A British owner was walking his dog by the river when he suddenly saw a black car parked in front. Someone got out of the car, threw an item into the river, and then turned around and left.
The dog walker stepped forward and discovered that the cat that was thrown into the river was actually an orange cat. It was struggling pitifully in the cold water. The dog walker noticed that it was thrown in the center of the river, some distance away from the river bank. It seemed that the person who abandoned it wanted it to die.
A kind-hearted dog walker managed to fish the orange cat out before it drowned. The poor orange cat was then taken to a veterinary clinic and relevant authorities were notified.
After examination, it was found that the long-haired orange cat was about 2 years old, malnourished, with brittle hair, dirty body, and parasites and fleas. Apparently its owner had no intention of keeping it properly in the first place.
The dog walker expressed indignation at the abandonment. Based on the clues obtained, the local area is investigating the black car the dog walker witnessed and the real culprit of the abandoned cat.
Due to the orange cat’s health condition, the veterinarian shaved off the messy hair on its body and gave it a small red dress to protect it from the cold. It now looks aggrieved and a little funny, but everyone knows that it is fine.
Some people abandoned their pets, while others rescued them on the spot. The contrast in behavior was so stark. Why do some owners regret their own choice to keep pets, and then cruelly abandon them?
Raising pets on a whim
Many people, especially younger owners, have no idea about raising pets. They think that as long as they feed them food and water, and look at their cute pets every day, that is all there is to raising pets. However, when the pets arrive, they will realize that these cute little guys have tempers, can urinate and defecate, and can get sick, and are not rag dolls used as props in playing house. The initial love will soon turn into disgust, and the pets will soon become a burden in their hearts, and they will eventually be abandoned.
Lack of sufficient conditions
Pet-raising is a hobby that requires money and energy. Some owners have not considered the cost of pets before raising them, let alone spending a certain amount of time with them and taking care of them every day. After actually starting to breed, the owners' first thought was to get rid of this troublesome guy because they were unable to spend enough time and money.
Free-range pets are not spayed or neutered
It is also common for free-range pets to be spayed or neutered. Many pets are walking in front of their homes, or they get lost, or are stolen and taken away. Some pets are pregnant, and their owners will try to get rid of them when they see that they cannot afford to keep them.
Living status is unstable
Students and newcomers to the workplace who have just graduated and started working have no fixed place to live, so they want to keep pets. As a result, when encountering changes such as business trips, winter and summer vacations, job changes, and moving, pets that are unattended and inconvenient to carry will be thrown away.
Buying "weekly cats and dogs" and "backyard cats and dogs" by mistake
The domestic pet market is relatively chaotic. Many friends do not have good pet purchasing channels, and they accidentally buy "weekly cats and dogs" and "backyard cats and dogs". Some have genetic defects, and some have not been vaccinated. Signs of illness often appear soon after coming home, and most of them are difficult-to-treat diseases. Many owners feel there is no hope of cure and will abandon them, and this abandonment often occurs near pet hospitals.
Lack of adequate understanding of pets
The reasons why some people abandon their pets are very simple: tearing up the house, barking, scratching, being aggressive, and not being properly raised.
Most pets are not gifted and require the owner's patience and correct training. Don't place too much hope on the pet's own personality and IQ. Even if it is as smart as a human, it will go astray if it does not receive education, let alone an animal.
In fact, after saying so much, I can sum it up in one sentence: Do your homework before raising a pet, and be responsible for it after raising a pet. I hope everyone can be a good owner from beginning to end.
