Jiangnan Stray Dog Rescue Center.

A vacant land located on the outskirts of the city was formerly an abandoned breeding farm. It was later bought by Aunt Chen and transformed into a stray dog ​​rescue center.

The rescue station is surrounded by a mixture of earth walls and barbed wire, and there are several areas inside.

There are many abandoned or homeless stray dogs adopted here, and often no one is willing to adopt them. Therefore, these stray dogs give birth frequently and breed more puppies. When these puppies grow up,

They have become a new batch of stray dogs.

Many people think that stray dogs only threaten human survival and safety and are of no benefit. They are pests in today's society and they should be killed.

Because they can bite children and transmit rabies, only complete elimination can ensure everyone's safety.

Others feel that stray dogs also have the right to live. Although there have been incidents of stray dogs biting people, they cannot be generalized and completely eradicate stray dogs.

Nowadays, more and more people keep pets, especially dogs. Many people not only treat them as pets, but also love them as children.

In fact, many people must have seen stray dogs on the street, and more than once.

The knotted hair, innocent eyes, thin body, dirty face, and the posture of always looking for food...

Many people will wonder, where do so many stray dogs come from in the city? What is the origin of stray dogs? Why are more and more stray dogs appearing on the streets? Do stray dogs need to survive?

In fact, if you observe carefully, it is not difficult to find that although many dogs will find a good owner, there are still some dogs that will be abandoned and become stray dogs.

They spend a long time wandering through dark alleys and looking for leftover food next to dirty trash cans just to find some food to satisfy their hunger.

Stray dogs that are fed by people will wait for people to put food on the ground, and then dare to eat when the people are far away.

In many places, if you observe carefully, you will find that stray dogs are not limited to Chinese pastoral dogs, but there are also some breeds of dogs.

Such as golden retriever, Teddy, Samoyed, etc...

Some of their fur has condensed and the color of their fur is no longer visible, but some of them are still clean.

Some of these dogs were abandoned because they were sick, some were living on the streets because they were lost, and some were abandoned because humans had no time or energy and just liked them temporarily...

This is also one of the reasons for the increase in stray dogs.

When Officer Wang drove the car to the entrance of the rescue station, a chained German shepherd was roaring crazily at him. Next to the German shepherd were several golden retrievers, which were relatively docile, lying on the ground and lazily looking outside.

.

After Police Officer Wang found an open space and parked his car, he held a black bag in his hand, pointed at the signboard of "Jiangnan Stray Dog Rescue Center" and said: "This is our destination today, although it is noisy

After all, I heard that there are more than 300 stray dogs inside, and those that are not locked up will not bite."

Gu Chen nodded slightly: "Except the German Shepherd."

"German shepherds are used to guard doors. They are locked with chains and must be aggressive to a certain extent." Officer Wang took a few steps, glanced at the dogs roaming in the yard inside, and continued: "Inside

The ones here are better. They are all small dogs and have no aggressive nature. Generally, stray dogs that are just brought here will be quarantined for a month until they have fully adapted to the environment here and they can be released after being vaccinated."

Officer Wang also told everything he knew in detail.

Gu Chen looked in through the iron bars...

There seemed to be no stray dogs inside, but the management staff didn't see any. They couldn't help but asked curiously: "How much does it cost to raise hundreds of stray dogs per day?"

"This is also one of the difficulties in adopting a stray dog." Officer Wang opened the unlocked iron door and yelled at the German Shepherd a few times. The German Shepherd immediately gave up and went back to his kennel to continue observing secretly.

Several golden retrievers still looked at Officer Wang lazily, without any fluctuation in their hearts.

These are gatekeepers, generally not to scare people, but if stray dogs run out of the compound, they will be scared back by the German shepherds.

To enter the stray dog ​​rescue center, you have to open an iron gate.

Bai Xiaolan held Lu Weiwei's arm.

The two girls are very curious about everything here.

Wu Jun carried the camera and first took pictures of the sign at the door before following him inside.

"There are more than 300 stray dogs in this rescue station alone, but the number of stray dogs in Jiangnan City is far more than this number." Officer Wang walked at the front and couldn't help but said: "At present, the number of stray dogs in our country

The number of stray dogs is as high as 40 million. Such a huge number is indeed difficult to centrally manage and is a hot potato for any person or rescue organization."

"Isn't there nothing we can do?" Gu Chen was also very concerned about this.

Officer Wang waved his hand and said: "It's not that there is nothing we can do. In fact, there is a lot of rich experience abroad in this regard, which is worth learning from."

"That's right." Lu Weiwei also interjected: "If Aunt Chen's own generosity is enough, it will undoubtedly be a drop in the bucket. Even if we rely on donations from caring people, we face so many stray dogs every day, even if we can barely maintain operations, then other stray dogs

What should we do? It’s impossible to just focus on these 300-odd dogs. After all, the number of stray dogs in Jiangnan City is actually far more than this number.”

"When I traveled abroad, I saw some feasible methods." Bai Xiaolan said while holding Lu Weiwei's hand.

"What's the significance of this?" Gu Chen wasn't too sure about this.

"Of course there is. There are generally four ways to deal with the problem of stray dogs in foreign countries. One is to use public and private rescue methods." Bai Xiaolan thought for a few seconds and continued: "Developed countries generally use public rescue centers and private rescue centers.

