• In Istanbul

  Grief crawls upon your heart like waves on the seashore. Sometimes you feel you are simply a wave in the restless, shapeless ocean; sometimes a drop in the ocean fallen from the clouds of unknowing; sometimes you’re like a pilgrim soul who has now reached the shore, waiting for the boatman to row you to the other side, if there’s another side to a sea-wave.

• 要聞港聞- 【一周必看】 衣架毆打腳踢頭強國生澳洲虐狗斷正

  

  澳洲卧龍崗大學(University of Wollongong)一名中國留學生，因為暴打自己飼養的西摩犬(Samoyed)，被裁定五年內不可以飼養寵物。二十五歲的張旭東(Xudong Zhang,音譯，圖)去年七月某天下午，被鄰居發現在露台用大衣架多次毆打白色的薩摩耶犬，令牠大聲慘叫，於是把虐犬情況拍下。根據法庭公佈的錄影片段，張旭東先打了該小狗三下，再將一個狗圈套在其頸上，用鐵鏈把牠拴在露店欄杆。張之後抓起狗皮，把牠摁到面前，用衣架打牠的頭和背七下，期間小狗不停慘叫。張停手不久，小狗站起來，他見狀又打，小狗躲到露台另一端。張之後拉開趟門返回屋內，小狗轉身走向他，被他狠狠地朝頭部踢了一腳。鄰居把片段交給當地的愛護動物協會(RSPCA)，小狗立即被沒收。張三日後承認因為小狗弄壞家具，所以打牠作懲罰。他已寫信給RSPCA道歉，但法庭仍裁定他五年內禁養寵物。澳洲新快網/《悉尼先驅晨報》 ..
