ABSTRACT

A dog in a developed country is better off than me, a disabled person in Zimbabwe. If you go to developed countries, they have developed advanced policies to improve the welfare of dogs and other animals. Their dogs have rights. But here in Zimbabwe I struggle to get everything as a disabled person. Disabled people are second-class citizens. They have no rights. It would have been better if I was created as a dog in a developed country than a disabled being in Zimbabwe. I do not even have assured survival. I struggle to get education, employment and access the health facilities.
