態。據牠的主人和獸醫說，這

些小吃對牠無傷大雅。街上的人對Jumpy有何反應？他得到的反應各異。 “我想很多人都沒想到會見到一隻三條腿的狗，”Garry說，“我認為他們被逗樂了。”他進一步解釋說：“你見到少女們又跑又尖叫，而老太太們則想拍拍牠。” Jumpy特別關注老婦與小狗，因為她們會暫時把自己的小狗放在一旁，而從手袋裏拿出小吃給這隻龐大、威武但極友善的狗。 Shibani笑說：“每當牠看到那些老太太們，牠就會追逐她們”。 Jumpy對牠所有鍾情的東西有其獨特的怪癖，牠簡直是一個貪婪的讀者。 Shibani最喜歡閱讀最新文學作品，但她從

來沒法讀到結尾。 “我不知道一直在閱讀故事的結局，我花了數週追看一個故事，然而永遠不知道最後的結局。”原來Jumpy有嚼書最後數頁的習慣，只是最後數頁，就這樣 Shibani錯過了故事的結局。解決J u m py用力咀嚼書本的減壓和放鬆方法，包括看電視，特別是看狗節目令牠有幻想。雖然在早期生活中飽受磨難，但J u m py 從來沒有失去對正確和錯誤的認識，也沒有失去牠的善良。牠平靜的舉止表示牠不但對其他狗友好，而且也令牠善於化解糾紛。“牠擅長化解爭執，只要牠踏進去便可整治那些搗蛋鬼，”Sh i ba n i 望著坐在她身邊的狗得意洋洋地說。 15

many stories about dogs there

We all have busy lives – work, and friends... oh, and feeding

the cat and taking the dog out. That all seems manageable, but can you imagine a life with not just one or two, but 29 rescued dogs?

For Janny, it's about getting up

一切緣於史納莎

我們都過著非常忙碌的生活— —工作、家務、花時間與家人和朋友相處......哦，還有餵貓和遛狗。這一切似乎都可以應付，但你能想像這樣的生活——面對的不是一隻或兩隻，而是29只獲救的狗嗎？對Janny來說，她的生活是這樣的：每隔一天的上午5點30 分起床，餵養她家裡的九隻狗，如果有足夠時間就帶他們出去遛遛；然後，上午07點30 分，她前往一棟工業大廈，餵養她的其他20隻狗，並在上午 8點30分她去上班之前清潔牠們的住所。在辦公室忙碌一天后，下午6點左右Janny直接前去與她的20 隻狗玩耍，並做一些清潔和餵食工作；之後她回家照看她的9 條狗，晚上10點才睡覺。很難想像她是怎麼做到，更難想像她是如何成為這樣一位狗狗關愛者的，因為她以前從來沒有過想要一隻狗作為寵物的念頭。直到2005年，事情起了變化。一切緣於一隻叫Bobbie的史納莎，牠成為Janny拯救的第一隻狗。Janny的一個朋友準備永遠離開澳門，如果沒有人可以給Bobbie一個家的話，政府的狗房將是他的選擇。 “ 我聽過太多關於那裡的狗故事— —如果這些狗沒有找到主人，他們就不得不被人道毀 Pets & Hugs • March 2014

滅。我簡直受不了這種想法。” 親密關係

在與 B o b b i e建立親密關係後，Janny完全不能對她發現的一隻被人遺棄、躺在路邊的芝娃娃狗視而不見。不久，獲救狗的數量達到了10 只，所以在2007年Janny和她的兩個朋友決定為這些狗建立一個“家” ，飼養和獸醫費用全部由他們自掏腰包支付。一年後，“狗屋”不幸被一場席捲澳門的颱風摧毀。令這些狗再次無家可歸可不是一種選擇，所以Janny的一個朋友為他們提供了一座工業大廈內一個空置單位，讓他們可以用該單位作為這些狗的新家。現在一共有 2 0 隻狗生活在那裡。這個快樂犬舍包括兩隻哈士奇狗 — — Po s te r和 Monster——他們是在很小的時候被Janny從街上撿到的；一隻被稱為Oscar的金毛尋回犬——他患有眼癌、免疫系統弱，需要每天用藥；還有一隻史納莎狗名叫Sai b（細B或小 B），他胸口有一個腫瘤——雖然有病纏身，但他們似乎都在那裡過著快樂的生活。一隻叫Hac Mui （黑妹）的混種狗，甚至自己醫好了她破碎的脊柱— —獸醫曾因風險太大拒絕為她做手術。“她有一種強烈的生存意念。”或許是 Hac Mui人類朋友的愛與關懷給了她恢復的力量。

imagine how she became to be such a dog lover, given that it

never crossed her mind that she would ever want one as a pet. Not until 2005, that is. It all

started with Bobbie, a Schnauzer, the first dog Janny saved.

Janny’s friend was leaving Macau for good and the government’s

dog kennel was the only option

reached ten, and so in 2007 Janny to set up a ‘home’ for the dogs, with feeding and vet fees all

paid out of their own pockets. The ‘dog house’ was unfortunately destroyed when a typhoon

swept across the city a year later. Letting the dogs go homeless

again was not an option, so one

of Janny’s friends offered them a

vacant factory unit in an industrial building, which they could use as a home for their dogs.

