Stray animals. Raising a conscience
The conscience of people capable of adopting and sharing their environment instead of buying is completely different. They are aware of the problem caused by the ignorant majority, who rarely keep an animal after they reach adulthood. Sterilization is still a taboo, so many countries, especially developing, have many stray animals on their streets. Some people will possibly feed them, but rarely adopt. The next stage is organizing these animals into large groups, packs and even attacking people, because of frustration, hunger, aggression and pack power showing.
Different countries have several “solutions”: Shelters where animals are kept for some time and after which will be euthanized. Sterilization, to prevent further breeding. Euthanasia straight after they are collected from the street is a very common “solution” in developing countries, even when animals are as young as newborn puppies. And finally, preventing all of these by monetary punishments, so when an animal is found alone on the street, the owner will straight away be discovered by reading a chip beneath an animal’s skin and punished. So far, the last solution proved as the best, since people are simple and simple material solutions always work the best. But how can we raise a conscience of people, to understand animal’s suffering after being abandoned? Educating, showing results publicly, even if they are very violent to watch, we should be aware of consequences and those few who understand now, can help others. Without judgment and feeling that few who understand are better as people, but by understanding, using a video, a picture, a word, showing everything, no matter the age of those who stand in front of us. Because very often, kids are way more reasonable that we adults, they can understand better and have no boundaries that we later create.
Interesting fact: Lately, developed countries have a trend of adopting a stray dog, but since not many of them are left there, they choose to adopt from developing countries. Why? First of all, every single one of these dogs is so unique by their look and one and only, very healthy and as such, rarely has a need to visit a veterinarian, while “pure breeds” have major health problems and often require difficult treatments, operations, etc. By adopting a stray dog, the owner did great on several points.
After all, shelters are full of different breeds as well as mixed, so everybody can find their long term life companion. Over a short time, these animals become different, happy, positively unrecognizable and what about people who adopt them? They change their conscience, become more active and healthy, happier since they spend more time outside and easily connect with others, when in a walk with their new friends😊
