今晚话题:英国乔治小王子喂狗狗冰淇淋引争议

年满三岁的英国皇室乔治小王子(Prince George),是英国威廉王子(Prince William)和凯特王妃(Kate Middleton)的第一个孩子。他的父母选在生日这天公开4张萌照,没想到一张他半跪地喂狗狗的照片,却被“英国皇家防止虐待动物协会”指出他虐待动物。你了解哪些食物对于狗狗是有毒的吗?你怎么看待宠物,宠物权利和宠物安全的。今晚我们聊聊此话题。

Anger at royal child feeding dog ice cream

A photo of the three-year-old son of Britain's Prince William has made animal rights groups angry. The photo is one of four released by the royal family to celebrate the third birthday of William's son, Prince George. It shows him sitting on the grass offering white chocolate ice cream to his pet dog.

An animal charity immediately issued a warning to all pet owners about giving ice cream and chocolate to pets. The charity is the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA). It said although Prince George was just trying to be kind to his dog, it wasn't a good thing to do because chocolate and ice cream are bad for dogs. The RSPCA charity said it did not advise others to follow the child's example.

Some people have defended the photo and said Prince George is not wrong. They said a three-year-old does not know which things are dangerous for dogs. They said he was just playing like any child, and being kind to his pet. They also pointed out that the dog was not actually eating the ice cream in the photo. 

The RSPCA said: "It is lovely that Prince George is trying to help keep his family dog cool in high temperatures [but] we would advise pet owners to be cautious when giving their dogs food meant for human consumption as some items, like chocolate, can be highly toxic to dogs and dairy items can be difficult for them to digest." Chocolate poisons dogs, and can lead to a dog's death. Darker chocolate is more dangerous.