Today a total of twenty dogs

live there. The happy household

includes, for example, two huskies – Poster and Monster – that Janny found on the street when they

were puppies, a Golden Retriever

called Oscar, who suffers from eye cancer and has a weak immune

system requiring daily medication, and a Schnauzer called Sai b (細 b, or Small b) who has a tumour in his chest – yet, despite their

various health conditions, they all seem to live there happily.

A Mongrel called Hac Mui (黑妹, or Black Girl) even managed to heal her broken spine by herself after

the vet refused to operate on her because it was too risky. “She has a strong will to live.” Perhaps it's the love and care that Hac Mui

felt from her human friends that

gave her the strength to recover.

貓的品種

Cat Breed

國飼養員Judy Sugden首先將一隻國內短毛與一隻大骨架孟加拉貓配種，後來再與一隻從印度克什米爾街頭引進的貓混合。由此繁殖出一個像微型老虎的品種：強壯、肌肉發達、身軀修長，生動橙色底毛上配以深色粗條直班紋，白色腹部，全身遍佈金黃色‘閃光’。在世界一些地方，人們建議玩具虎貓主人把貓留在家裡，因為牠們那閃閃金光的皮毛非常吸引盜賊。獨特的圓頭也是玩具虎貓獨有的特徵，其他家貓沒有。

美

玩具虎貓是最聰明的貓種之一，可以受訓去取物件及用貓帶輕鬆地牽著走。因為牠們的智力高，喜歡受智力測試、遊戲、以及被任何令牠們感興趣的東西所激發。牠們非常喜歡互動及合群，愛與人和其他寵物一起，由於牠們悠閒的個性，可以融入任何家庭。有這隻友善外向的貓在你家是一種真正的喜悅，也許會讓你覺得好像能馴服野生動物一樣。

永恆的寵物與鑽石 Pets and Diamonds are Forever

引言：幫朋友照顧寵物令一對夫婦上到度身定做的動物護理課程。這個經驗證明非常成功，他們決定作出一個更長遠的安排——自己領養一些寵物。們一直想擁有寵物。幾年前當我們搬到意大利時，我們的訓練計劃由自願在晚上和短假期中照顧寵物開始。我們的朋友都非常高興，我們則充分利用這個度身定做的學習過程，當然還包括時不時收到一些不錯的禮物。此外，在某種程度上我們了解貓狗之後，使得我們非常難以拿定主意——我們究竟想把哪種動物帶回我們自己的家庭。

日是一年中的特殊日子，並且是一個讓自己得到渴望已久的特別東西的好時機......對於14歲的學生Duarte Janela來說，這意味著一對蜥蜴。準確地說是鬃獅蜥。

生

Duarte起初去寵物俱樂部（一家專門自己繁殖動物的商店）是為了購買一條紅、黑、白三色的牛奶蛇，但每次他光顧該店時，那些蜥蜴引起了他的注意。所以，當他的生日來臨時，他毫不猶豫地為自己買了一對。在寒冷的一天，我們在採訪中結識了D ua r te的寵物。他用鞋盒帶來他的生日禮物 — — Badocha 和Sa Pinto（以前足球運動員的名字命名）給我們拍攝。安全到達到達溫暖的現場後，他除去盒蓋，露出兩隻爬行動物，舒服地裹在毯子裡，摟著對方，可愛及溫順。鬃獅蜥有鬍鬚，腦袋呈三角形，有一行一行類似荊棘的尖錐,看起來與牠們甜美個性相反。在牠們頭的下面是一行一

行的鱗刺，膨脹起來時像一把大鬍子。牠們強大、扁平的身體有一排尖錐長在腹部兩側，而牠們的尾巴通常是牠們身體長度的一半。不像其他蜥蜴，牠們的尾巴會在受到威脅時脫落和再生。

真的很喜歡，但其他時候“他們只是嘗試逃跑”。除了保持蜥蜴乾淨，Duarte保持雙手清潔也同樣重要，因為鬃獅蜥可攜帶沙門氏菌，所以在觸摸過牠們後經常清洗雙手非常重要。

Duar te將Badocha和Sa Pinto（相信一隻是雄性，一隻是雌性）放在一個水族箱裡，裡面用兩支紫外線燈照著地毯保持熱量。由於這個品種原產於澳大利亞乾旱、多岩石地區，如所有爬行動物一樣，適當的溫度對牠們非常重要。溫度的變化應該從未照射區域的26-30℃至照射區域的約 35 -40℃。在得到適當的照顧下，鬃獅蜥的預期壽命為十年左右，然而也有更長壽命的紀錄。

牠們的飲食包括從商店購買的“超級蠕蟲”，然後加上粉狀的鈣以增加額外營養。在飲食習慣上，牠們是溫柔的食客，不會猛撲過來及過於激進，但為多些樂趣，偶爾 Duarte會在牠們面前搖動蠕蟲。蔬菜如番茄、生菜和胡蘿蔔配上蠕蟲提供了所有需要的營養，牠們通過食物吸取大部分所需水份。

保持牠們的居所清潔非常重要，需要每兩天清理牠們的居所。牠們每週沐浴一次，D ua r te在浴缸裡放些溫水，讓牠們洗澡。有時候牠們

作為爬行動物主人的Duarte，有甚麼激動人心的原因令他飼養這樣的動物？“我覺得每天回家看見這些爬行動物非常有趣，因為牠們太迷人了。” Duarte有时拿着牠們，有时只是看著牠們。當Duarte在看着電腦時，他讓牠們自由漫步，

