疫情之下，请善待每一个生命
春节期间，有些无法带宠物回家的“铲屎官”们选择备足水粮，把宠物留在家中。
然而受新型冠状病毒感染的肺炎疫情影响，很多人不能按原定计划返程，这让许多留在家中的宠物面临缺水、缺粮的危险。
如何让这些留守宠物们在疫情期间渡过难关，成了宠物主人们的心病。
疫情时期的“特殊救援”
1月26日，武汉市小动物保护协会在其微信公众号发布通告，宣布建立援助群，供需要援助的人士登记信息，协会将根据实际情况提供援助。
根据协会发布的信息，发布公告当天就收到了400多条求助申请。截至到2月5日，约有5000多人发送了求助申请。
志愿者们上门为宠物补充食物、饮水、清洁，并视频连线求助者让他们能看看自己宠物的情况。
此外，协会也及时在其微信账号发布上门帮扶反馈信息和各类宠物援助信息。
Due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus, many people, who left for the Spring Festival holiday, can't return home as planned.
Some are pet owners who had previously left their pets with water and food for around seven days. These animals are trapped inside their homes and might be in danger of dying from starvation.
In Wuhan, the epicenter of the novel coronavirus outbreak, Wuhan Small Animal Protection Association announced on January 26, saying they could provide aid for pets left alone at home. As of Wednesday, the organization has been contacted by around 5,000 pet owners asking for help.
除了帮助未能及时返回的宠物主人，武汉市一名网名叫老猫的宠物救助志愿者还免费给医护人员留在家里的宠物添水喂食，并拍下视频发给主人，给前方的医护人员传递了特别的温暖。
还有其他一些城市的动物保护志愿者和网友们也在社交网站上发布互助信息、建立互助群，自发救助那些留守家中缺水、缺粮的宠物们。
Apart from helping those who can’t return home on time, Lao Mao, an animal protection volunteer in Wuhan also provides free sitting services for pets of medical staff currently fighting the novel coronavirus.
Net users, animal lovers, and animal protection organizations in other Chinese cities also extended a helping hand to rescue those pets left alone during these tragic times.
疫情当前莫做不负责任的主人
然而疫情期间，有人在救助，也有人在遗弃。
之前网上流传的“宠物会感染新型冠状病毒”的消息，引发了一些人的担忧，有人因此遗弃了自己的宠物。
CGTN前方记者葛云飞在探访武汉时，也发现了宠物狗被遗弃的现象。
为做好疫情防控，宠物主人们应该加强对宠物管理和照顾，而不是随意遗弃宠物。
此前，世界卫生组织已经表示，目前没有证据表明狗猫等陪伴类动物/宠物会感染新型冠状病毒。
针对宠物是否会感染新冠病毒的问题，国家卫生健康委员会专家组成员蒋荣猛2月3日在新闻发布会上也给出了回应，目前为止未发现宠物感染新型冠状病毒再传染给人的案例。
Previous rumors said that pets could be infected by the novel coronavirus, so as a result, there were cases of dogs and cats being abandoned in some cities.
World Health Organization said, "there is no evidence that companion animals/pets such as dogs or cats can be infected with the new coronavirus." Jiang Rongmeng, a member of the National Health Commission expert group, also stressed that there was no evidence of the spread of the virus between humans and pets.
每一个生命都值得平等对待
不仅仅是留守的宠物们，其他一些动物们在疫情期间也面临着缺口粮的困境。
武汉动物园2月1日在官方微博发布一则求助信息：受到交通物流管制的影响，动物园物资告急，动物饲料供给存在困难。
这则特殊的“求助信”迅速得到了网友们的关注和接力，很快就有热心网友和市民施来援手。阿里巴巴旗下的盒马鲜生也为武汉动物园提供了饲养动物所需的水产品。
2月4日，南京红山森林动物园的丹顶鹤、火烈鸟因为疫情面临断粮，动物园在微博发布求助信息后，也得到了网友和社会各界爱心人士的鼎力相助。
Pet dogs and cats are not the only animals in need of help.
Wuhan Zoo on Saturday released a notice on its official Weibo account, saying that aquatic products for animals like pelicans, cranes, and penguins were in severe shortage, because of the traffic and logistic controls in the city.
Only a few hours after it released the notice, the zoo's management hotline received calls from people nationwide willing to help. Local residents sent food to the zoo, while Freshhema, Alibaba-based supermarket, provided the zoo with the products it needed.
A similar case also happened in Nanjing, east China's Jiangsu Province. Nanjing Hongshan Forest Zoo on Tuesday sought help online due to animal food shortage. Its problem was soon solved thanks to joint efforts from solicitous people.
昆明草海大坝1月25日宣布因疫情防控暂停开放，栖息在这里的1万多只红嘴鸥的“饮食”成了大家的牵挂。昆明市林业和草原局日前回应，已经安排海鸥投喂员，专人喂食。
病毒无情，人间有爱
疫情之下
愿每一个生命都能被平等对待
