I like Puerto Rico but sometimes it just irks me.
First: I really hate that you see so many abandoned animals in the street and no shelters for them. Every week I see a dead dog in the road because a car hit it. The sad part is that not only are they dead but they remain in the same spot rotting for weeks and no one, no organization nothing has the decency to do something about it. At least move them away. I mean you wouldn't want to see corpses laying around every where, would you? Not many people make an effort to bring them to a vet or animal shelter, but I can understand them sometimes because you barley ever see one. I've only seen 2 since I've lived here and they where the smallest things. It's ridiculous what people do here to get rid of an animal. I've seen many strange cases of animals left in the express way; it's like they want the animal to die. I've seen two occasions where there have been a dead horse that was left for weeks in the same spot, kittens, puppies, even a rabbit once, just terrified or squashed in the middle of those high speed roads. It's obvious they couldn't have got there alone. Even if it's to much of a burden for someone why leave them to die there. Those things Irk me!Here is a link to an organization trying to help.
Second: I'm not a fan of the education system in PR, hopefully it's gotten better since I graduated. It could be that my school was really crappy, but I still think the reasons why is because of the Department of Education. I think they need to provide better equipment and books for the schools. Many schools have these problems there supplies are outdated. Here are some things ther "working on".
Third: I can't stand the way the majority of people talk here, I'm sorry, but there are just some words that I dislike. I'm not saying I don't use curse words every now and then because that would be a lie but apparently these words are mentioned every to seconds. And the worst part is that it's "normal" and common so that makes it okay. To be honest I'm really not found of many Puerto Rican slang, (some I can work with but frankly it just sounds stupid to me the way people use these terms). Belive me when I say that I've tried several times to speak this way to see if the problem was me, but I just sound plain stupid and feel really idiotic. Then again maybe it is me. Even so I hate how they sound! I'm not sorry.
Fourth: I know politics are important even though I am not a fan either but what I really hate about Puerto Rico is Election Week . Of course every one is going to celebrate with there favorite campaigns but over here they take it to a whole other level. There is no order, people are all over the place it's horrible.