牠們爬到他的身體上、頭上，爬到牠們喜欢的任何地方，整個房間都是牠們的樂土。有沒有一種把玩牠們的正確方式？很重要的是要從肚皮下把牠們拿起來，並用你的手掌支持牠們的肚子，手指蜷曲輕輕放在牠們身上。除了蛇外，D u a r te還有兩隻狗，所以食肉動物從來都離 Badocha和Sa Pinto不遠，但他不斷留意這種情況，兩隻狗“真的很好奇地看著牠們” ，但牠們從來沒有得到機會放縱其好奇心。對這些溫和的動物，貓是另一種危險，因此在受保護的環境下飼養這樣的寵物是至關重要的。 Duarte的母親對於兒子在她的房子裡創建的爬行動物公園有何看法？對她來說，她不是一個粉絲，但只要Duarte能負擔費用，她歡迎飼養牠們。這對Duarte來說太好了，因為他真的很喜歡鬃獅蜥，而且準備擴大他的小團夥。而另一次生日已近在眼前了。

鯊行動 Shark Savers

引言: 鯊魚等同恐懼。而大多數人不明白牠們對海洋生物平衡有多重要。吃鯊魚翅的傳統嚴重破壞我們的生態系統，澳門本地組織正努力挽救這種珍貴動物。

取鯊魚鰭是一種殘酷的行為，然而多年來鯊魚鰭的銷售、貿易及分銷蓬勃發展。在亞洲，著名的“魚翅湯”和傳統魚翅療法令需求不斷增加，據“護鯊行動” 稱，每年超過7,000萬條鯊魚死於割鰭，以這樣的速度，10 至20年內整個鯊魚種群將被滅絕。

獵

幾年前，非政府組織“澳門環保學生聯會”嘗試推行停止食用魚翅運動，他們試圖收集簽名，希望廢除食魚翅，他們使用令人感到非常不安和血腥的畫面，企圖激發澳門人吃魚翅前三思。結果人們對此舉的反應不太積極。因此，與“ 護鯊行動 ”合作的機會一到來，他們便毫不猶豫加入。“護鯊行動”於2007年成立，該組織來自99個國家的超過25,000名成員都擁有共同目標。 Pets & Hugs • March 2014

“護鯊行動”的運動不是令市民觸目驚心，而是利用較樂觀的策略，如將鯊魚描繪成友善、可愛的海洋生物。他們希望民眾明白，鯊魚是自然週期的核心元素之一，如果牠們全都被殺死，那麼整個海洋生物將無法自我維持。鯊魚是保護我們整個生態系統至關重要的生物。他們希望人類愛護鯊魚，而不是把牠們當作可怕的海洋生物。 “ 護鯊行動 ”代表 J o e Cha n解釋說：“ 2 013年12 月 8日的‘國際擁抱日' 變成了‘鯊魚抱抱日'，我們一些義工打扮成鯊魚，在澳門走來走去與人們擁抱。這是個有趣的場面，6人打扮成鯊魚，活力充沛地在澳門街頭與人擁抱，目的是為了讓人們不要害怕鯊魚，讓他們感受與鯊魚接觸，並希望他們簽

其次，我們遊客的63％來自中國內地，他們想要吃的就是魚翅。他們是大客戶，即使餐廳老闆不同意吃魚翅的行為規範，他們也不能得罪這些遊客。 “或者當他們來到澳門，也應該嘗試體驗另一種文化，我們不是想餐館歇業，但我們可以嘗試引入其他方法取代魚翅，如素食”。選擇權

就像髮菜，我們現在所吃的髮菜是人工合成的，因為已有適當守則規定不能出售或購買真髮菜。今天無論你到那一家商店，你所吃的髮菜都是合成的，人人都仍然開心。只要你給客人提供選擇，只要菜色仍包含“魚翅”，無論是真的還是合成的，客人仍感高興。也許在傳統的宴會上，魚翅這道菜很重要，但為何不用合成魚翅呢？我們的目標是設法說服餐館老闆及鼓勵他們向客人提供一些選擇，至少讓客人有所選擇。目前，沒有選擇可言。我們希望可以逐步把這些變化慢慢融入澳門，即使我們只能夠影響1％的賭場和餐廳。鯊魚數量正在每年大幅下降。一個正面的消息是國際魚翅貿易已減少。現在我們看到貿易在減少，但價格在上升。如果對魚翅的需求放緩，希望生態系統會恢復平衡。

丘比特貓 Creamy

Creamy the Cupid Cat 有很多方法可讓你贏得心儀的對象。對於一個獨特的小夥子來說，這意味著用半年時間去追求他夢中的女士，當中涉及跳下高塔及讓他心愛的寵物貓加班......

