Blog 6 – News support

  There is the data about animals abandoned in Hong Kong. “The Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) handles between 5,000- 7,000 stray dogs annually. In 2011, the department handled 5,800 stray dogs and 3,557 stray cats; 852 dogs and 205 cats were re-homed through animal welfare organisations. The majority of stray animals are put down if homes cannot be found for them.” (2015, SPCA) That is shows the problems of animals abandoned are so seriously in Hong Kong. However, I do not agree that the pet of abandoned pass it to the SPCA. They cannot take care all the pets in SPCA for the long time. They will put it down if pets cannot find a home. I do not think that is the best way for the pets.

  There are two news about abandoned the dog. First, it is according to the news of Apple Daily News. People found that the dog of Alaskan malamute on the street. Moreover, it has a belt truss up on the railing. That is mean the dog has a host, but the host was missing. Then, people call the police to handle it. The second news is according to Oriental Daily News. People found that four newborn doggies in the ashcan. All babies are still closing the eyes. Then, the finder takes all dog babies to the doctor. The doctor said that they still not enough one week for newborn. Now, they are accepted treatment in the hospital.

  Above all, it can show that the problem of animals abandoned in Hong Kong is so seriously. I want to have some change through my video. Although, it cannot have a big change and save every pets. I want that it can let people do not abandon their pets any more in at least.
