Although during the epidemic, there was an upsurge in adopting cats and dogs in the United States. Some shelters were robbed of all stray cats and dogs, but only a small number. Most of the cats and dogs in shelters are still waiting to die every day.
Previously, Shenzhen had stipulated that stray cats and dogs should be disposed of after a certain number of days without being adopted. Many netizens said it was cruel and unscrupulous. But in fact, when it comes to dealing with stray cats and dogs, the moon abroad is not rounder.
The space in the shelter is limited, but there are still a large number of stray dogs that need to be rescued and taken in every day. In order to make room for them, dogs that have not been adopted after a period of time may be euthanized.
The animal organization Animal Reality Exposed shared 2 photos to let everyone realize the reality: In an aisle of the shelter, more than 20 dogs were lying quietly on their sides. This is the number of dogs that a shelter euthanizes every day.
Most of the dogs here are actually not stray dogs, but dogs abandoned by their owners. Every dog has its own story, and the reasons for being abandoned are all kinds of strange, but in the final analysis, the owner is unwilling to take responsibility and doesn’t love him anymore! Different dogs, but the final fate is the same. They are abandoned by their owners and end up alone and helpless.
This scene is simply heartbreaking, but it happens every day. It’s just that everyone is unwilling to face it and talk about it. Instead, they work hard to send away dogs that may be adopted as much as possible to prevent them from suffering.
Japan, which also strictly controls stray dogs, has been criticized by dog lovers in Japan for its "dream box" many years ago. The dream box is a sealed space. When a dog stays in the shelter for 3-7 days without being adopted, it will be sent inside for disposal.
The dogs will be put into the same cage first, and then the staff will give them the final water and food, and then inject carbon dioxide. Dogs will begin to have difficulty breathing, wail and cry in pain, begin to twitch and eventually become motionless. The machine pushes the dogs to the place where they are cremated and then disposed of like garbage. Among the dogs that have been dealt with, there are also many purebred dogs. In the final analysis, it is the owners who abandoned them who are at fault.
Although more and more people keep dogs every year, the number of abandoned dogs is also increasing. I hope some owners will not be impulsive in raising dogs. Raising dogs really costs a lot of time, energy and money. If you cannot commit to taking care of them for a lifetime, it is better not to buy a dog. If you are interested in raising a dog, we recommend adopting one instead of buying one.