Pets & Hugs • March 2014

There are many ways to win over the object of your affection. For one particular young man that meant six months of chasing the woman of his dreams, which involved jumping off a tower and making his beloved pet cat work overtime…

你將一對快樂、年輕的新婚夫婦和兩隻互不相讓的大貓放在一間公寓裡，你看到什麼？ Anakin Chan、他妻子April Ku和他們兩隻貓 Creamy和Orbu將告訴大家一個關於勇氣和關懷的故事。

當

然而事情並不總是這樣。這位高級技術營業經理和他的貓 Creamy剛開始時一切相對平靜，當時只有他們兩個在現在的公寓里和諧地生活。那是三年前的事， Anakin 從朋友那裏領養兩歲大的 C r e a m y，因他的朋友不能再照顧牠。當時Anaki n感到孤單，想要個伴，Creamy最適合不過。 “這太好了，”他閉上眼回憶幸福往事說。“第二天牠已經想在我懷裡和我睡，”他說著他心愛的貓，稱牠“是個好伴侶，從不尖叫或抓壞傢俱”。女孩到來

之後女孩來了。當Anankin遇上擔任Nu Skin如新產品顧問的Ap r i l，他立刻意識到她就是自己的意中人，於是用了半年時間去“追求她”。吸引她的注意是一個挑戰，為贏得 April，Anakin擬定了一個巧妙的計劃。這計劃需要一隻貓。深知 A p r i l 喜愛貓，他承認“Creamy是我的夥伴”。

當他們第一次相識，通過電話聊天和交換訊息，這許多訊息中充滿“你猜是誰”的精彩照片...... 一開始 Crea my 就被用作誘餌。但該計劃比單單發送他那超級可愛貓的照片更複雜，需要進一

我們可以一起令未來的夢想成真，對我們來說，這只是個開始。

步把April誘入計劃，其中一個方法，就是讓April與Creamy 在他的公寓內單獨相處。當 A n a n k i n 有了一個泰國7天假期時，這計劃便成事了。他把房間鑰匙、以及照顧、餵養 Creamy及令牠高興的責任全交到April手上。計劃成功。所以Ana ki n進一步行動，把他的貓留在April家

一個月。 Creamy在April家的第一天並不順利。牠躲藏了一整天。 April深感到不受歡迎，直到兩小時後Creamy才走出來吃食物並與她玩耍，那個晚上最終Crea my 睡在她的床上，這令她感到高興。當 April興奮地打電話與Anakin

We can make our dreams come true together in the future, for us this is just the start

分享好消息時，Ana ki n的反應複雜。 “我感到難過，我以為我是Creamy的唯一。我以為我很特別。”Anakin笑著憶述。克服Creamy喜歡April而背叛自己的感覺後，Anakin希望 April進一步掉進自己的計劃，當他長時間工作，白天需要有

人與Creamy玩耍時，便請她到他的住所幫忙。起初 A p r i l 不願意，最終還是讓步同意。 Anakin抓緊機會加強他的浪漫攻勢，在屋裏留下小禮物，但從來沒有真正表明是他還是 Creamy帶來的......然後聖誕節來了，他帶來一份特別的禮物給April，一架新相機，當然裡面滿載Creamy的照片。新婚燕爾

C re a m y 的所有工作得到回報，今年一月這對情侶喜結連理。他們決定為新家庭增加一隻貓。 Orbu是另一個不能再照顧貓的朋友送來的，跟 C r e a m y 不同，O r b u千方百計主宰一切，由吃到玩耍的方式。噢還有，Creamy和O rbu互相討厭對方。 Orbu是女王，而 C r e a m y 是她的奴隸，據 Anakin說，Orbu經常挑起爭鬥而Creamy這“好孩子”怕她。 Creamy在香港與一隻金毛尋回犬一起成長，因此認為自己也是狗。溫順、熱切去討好他人的Creamy只是一隻大軟蛋，一心只想睡覺打發牠的日子。

不單獨面對

在家裡Ap r i l視貓如孩子，而 Anakin把牠們看作同伴。被問及是否願意多養些貓，April 說她會來者不拒！然而，對April來說負責養兩隻貓的道路並不像聽起來那麼容易。數年前她失去深愛的天竺鼠，留下深深的傷痕，雖沒有減少她對動物的愛，但令她不再願意承擔照顧動物的責任。她與那隻超級聰明的寵物非常親密，牠不單能認出不同家庭成員，而且在去公園玩耍時服從命令。當牠因年老去世，這種傷感為April留下深深的烙印。那麼，為何這次與Creamy和 Orbu的相處感覺不同？ “因為這次不是我單獨面對問題，我有另一個人來分擔，現在我已經改變了想法，我想要很多貓！”April很激動地說。大跳躍

顯而易見，Anakin和April相遇的那天改變了他們的生活方式。回憶他從澳門旅遊塔做驚心動魄的蹦極跳時Anakin 說：“我從來沒想過去跳。”

一切源於April提出的挑戰。澳門旅遊塔十週年有一個特殊促銷優惠，Ap r i l的嘲笑帶來一連串連鎖反應，從而促成了 Anakin的一跳。

作為一個有畏高症的人，April 已向自己作出承諾，給自己勇氣把一個自己設置的最可怕的挑戰堅持到底。她作出個人承諾，兩夫婦一起面對生活中的一切困難和可怕的事情。然後她跳下澳門旅遊塔。一對新婚夫婦作出這麼多大膽決定，就個人及他們夫婦來說，此時此刻他們對自己的生命有何感覺？ “我們可以一起令未來的夢想成真，對我們來說，這只是個開始。”April自信地表白。看到他們在這麼短的時間內走過的路，我們希望他們大有作為。

“Because this time I am not the someone to share it with and

The big jump

The day that Anakin and April met would change their lives

in ways, beyond the obvious.

“I never had a reason to jump” Anakin says, looking back

at the lead up to the heartstopping bungee jump he made off Macau Tower.

