Last week during my usual routine in the morning, waiting for bus in bus interchange, I saw this small black kitten lurking around, looking very puny and fragile. Navigating in between shoes, looking for something to eat on the floor, it invited many stares.
It's not an usual sight in public area, because stray animals are not really welcomed here.
If it was a stray puppy, that is even more rare.
Yes, we hardly ever seen stray dogs around residental area, but they can be found in less urban aka those places a distance away from the city. On the pros, it's probably good for the environment and hygiene as animals can sometimes be destructive and make a mess. But have you seen animal categorized as human species making mess? How do they score compared to dogs? On the cons, where does all the stray animals go?
Put for adoption, yes, euthanize, yes, cull when there is a disease outbreak, yes.
Why is it hard to find home for dogs? Because you are not suppose to keep big dogs in apartment, unless it's condominium or landed house. Why? Don't ask me.
For apartment, only small dogs are allowed. Ironically, majority of dogs for adoption found in animal shelter are big dogs, because thet are abandoned by their owners who stay in condominium and landed house. How many percent people living in apartment here? Majority, and there are many candidates to provide good home for their dogs, or big dogs. But they can't.
Every time I pay a visit to animal shelter, almost all of the dogs put up for adoption are illegal to be put in apartment.
So, there goes the hopes. For the dogs. For lives.