Rescue agencies work together to solve the problem of stray dogs."

"From the effect point of view, it is indeed very effective, but this method requires more people to participate due to funding reasons."

Officer Wang also said: "The method is good, but there are certain obstacles to its implementation here, because the public is unwilling to take care of it and the people are unwilling to pay. Over time, the number of stray dogs will increase year by year."

"So there is a second method." Bai Xiaolan suddenly smiled mysteriously: "That is to conduct unified sterilization and sterilization of these dogs after centralized management. This can control rabies after unified management, and also

It has a very good monitoring effect on the number of stray dogs.”

Seeing Gu Chen holding his chin in confusion, Bai Xiaolan smiled at Gu Chen and said: "Overseas, in countries that have established stray dog ​​rescue centers, it is rare to see stray dogs and emergency rabies epidemics on the road.

"

Gu Chen also noticed that Bai Xiaolan was talking to him, so he said "hmm" and answered: "This method is really good. I suggest that your TV station take this opportunity to publicize it more and give suggestions to the relevant departments."

Several lame Chinese garden dogs and a little black teddy, after seeing several people walking in, naturally came over to get close to them.

Lu Weiwei smiled and said: "Actually, I think not abandoning dogs and being a qualified dog owner is also a factor in preventing too many stray dogs."

"Officer Lu, you are absolutely right." Bai Xiaolan has a special say in this: "In fact, the source of stray dogs mainly comes from the abandonment of dog owners. Only when everyone does not abandon their own dogs can we get rid of the root causes.

to alleviate the sharp increase in the number of stray dogs."

"Since you choose to keep dogs, you should respect life and don't abandon them at will." Photographer Wu Jun was surrounded by several teddy dogs and had to take some shots of them.

"So this is the third solution." Bai Xiaolan said with a smile: "There is another way, which is to adopt instead of buying, to recognize the status of these stray dogs."

"I think the last method is the best." Gu Chen also expressed his opinion, saying: "In this way, caring people like Aunt Chen can also reduce their burden. After all, many stray dogs were once pet dogs.

."

"What the young man said is very good."

At this time, a middle-aged woman wearing a red apron, holding a bucket in one hand and a broom in the other, walked out of the kennel.

"Who are you?" Gu Chen was a little confused.

"I'm a volunteer here, and it's my turn to help here today." The middle-aged woman put down the bucket, wiped her hands on her apron, and took the initiative to say hello: "My name is Xu Lu, I'm glad to meet you."

"Furong Police Station: Gu Chen." Gu Chen also reported his family name.

Later, Xu Lu got to know the others one by one.

Only then did everyone find out that Xu Lu worked in a steel factory in Jiangnan City, and she also had another identity, that is, a volunteer at the Jiangnan Stray Dog Rescue Association.

"The Aunt Chen you are looking for has a leg injury, so the volunteers from our rescue society discussed it and took turns to come here to help. Today is my turn."

When Xu Lu said this, she looked embarrassed: "I just finished cleaning the kennel, and I smell a little bit. Don't be surprised."

"Aunt Xu, you're welcome." Gu Chen said.

Xu Lu also nodded, smiled at Gu Chen and said, "The solutions you just mentioned are all very good, especially the fourth one, adoption instead of purchase."

"However, when many people see stray dogs, they will despise them from the bottom of their hearts, thinking that these Chinese pastoral dogs are too different from pet dogs. In fact, this is not the case. If you know enough about local pastoral dogs, you will find that they are also very good.

, no worse than foreign pet dogs.”

"Yes, I just like Chinese garden dogs." Lu Weiwei also agreed.

Xu Lu took off her apron and hung it on the hook on the wall. She turned around and said, "Actually, we have always advocated adoption instead of purchasing, but there are still many people who would rather spend money to buy a dog than adopt a stray dog.

Because I don’t understand the adopted stray dogs.”

Speaking of this, Xu Lu pointed to one of the black teddy dogs and said: "For example, this black teddy is male. I heard from the volunteers who sent it that the reason why it was abandoned by its owner was because the dog's teeth were not good-looking, and it was a little bit...

Damn it, it’s not the dog’s fault that the teeth are ugly, no one is perfect, let alone the dog?”

Xu Lu was angry when she thought of this, and continued: "Look at it now, isn't it pretty good-looking?"

"I think stray dogs live on their own outside, eating garbage on the roadside, and without the help of their owners to take care of them, without regular deworming and vaccination, etc. They may even be hurt by people, and their personalities will become more ferocious. And many

People are afraid that dogs will suffer from some diseases or have aggressive behavior, so they are unwilling to adopt them." Lu Weiwei also squatted down and touched this docile Teddy.

"The little girl knows a lot." It was rare to find someone who agreed with her point of view, and Xu Lu was also very happy.

In fact, many stray dogs are impure dogs, or some Chinese pastoral dogs, and after wandering outside for a period of time, there must be certain changes in their appearance.

Generally speaking, stray dogs are definitely not as good-looking as dogs that are taken care of. However, many people certainly hope that their dogs can be more beautiful and clean, so they would rather spend money to buy them than adopt them for free.

In addition, whether it is a purchased dog or an adopted stray dog, it needs to be taken care of and cared for carefully by the owner, otherwise, no matter how good-looking the dog is, it will only become a mess.

Coupled with all kinds of vanity...
