Dogs don't have ceremony rites. In Igbo culture, when a prominent man dies, his burial is a ceremony that can last for days, cows are slaughtered, friends he has made across life drop everything they are doing and come for the funeral. It's a feast with as many as a thousand people. When a man kills himself by hanging himself, it's a shameful thing and the funeral is without fanfare.
Yes, If I may: in countries like Africa, dogs are usually on their own (even if they are nominally someone's pet) and quite often get run over on the road. They are left there to rot before someone buries them or throws them over to rot elsewhere without affecting traffic or roadside business. It is undignified for dogs, especially so for humans.
Countries like Africa?
sema Okal, huyu jamaa anajifanya anajua kumbe ni ujinga wake anaonyesha.
Oh my! That was harsh and cleverly concealed too! My observation was lost in translation. I have nothing against Africa. I read Achebe and consider Things Fall Apart to be one of the best books I have read along with Hundred Years of Solitude.
I didn't personally read any malice into your comment, for whatever it's worth. Sorry if my comment made your day less pleasant. I could have made my point more kindly.
