Reasons for overpopulation and abuse of street animals
Introduction
Do you know how many animals are left in the streets a day in a single country? With this essay we intend to explain and public all over the world.
This with the purpose of emphasizing a current problem very frequently worldwide, we want to raise awareness and imply that this is a serious problem and it is not only what we see every day by day. This problem is about the overpopulation and abuse of street animals, this is very seen currently thanks to different factors, which could be cruelty, abandonment of animals and even recruit animals for clandestine fights.
Development of the problem
Currently, in the world there is a problem that brings many negative factors that affect the development society, this problem is that of free ambulance animals, that is, street animals. Only in Colombia the figure of abandoned animals in the streets or that are born there is an average of 900.000, if only that is in our country, you can imagine how many could be worldwide, a cat or dog along with its young throughout its life and offspring, it has the ability to give birth to 67.000 new young, even the animals that live in the streets despite their bad health conditions. There are many factors when knowing why there are so many animals of free ambulance, some of them can be:
- Abandonment
- Cruelty
- Diseases
- Age
- Among other
The fact that these animals are abandoned is considered animal abuse, this is a cruel and immoral act, thousands of abandonments occur every day in the world.
Many of the reasons why these animals are abandoned is for reasons such as:
- They do not have their own house
- The animal has 2 months or more age
- For diseases
- Lack of resources to take care of these animals
The majority of the owners who abandon these animals are almost always in favor of euthanasia and that is why many of these animals instead of being abandoned, end up in kennels or shelters where in a short time, if they are not adopted, They will be sacrificed.
Another of the many causes for which these animals suffer from abandonment is that they have diseases, is a high variable, since many people would refuse to take care of a pet with diseases, however, they are not to blame, since the owners On average the only vaccine that puts your pets is the vaccine of rabies and clearly these animals need many more care than a simple vaccine.
Animals can have many more diseases than rage, examples could be:
- Leptospirosis
- Anylostomiasis
- Larva Migrans
- Erliquiasis
- Brucellosis
- Cestodiosis
- Among other
These diseases can clearly affect their owners, but what almost always happens is that the owners for not having sufficient resources or wanting to save the money for the treatments that these diseases require, end up letting the disease progress, making the pet A carrier of a communicable disease, which is why many families resort to the abandonment or delivery of pets to the kennels, especially families who have babies or young children who are the most unprotected in front of this.
It is worth mentioning another important factor with respect to the issue that is being treated, it is that street animals, apart from the fact that they have a free ambulance, can also defecate and urinate anywhere, this suddenly becomes annoying for people who go through the Streets and come or step on dog or cat and can become a problem for complaints, that is where shelters or dog that collect dogs that in the end are not adopted, they will be asleep through euthanasia.
Dogs are currently put in an image that they are violent animals or that certain races are violent by nature which is completely absurd, since no animal race is violent because yes, most street animals that are violent are Because they were educated in that way, many complaints have been filed about cats or dogs, especially dogs, that bite or hurt young children or people, suddenly this action becomes the fault of the animal even knowing that he was educated that way, but People have no remorse in this and decide to notify the authorities who immediately decide to force the animal with a buzal or different devices that prevent them from biting or directly sacrifice them.
conclusion
Finally, it is expected to generate in people a reflection on how these animals suffer thanks to the large number of them in the streets, the diseases they have, the hunger that spend every day and the abuse they suffer from the people who do not They think of their pain, it is expected that we can make society see the problem so serious that we are exposing so that they can help correct this problem together.
