I had gone through a similar situation. My family went for a ride in the countryside in Beijing with our dog Noortje in the car, when stopped for a break she was very happy jumping out of the car and ran into a pond nearby which is full of green algae. She came out of water with her legs trembling, it was early spring so I thought she was shaking because of the cold water. Just a couple of minutes later she started to crash on and behaved weird. We drove immediately back into town directly to the academy of veterinary. We were right on time and after a half day infusion Noortje was rescued! We learned a lesson that the Green Algae could be deadly!

Yep, I can't even swim in water around Montreal because of the pollution

This is so sad 😞

[@EternalResonance]

pollutants in the water are to blame. factories polluting the air, that algae overpopulates when the water is poluted.

It is consumers fault;if people didn’t buy too much unnecessary goods;the pollution problem could be solved.
People are selfish,silly and naive;they will never accept the fact that they are killing the Planet.Why would they bring more children to this poisoned World by their parents..?Hypocrites.

Keep your comments on, on all of your video's cbc

[@dpayne6567]

Why? Read it, most of it is drivel and hate. Somehow Muslims Liberals and immigrants get brought into dog deaths. youtube comments are for the lowest of the low these days. Started out pretty good years ago. I use to post vids around 2009. Some debate then, now just people shouting their propaganda.

[@TakaPvP]

Maybe since people always seem to talk about Muslims, Liberals and immigrants is because their is a problem with them?

[@dpayne6567]

1. This is a dead dog story, comments should be relevant to the video.
2. The World's problem is a wealthy vs. poor battle. Since the 1960's the wealthy share less of the World's wealth with the people. The wealthy control the media (message) and politics (laws). They promote division among the people so the people are distracted from the real issues. However if you like irrational discussion and blaming dog deaths on immigrants, Liberals and Muslims perhaps you should join an online group like the KKK where all the discussion is always irrational and pointless.

i never said anything about muslims or anything i clearly said keep comments on and you commented and brought up the muslims and immigration..
