Dog-saving stirs debate

Another microblogger, Liluping, said "We poured such huge sum of money into saving dogs. I would rather the money be spent on disaster relief."
Some applaud volunteers's actions and show eagerness of offering their helping hands to those saved dogs.
Still many disapprove those "saving dogs" critics, arguing that such act nonetheless embodies social progress.
A microblogger named "broken bridge" said, saving dogs does not run counter to taking care of people. As long as people are paying attention to public affairs, they are promoting social progress. Such enthusiasm in public affairs will help raise social awareness in helping the needy.
KevinHSun, another net user, said it's pointless arguing why we should save dogs while millions of people are still suffering hunger. Saving dogs and saving the poor are both acts embodying civilization and social progress.
Net user's opinions also divide over whether people should stop eating dogs, but some argue nobody could force their own moral standards on others.
A microblogger, Michae, said nobody could force their moral standards and habits on others. Another expressed similar ideas: "I am raising a pet dog, so I don't eat dogs, but I can't push others not to eat."
According to a news release posted on the website of the CSAPA, knowing that three to five dog-loaded trucks pass by each day on Jingha expressway, their volunteers waited there on Friday morning and stopped a truck.
After it was first reported on microblog, hundreds of volunteers swarmed to Jingha expressway, taking with them dog food, water and medicines, and help CSAPA with registering dogs and curing the wounded ones.