That was, until April made

a dare. During the ten year

anniversary of Macau Tower

there was a special promotional offer and this is where a

taunt from April set a chain of

action in motion that brought about Anakin’s jump.

Having accepted her dare,

he dedicated his jump to her.

This left April not only moved, but also inspired. Signing up for a life-coaching course led to her decision to “to

something that I would never have thought I could do”, and to her own bungee jump.

April had made a promise to herself which gave her the

courage to follow through on one of the scariest dares she could

have set herself, being someone who has a fear of heights. She

made the personal promise to, as a couple, commit to confronting all the difficult and scary things in life- together. And then she jumped off Macau Tower.

For a newlywed couple who have made so many bold

decisions, in personal capacities as well as a couple, how do

they feel about their lives at this

point in time? “We can make our dreams come true together in

the future, for us this is just the start”, April states confidently.

Looking how far they have come in such a short period of time, we are expecting big things.

Dear Panicking,

Pregnant women are often told to avoid cats or even get rid of them because of the risk

of toxoplasmosis. However, studies show that it is extremely rare for this disease to be transmitted by touching cats.

However, avoid taking any risks, ask a family member to always keep the litter box clean

but most of all don’t eat undercooked meat or poorly washed vegetables and fruit, and

wear gloves or wash your hands thoroughly after handling raw meat or gardening.

Don’t keep your cat away. The stress of separation from your beloved pet during pregnancy is often more harmful than the almost non-

existent risk of getting toxoplamosis from it.

Dear Chocoholic,

Yes! It doesn’t matter if it is black, milk,

white chocolate or even cocoa powderall of them are toxic, although some

are more so then others. It depends on the concentration of theobromine, the

substance that makes chocolate toxic for dogs and cats. Cocoa beans and black

chocolate are the ones with the highest

concentration of theobromine, therefore it takes less chocolate to cause intoxication. The onset of symptoms is generally

within 4 hours after ingestion, but it can take up to 24 hours. The dog usually

starts vomiting, increases water intake, grows more restlessness, and in more serious cases, suffers convulsions.

Treatment should take place within 3

hours after ingestion. Eating chocolate can be fatal to your dog.

So next time you enjoy chocolate, be sure to keep it out of his reach…

age of 8, while medium (ex.

nowadays. The main reason is better health care, in particular regarding

preventive medicine:

all older animals should do yearly check-ups

危難之時亞洲象互相安慰根據一項新研究，亞洲象會通過觸摸及“談話”，安慰其他哀傷的大象，這表明牠們能夠表達同情和安慰。 “經非洲 5 0 年的行為觀察研究，證明了大象的高度社會性，牠們有同情心，可以思考自己的社會關係，並作出影響自己和他人的特定社會決定，”這項研究的英國劍橋大學研究員J o s h P l o t n i k 說，“ 我們第一次能夠通過我們在泰國的工作真正證實這一點。”研究人員對26頭圈養大象的行為進行了一年的觀察。Plotnik說，教導人們有關大象的智慧和社會品德的知識對保護工作非常重要。 Plotnik也是非營利組織Think Elephants Inte rnational的創始人和首席執行官，該組織主張保護大象。他說，此項新研究對亞洲當地社區有現實意義，因為他們每天接觸大象。 “有太多無奈，尤其是在亞洲”，棲息地的大量喪失令大象與人類衝突增加。 Plotnik說，例如大像有時會踩踏當地農作物。他說，因此，讓當地人更好地了解大象是非常重要的事。

Asian elephants console each other when in distress Asian elephants reassure other distressed

elephants by touching them and "talking" to them, which suggests they are capable of empathy and reassurance, according to new research.

"There is 50 years of behavioural observational

research out of Africa that elephants are highly social, they have empathy and they can think about their social relationships and make

specific social decisions that impact themselves and others," said study researcher Josh Plotnik, of the University of Cambridge in the United

Kingdom. "We were able, for the first time, to really confirm this through our work in Thailand."

The researchers observed the behaviour of 26

said Plotnik, who is also the founder and CEO of nonprofit organization Think Elephants International, which advocates for elephant conservation.

There are practical implications of the new

research for local communities in Asia who

deal with elephants on a daily basis, he said. "There is a lot of frustration, especially in

Asia", where a huge decrease in elephant

habitat has brought the animals into much

conflict with people. For instance, elephants sometimes raid local crops, Plotnik said.

Therefore, it's important for the local people to better understand elephants, he said.

New York Creates First-Ever Animal Abuser Registry In a first, the New York Senate has passed a

bill that would require that convicted animal abusers - just like convicted sex offenders -

register as such with the division of criminal justice services. Even more, those who have been convicted of abusing and torturing animals would also have to undergo a

required psychiatric evaluation and would be banned from ever owning pets again.

Under the bill, the names and addresses of

convicted animal abusers in New York would be made readily accessible to the public.

Those involved in the sale and adoption of

animals would be able to check the registry

before allowing someone to own an animal.

Animal cruelty has been a felony in New York since 1999 when Buster's Law was passed.

Buster was a cat in Schenectady in upstate

New York who was doused with kerosene and set on fire in 1997. The law bearing his name

was created to ensure that those who commit such crimes are convicted. The new law takes things a step further by creating the registry.

