First, abandoning pets will bring harm to pets. Pets are emotional lives, and they have deep attachment and trust to their owners. When their owners suddenly abandon them, they will feel great fear, loneliness and despair, and even have behaviors such as depression and self-harm. Stray pets have to face various difficulties such as hunger, cold, disease and abuse, and many of them cannot survive.
For example, a dog named Xiaobai was abandoned by its owner on the expressway. It waited for its owner to come back, refused to leave even if it was hit by a car, and finally bled to death. There are many such examples, all of which show how deeply abandoned pets hurt pets.
Second, abandoning pets will bring you trouble. Abandoning pets is not only immoral, but also illegal. According to Article 264 of the Criminal Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), "those who intentionally mistreat animals shall be detained for less than 10 days or fined less than 500 yuan; If the circumstances are serious, they shall be detained for more than 10 and less than 15, and fined for more than 2,000 yuan in 500 yuan. " Therefore, if you are found or reported to have abandoned pets, you may face legal sanctions and punishment.
In addition, abandoning pets will also bring moral condemnation and psychological burden to yourself. If people around you know or are exposed by the internet to abandon their pets, they may be accused and abused by public opinion, and even be searched by human flesh or personally attacked. If you still have a little conscience and kindness, you may feel guilty and regret for your actions, and even affect your normal life and work.
Third, abandoning pets will bring harm to society. Abandoning pets will not only affect themselves and their pets, but also affect society. Stray pets may spread diseases, affect traffic, disturb people and pollute the environment. All these will increase the burden and risk to the society and affect the social order and security.
For example, if stray cats and dogs are not vaccinated regularly, they may carry bacteria and parasites such as rabies virus and spread them to humans or other animals through bites or excreta. If stray cats and dogs are not sterilized in time, the number may increase sharply and may conflict with other animals or prey, thus destroying the ecological balance. If stray cats and dogs are not supervised, they may defecate or litter everywhere, and make noisy noises or unpleasant smells, thus polluting the environment and affecting the quality of life of residents.
How to deal with unwanted pets correctly Now we know that abandoning pets is a wrong and dangerous behavior, which has a lot of harm. So how do we deal with unwanted pets correctly? In fact, there is no fixed answer, because everyone has their own reasons for encountering difficulties or changing their minds. We need to respect the choice of ourselves and our pets and try to find the most suitable solution.
Below I will give some common and effective ways to deal with unwanted pets correctly:
Transfer to relatives and friends: If relatives and friends are willing to accept and feed your unwanted pets responsibly, then this is a good choice. You can tell them what you know about pets and what you want, and keep in touch so as to keep abreast of how your old pets are getting along in your new family. Foster care in a professional institution: If no relatives or friends are willing to accept your unwanted pet, you can foster care in a professional institution or volunteer group. They can provide professional and humanized services to help you find a suitable new owner. Donate to a non-profit organization: If you don't want to have anything to do with the pet you don't want, then you can donate it to a non-profit organization or the Animal Protection Association. They can accept and protect your old pets and try their best to find a home for them.
