187, a drop in the bucket [ask for a monthly ticket]

Jiangnan City Stray Dog Love Rescue Station.

A vacant lot on the outskirts of the city, a former abandoned farm, was later bought by Aunt Chen and converted into a stray dog rescue station.

The aid station is surrounded by a mixture of earthen walls and barbed wire, and there are several areas inside.

There are many abandoned or homeless stray dogs here, and often no one is willing to adopt, so these stray dogs frequently breed and breed more puppies, and these puppies grow up and become a new batch of stray dogs.

Many people will think that stray dogs will only threaten the survival and safety of human beings, and they are pests of today's society, and they should be killed.

Because they can bite children and spread rabies, only by completely eradicating them can everyone be safe.

The other part of the people feel that stray dogs also have the right to live, although there have been stray dog bite incidents, but can not be generalized, completely eliminate stray dogs.

Nowadays, there are more and more people who have pets, especially dogs, and many people not only treat them as pets, but also as children.

In fact, many people must have seen stray dogs on the street, and more than once.

Knotted hair, innocent eyes, thin body, dirty face, and always foraging for food......

Many people wonder where there are so many stray dogs in the city, what is the origin of stray dogs, why are more and more stray dogs appearing on the streets, and is there a need for stray dogs to survive?

In fact, it is not difficult to find that although many dogs will meet a good owner, there are still some dogs that will be discarded as stray dogs.

They spend a long time shuttling through the dark alleys and alleys looking for leftover food by the dirty garbage cans, just to find some food to satisfy their stomachs.

And the stray dogs that are fed by people will wait for people to put food on the ground, and people will not dare to eat until they are far away.

In many places, if you observe carefully, you will find that stray dogs are not limited to Chinese pastoral dogs, but also some breeds of dogs.

For example, Golden Retriever, Teddy, Samoyed, etc......

Some of their fur has condensed, the color of their coat is no longer visible, and some of them are still clean.

Some of these dogs were abandoned because they were sick, some were lost and lived on the streets, and some were discarded because humans didn't have time or energy, just a momentary favor......

This is also one of the reasons for the increase in stray dogs.

When Officer Wang drove the car to the door of the aid station, a Demu who was chained was roaring wildly at him, and next to Demu were several golden retrievers, relatively docile, lying on the ground and looking lazily outside.

After Officer Wang found an open place to park the car, he took a black bag in his hand, pointed to the signboard of "Jiangnan City Stray Dog Love Rescue Station" and said: "This is the destination we are coming to today, although it is a little noisy, after all, I heard that there are more than 300 stray dogs in it, and those who are not locked will not bite." ”

Gu Chen nodded slightly: "Except for that Demu." ”

"Demu is used to watch the door, there is a chain lock, and it must have a certain aggressiveness. Officer Wang walked up a few steps, glanced at the free-range dogs in the yard inside, and continued: "The ones inside are better, they are all small dogs, there is no aggressive nature, generally the stray dogs that have just been sent here will be quarantined for a month, and when they are completely adapted to the environment here, they can be released after vaccination." ”

Officer Wang also said what he knew.

Gu Chen looked in through the iron bar......

It seemed that there were no stray dogs in it, but the management staff didn't see it, and couldn't help but be curious: "How much does it cost to raise hundreds of stray dogs this day?"

"This is one of the difficulties in adopting stray dogs. Officer Wang opened the unlocked iron door and yelled at Demu a few times, Demu immediately relented and went back to his kennel to continue to observe secretly.

A few golden retrievers were still looking at Officer Wang lazily, and their hearts did not fluctuate.

These are guards, and they are generally not used to scare people, but if a stray dog runs out of the compound, it will be scared back by the German pastor.

And to enter the stray dog love rescue center, you have to open an iron door.

Bai Xiaolan took Lu Weiwei's arm.

The two girls are curious about everything here.

Wu Jun carried the camera, first took pictures of the signboard at the door, and then walked in.