英國王室支持野生動物保護 2月13日查爾斯王子與他的兒子威廉和哈里王子出席打擊非法野生動物貿易倫敦會議。查爾斯立即作出一個慷慨激昂的演講，他強調迫切需要保護瀕危物種，如大象、犀牛和老虎等免於滅絕。 “此事刻不容緩，”查爾斯告訴來自50個國家與會代表。這位王室成員特別談到大象對森林裡種子發芽的重要性，他警告說，沒有這種動物，就會沒有森林。在此會議中談到的解決方案包括減少消費需求，實施更嚴厲的法律，及協助受動物貿易影響的社區，使其可持續發展及自給自足。作為一個熱衷於野生動物保護活動家，2 011年查爾斯成為世界自然基金會英國分會主席。像他的父親一樣，威廉王子創辦了 United for Wildlife（一個由7家保育組織合作的全球性機構）並擔任主席。

個养狗理由

Reasons You Need A Dog In Your Life

對於我們大多數人沒有必要去說服，因我們知道，生活中有狗比身邊沒有毛茸茸的朋友好多了！對於那些仍需要爭取的人，我們有15個很好的理由給你......

資料來源：赫芬頓郵報 / Source: Huffington Post

For most of us there is no need to be convinced, we know that life with a dog in it is so much better than not having our furry friends around! For those who still need to be won over, we have 15 very good reasons for you...

1．牠們同情人類的痛苦

倫敦大學金匠學院公佈的一項研究顯示，更多的狗會接近哭泣或處於悲痛中的人而不會接近處於其他狀態的人。這表明，狗同情並渴望安慰處於痛苦中的人。

1. They Empathize With Human Pain

In a study released by Goldsmiths College it showed more dogs will approach someone who’s crying or in distress than someone who is not. This shows that dogs are empathetic and are eager to help comfort humans in pain.

2. 牠們可以檢測癌症

根據上述研究，由於其令人難以置信的嗅覺，在執行檢測附近病人的肺癌任務時，狗顯示出70%至99%的精確度。

2. They Can Detect Cancer

Due to their incredible sense of smell, dogs have shown anywhere from 70 to 99% accuracy (depending on the study) when tasked with detecting lung cancer in a nearby patient.

3. 牠們減輕工作壓力

《工作場所健康管理國際雜誌》發現，把狗帶到辦公室的員工壓力更少，工作更快樂，就是因為他們的狗就在附近。

3. They Reduce Work Stress

The International Journal of Workplace Health Management has discovered that workers who bring their dog to their office have less stress and are happier with their job, simply because their dog is nearby.

4. 發作前檢測癲癇

最近的研究表明，某些狗能夠在癲癇患者發病前給予他們警示，有時可以在發作前幾小時發生。還沒有人知道這些狗是如何做到的，或者為什麼只有某些狗才能做到。不能靠訓練做到這一點，所以如果你需要一隻能嗅出癲癇的狗，你只能聽其自然。

4. Detect Seizures Before They Happen

Recent research has shown certain dogs are able to warn seizure patients that they’re going to experience an attack, sometimes hours before it even happens. Nobody yet

knows how they do it, or why only certain dogs are capable. They also can’t be trained to do it, so if you need a seizure-sniffing dog, you need to find yourself a natural.

5.通过“脏状态”幫助寶寶保持健康

最近的一項研究顯示，養狗家庭的嬰兒實際上比那些沒養狗家庭的嬰兒更健康，他們較少咳嗽、流鼻涕及較少患耳部感染。研究人員認為其原因是因為狗喜歡把玩污垢、泥巴和其他細菌滋生的泥土，從而增強了嬰兒的免疫系統。

5. Help Babies Stay Healthy By Being Dirty

A recent study has shown that babies with dogs are actually healthier than those without dogs, reporting fewer coughs, runny noses, and ear infections. The reason, researchers believe, is because dogs will

track in dirt, mud, and other germ-infested bits of earth, thereby boosting the child’s immune system.

6.幫助你保持體形

倫敦大學的一項研究已確認，養狗家庭的孩子比不養狗家庭的孩子更活躍，做更多運動。畢竟，追在狗後面比整天坐在沙發上更加有樂趣！

6. Help You Stay In Shape

A study from the University of London has determined that kids with dogs are more active, and exercise more often, than kids without dogs. After all, it’s a lot more fun running after your dog than sitting on the sofa all day!

7.檢測低血糖

狗以敏銳的嗅覺著稱，但牠們的嗅覺能力不止於此，牠們可以檢測主人的低血糖。牠們要么提醒血糖下降的人，或者如果在主人患糖尿病時，不停地吠叫以此提醒人來幫忙。

7. Detect Low Blood Sugar

Dogs are famous for their acute sense of smell and can do even more with it; they can also detect low blood sugar in their owner. They will either alert the person that their sugar has dropped, or if a diabetic attack has already occurred, will bark and bark and bark in an attempt to alert somebody to come help.

8. 幫助您遠離過敏源

不可輕視食物過敏，幸運的是，已經證明經訓練的狗可以檢測出其中的一些。所以，如果你對花生醬過敏，狗會在偵測到房間裡的花生味後提醒你。對其他可能同樣有害的東西，狗也能偵測。

8. Help You Stay Away From Allergens

Food allergies are nothing to sneeze at; luckily, dogs have been shown they can be trained to detect some of them. So if you’re allergic to peanut butter, the dog will alert you if it detects

anything with the scent of peanut in the room. Same with any other thing that might be harmful.

