Some people dye dogs to look like pandas and charge tourists for photos, sparking discussion about animal protection.

Brother, why is this “panda” so small? It looks so tired.

Xiaobao, this isn’t a panda. It’s a dog dyed black and white. Some people let tourists hold it for photos and charge twenty yuan each time.

Huh? Does the dog hurt? Its eyes can barely open. I don’t want to hold it for a photo.

You’re right to think that way. Truly liking animals doesn’t mean treating them like toys. Pandas are China’s national treasure, and dogs are living beings too. They should all be well cared for.

Then what should we do when we see something like this?

We can tell an adult, and we shouldn’t pay to take photos. That way, they won’t keep hurting animals.

I understand. If we like animals, we should protect them, not make them uncomfortable.