"There are more than 300 stray dogs in this rescue station alone, but the number of stray dogs in our Jiangnan urban area is far more than that. Officer Wang walked at the forefront, and couldn't help but say: "At present, the number of stray dogs in our country is as high as 40 million, and such a huge number is indeed difficult to centrally manage, and it is a hot potato for anyone or rescue agency." ”

"Isn't that a matter of necessity?" Gu Chen was also very concerned about this.

Officer Wang waved his hand and said, "It's not that there is nothing to be done, in fact, there are many rich experiences in foreign countries, and it is also worth learning from." ”

"That's right. Lu Weiwei also interjected: "If Aunt Chen is only generous by herself, it will undoubtedly be a drop in the bucket, even if you rely on caring people to raise donations, facing so many stray dogs every day, even if you can barely maintain your operation, then what about other stray dogs? It is impossible to only pay attention to these more than 300, after all, the number of stray dogs in Jiangnan City is actually far more than that." ”

"When I traveled abroad, I saw something that worked. Bai Xiaolan took Lu Weiwei's hand and said.

"Is there anything special about this?" Gu Chen didn't know too much about this.

"Of course, there are, there are generally four ways to deal with the problem of stray dogs abroad, one is to use a combination of public and private rescue. After thinking for a few seconds, Bai Xiaolan continued: "Developed countries generally use public rescue centers and private rescue agencies to solve the problem of stray dogs. ”

"In terms of results, it is indeed very effective, but this method needs to involve more people because of the funding. ”

Officer Wang also said: "The method is good, but there are certain obstacles to our implementation, because the public is unwilling to take care of it, and the people are unwilling to pay, and over time, the number of stray dogs will increase year by year." ”

"So there's a second way. Bai Xiaolan suddenly smiled mysteriously: "That is, after centralized management, these dogs will be sterilized in a unified manner, which can control rabies after unified management, and also have a good monitoring effect on the number of stray dogs." ”

Seeing Gu Chen holding his chin as if he didn't understand, Bai Xiaolan smiled at Gu Chen and said, "In foreign countries, countries that have established stray dog rescue centers rarely see stray dogs and emergency rabies epidemics on the road. ”

Gu Chen also found out that Bai Xiaolan was talking to him, so he said "um" and answered: "This method is really good, I suggest that your TV station take this opportunity to publicize more and give advice to relevant departments." ”

A few lame Chinese pastoral dogs, as well as a small black teddy, after seeing a few people walk in, they naturally came over to get close.

Lu Weiwei smiled and said: "Actually, I think not abandoning dogs and being a qualified dog owner is also a factor in avoiding too many stray dogs." ”

"Officer Lu, you're so right. Bai Xiaolan has a special say in this: "In fact, the source of stray dogs mainly comes from the abandonment of dog owners, and only if everyone does not abandon their own dogs, can the number of stray dogs increase dramatically from the root." ”

"Since you choose to have dogs, you should respect life and don't abandon them at will. Photographer Wu Jun was surrounded by several teddies and had to take some pictures of them.

"So that's the third solution. Bai Xiaolan smiled and said: "There is another way, which is to adopt instead of buying, and recognize the status of these stray dogs." ”

"I think the last method is the best. Gu Chen also expressed his opinion, and said: "In this way, caring people like Aunt Chen can also reduce their burden, after all, many stray dogs used to be pet dogs." ”

"The lad said it very well. ”

At this time, a middle-aged woman wearing a red apron, carrying a bucket in one hand and a broom in the other, came out of the kennel.

"Who are you?" Gu Chen was a little embarrassed.

"I'm a volunteer here, and it's my turn to help today. The middle-aged woman put down the bucket, wiped her hand on her apron, and took the initiative to come over to say hello: "My name is Xu Lu, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

"Furong Police Station: Gu Chen. Gu Chen also reported to his family.

Subsequently, Xu Lu got to know the others one by one.