9.幫助你更善交际

英國醫學雜誌的結論是，狗更可以充當“社交催化劑”——幫助人們多外出，令人更容易接觸他人並整體上降低孤獨感。實際上其意義遠比狗提供的基本陪伴作用大，因為對人類社交的支持有利健康。

9. Help You Be More Social

The British Medical Journal has concluded that dogs act as “social catalysts” who help people get out more, approach others more easily, and overall reduce isolation. This is actually more important than

the basic companionship that dogs provide, as human social support is more beneficial to our health.

10.幫助預防儿童濕疹

出人意料的是，即使婴儿有過敏反应，實際上养狗可能对他们有利。有研究表明，一岁以下与狗一起生活的婴儿更少机会患令人烦恼的濕疹（一种慢性皮膚病）。

10. Help Prevent Eczema In Kids

In a surprising twist, it might actually be beneficial to get a dog for

your baby, even if they’re allergic. Studies have shown that children under the age of one who live with a dog are much less likely to

develop the chronic and annoying skin condition called eczema.

11. 通過親吻治愈傷口

狗的親吻令你感覺好極了，但它實際上可能有身體上的好處。有研究表明，無論是人類或狗的唾液，可以幫助刺激神經和肌肉，並让氧氣再次流动——這是幫助傷口癒合的要素。總之，“舔你的傷口” 畢竟不只是一個老生常談。

11. Heal Wounds Simply By Kissing You

A dog kissing you obviously feels wonderful, but it might actually have physical benefits

too. Studies have shown that saliva, both the human and dog variety, can help stimulate nerves and muscles, and get oxygen moving again, which is the secret ingredient in helping wounds to heal. In short, “licking your wounds” is not just a cliché after all.

12. 令長者狗主減少看醫生

幾乎可以肯定，有研究發現，由於狗帶給主人的積極共鳴和良好感情，即使在最糟糕的時候，養狗的老年人比不養狗的平均每年至少少看一次醫生。

12. Make Their Elderly Owners Go To The Doctor Less

Almost certainly due to the positive vibes and good feelings that dogs bring out of

their owners, even in the worst of times, studies have found that older people who own dogs average at least one less doctor appointment per year than those who do not.

13.幫助治愈抑鬱症

研究顯示，经常遇到的抑鬱症，甚至更嚴重的慢性抑鬱症，容易在狗的关愛下解决。只要身邊有牠们，我们知道即使我們身处逆境，有人無條件愛我們，并渴望看到我們重展笑容，我們便有理由重新出发繼續前進。

13. Aid With Depression

Day-to-day depression, or even more serious chronic depression, is easier to

handle with the love of a dog, studies show. Simply by having them around,

and knowing that even at our worst, somebody loves us unconditionally and is eager to see us happy again, we’re given a reason to get up and keep going.

14. 缓解自閉症兒童的压力自閉症兒童常常會發現他們的世界充滿壓力，而非自閉症兒童則無法理解。幸運的是狗可以緩解此壓力。研究顯示，將治療狗帶進自閉症兒童家庭有助於減少自閉症兒童體內的皮質醇（一種壓力激素）含量。狗可以令孩子安靜，也等於告訴他有朋友相伴。

14. Comfort Children With Autism

Autistic children often find the world very stressful, in ways that the non-autistic can’t

understand. Luckily, a dog can. Studies are showing that bringing a therapy dog into an

autistic household helps to reduce the amount of cortisol (a stress hormone) in the autistic child’s body. This both calms the child down and shows him that he has a friend.

15.幫助癡呆症患者生活得更好已經表明狗可以令癡呆症患者保持生活規律，狗會提醒他們何時吃藥及何時去看醫生。此外，當主人內心感到不安時，“癡呆症醫療狗”就在那裡支持他們、安慰他們，並提醒他們總有人在他們身邊。

15. Help People With Dementia Live A Better Life

Dogs have shown that they can help keep dementia sufferers on schedule, reminding them when it’s time for medicine and when to see the doctor. In addition, when the owner experiences frustration over the state of

their mind, the “dementia dog” is right there to support them, comfort them, and remind them that someone’s always there for them.

國際社會堅決要求關閉逸園賽狗場 International community pressures Canidrome shutdown 在內地和世界各地131家促進動物福利機構的支持下，亞洲動物聯盟已代表15個國際組織致信行政長官崔世安，堅決要求在2015年澳門逸園賽狗場特許經營權到期時將其關閉。鑑於此事與《寶貝寵物》的讀者及其訂閱機構有關，我們將此信內容全文發表如下。

An open letter, sent by AFA, on behalf of 15 international organizations and supported by another 131 institutions involved in promoting animal welfare, in the Mainland and throughout the world, has been sent to the Chief Executive Chui Sai On pressuring for the shutdown of the Canidrome in 2015 when the concession of the racing track is due to expire. Given the relevance of the letter’s to the readers of Pets & Hugs and the wide reach of the organisations subscribing to it we publish its contents below in full.

5 March 2014 Dear Dr Chui Sai On 尊敬的崔世安长官:

Dr Chui Sai On Chief Executive of Macau Macau Government Headquarters Avenida da Praia Grande Sede do Governo da RAEM Macau SAR - China

您好,我谨代表亚洲动物联盟向您致信,以表达国际组织在动物福利和动物保护问题上的一致意见。我们对在澳门举行的逸园赛狗大赛中的灵缇犬福利深感忧虑。

We are writing on behalf of the Asia for Animals Coalition, representing international organisations with extensive knowledge of animal welfare and protection issues. We express our deep concern for the welfare of greyhounds at the Macau Canidrome.

以纯粹娱乐为目的的澳门灵缇犬比赛隐藏了太多动物的不幸遭遇和折磨。正如您所知,灵缇犬是从千里之外的澳大利亚装运到澳门的,但是大部分的灵缇犬只有非常短暂的赛跑生涯。每年有上百只狗源源不断地被装运过来,在条件相当恶劣的环境中赛跑,很多狗也因此而受伤。我们联盟的成员曾亲眼看到受伤的灵缇犬被强迫赛跑。有媒体统计,每年有380只灵缇犬由于它们受伤 1 或不具有比赛优势而被抛弃甚至是死亡。

The racing of greyhounds in Macau for entertainment involves a great deal of animal suffering. As you are aware, greyhounds are shipped over thousands of miles from Australia but most of them have very short racing lives. Each year hundreds of dogs continue to be transported and raced in poor conditions which often lead to injuries. Members of our Coalition have witnessed dogs with injuries being forced to race, and media reports suggest 380 dogs are destroyed each year because they are either injured or become otherwise uncompetitive. 1

目前比赛只有很少的观众出席率,而且近年来从比赛中取得的商业效益也急剧下降。与澳门的其他博彩业和娱乐产业相比,逸园灵缇犬比赛为澳门的经济带来的贡献微乎其微。在大多数举办赛狗活动的地方会有专门为赛犬准备的退休和收容计划。我们考虑到澳门实际的大小,几乎不可能为大量退役的赛犬找到合适的新家。澳门爱护动物协会(The Anima)曾提议对赛犬进行收容,然而此项提议尚未被赛场业主们所接受。尊敬的崔长官,我们强烈请求您能考虑这种不可持续的贸易为澳门带来的潜在负面影响。如今,越来越多的人逐步认识这一活动对动物造成的伤害,而灵缇犬赛狗也正在时刻侵蚀着澳门作为一个繁荣现代都市的国际名声。此议题在 2014 年 1 月于新加坡召开的国际动物保护会议上被正式讨论,并且超过 350 位的与会代表支持终止澳门的灵缇犬赛狗活动。逸园赛狗场位于一个高人口密度区,从犬舍中传出的嗥叫声和哭嚎声已经对当地的生活环境造成了打扰,况且当地社区正需要增加更多的住宅、停车场和绿地。我们了解逸园赛狗场的租赁期限将于 2015 年到期,但是我们盼望政府能够利用这次机会在接下来的两年里取缔赛狗活动,同时和动物保护组织一起,为当前还在赛狗场里的灵缇犬寻找合适的家,同时也借此机会合理利用土地资源,以造福本地社区。

Race meetings have very low attendance and income from this business has dropped sharply in recent years. Compared to other gambling and entertainment enterprises in Macau the Canidrome makes a negligible contribution to the economy. In most countries where dogs are raced there are retirement and adoption schemes for greyhounds. We understand that given Macau’s size there is little or no capacity for unwanted dogs to be found new homes. The Anima – Society for the Protection of Animals (Macau) has offered to adopt greyhounds yet this offer has not been accepted by the track owners. We respectfully urge you to consider the implications for Macau of allowing this unsustainable trade to continue. Awareness of this suffering has spread around the world, and is damaging Macau’s reputation as a prosperous, modern city. This issue was discussed at an international animal protection conference in Singapore in Jan 2014 and over 350 delegates supported and end to greyhound racing in Macau. The track is located in a high density area, the barking and crying from the kennels is causing a local disturbance, and the local community need additional housing, parking and green spaces. We understand that the Canidrome concession is due to expire in 2015, and we hope the Government will take this opportunity over the coming two years to end greyhound racing, to work with animal protection organisations to find suitable homes for greyhounds currently within the industry, and to make good use of the land for the benefit of the local community.

為何需要法律保護所有動物，而不僅僅是寵物為了動物的福址，立法會議員必須互相妥協和消除分歧。多年苦等一部良好法律，現在是時候確保政府、立法會議員和動物權益者所有的努力不會因政治和商界的遊說而白白浪費；或確保不會因一部不適當和不可接受的法律（只保護寵物而遺忘了另一群被認為不是寵物的動物）而浪費所有努力。在本會建議一項較快捷方法（只需行政長官批准的行政法規）後，若保護動物法還是被推遲或被錯誤處理，恐怕澳門的社會大眾是不能理解的。越來越多動物被動物福利組織拯救，但政府似乎對市政狗房殺害這麽多動物卻沒有太多感覺。遺棄動物是個殘酷的情況，我們所有人都必須強烈打擊，因我們都認同動物也需要權利。

Why we should have a law protecting all animals and not only pets Legislative Assembly members must compromise and be able to put their differences aside to work for the cause of animals. After so many years of waiting for a good law, it is time to ensure that all the efforts by the

Government, Legislative Assembly members and Animal Rights Activists, is not lost due to politics and business lobbies. Or is not lost in an inadequate and unacceptable law that only protects pets but neglects other animals not

considered pets. Macau’s society will not understand if this law is postponed and wrongly addressed after Anima has suggested a faster way through an