Only then did everyone know that Xu Lu worked in a steel factory in Jiangnan City, and she had another identity, that is, a volunteer of the Jiangnan Stray Dog Rescue Association.

"Aunt Chen, who you are looking for, has a leg injury, so the volunteers of our rescue club discussed and took turns to come here to help, and today it was my turn. ”

Xu Lu said this, with a look of embarrassment: "I just finished cleaning the kennel, and my body is a little stinky, don't be surprised." ”

"Aunt Xu is polite. Gu Chen said.

Xu Lu also nodded, smiled at Gu Chen and said, "The solutions you just said are all very good, especially the fourth one, which is to adopt instead of buying. ”

However, many people see stray dogs, will be contemptuous from the heart, thinking that these Chinese pastoral dogs and pet dogs are too different, in fact, if you know enough about local pastoral dogs, you will find that they are also very good, no worse than foreign pet dogs. ”

"Yes, I like Chinese pastoral dogs. Lu Weiwei also agreed.

Xu Lu took off the apron, hung it on the hook of the wall, turned around and said: "Actually, we have always advocated adopting instead of buying, but there are still many people who would rather spend money to buy a dog than adopt a stray dog, or because they don't know about the adopted stray dog." ”

Speaking of this, Xu Lu pointed to one of the black teddies and said: "For example, this black teddy, male, I heard from the volunteers who sent it that the reason for being ruthlessly abandoned by the owner is that the dog's teeth are not good-looking, a bit of a sky, but it is not the dog's fault that the teeth are ugly, no one is perfect, let alone a dog?"

Xu Lu was also angry when he thought of this, and continued: "Look at the present, isn't it very good-looking." ”

"I think stray dogs survive on their own outside, eat garbage on the side of the road, and have no owner to help take care of it, no regular deworming and vaccination, etc., and even will be hurt by people, and the character has become more ferocious, and many people will be afraid that the dog will suffer from some diseases, or there will be aggressive behavior, so they are reluctant to adopt. Lu Weiwei also squatted down and touched the docile teddy.

"The little girl knows a lot. It is rare to have someone who agrees with her own point of view, and Xu Lu is also very happy.

In fact, many stray dogs are impure dogs, or some Chinese pastoral dogs, and after wandering outside for a period of time, there must be certain changes in appearance.

Generally speaking, stray dogs are certainly not as good-looking as dogs that are cared for, but many people certainly want their dogs to be more beautiful and clean, so they would rather spend money to buy them than adopt them for free.

And whether it is a purchased dog or an adopted stray dog, it needs to be carefully taken care of and cared for by the owner, otherwise no matter how good-looking the dog is, it will only become a mess.

Add to that all sorts of vanity......

Some people raise dogs for their own face.

I feel that the more purebred and expensive the dog I buy, the more face it will be to take the dog out.

And stray dogs are free to receive, unable to show their status symbols, unable to hang face, for people with this kind of thinking, naturally will not be willing to adopt stray dogs.

Add to that some stray dogs, which are usually abandoned by their owners after they have grown up, then they already have their own owners in their hearts.

If you meet a new owner after adoption, you may not have a relationship of trust, and you may not be very willing to approach the new owner, and it will not be easy to raise in terms of breeding.

And if it is a purchased dog, it is generally raised by itself since childhood, and it is more obedient and easy to raise.

If you look down on stray dogs, how can you be willing to adopt?

Gu Chen naturally knew these truths, but looking at a large group of barking stray dogs, it was indeed a bit big, and many of them were still disabled dogs.

"Aunt Chen, someone has come to see you. Xu Lu yelled a few times into the square room.

"Got it. A response was quickly heard from the room.

It didn't take long for a tall middle-aged woman to limp out of front of her.

"This is Aunt Chen. Xu Lu introduced to everyone.

In fact, Gu Chen, Officer Wang and others had checked the information of Aunt Chen, who was owed by Lao Lai, in advance, so they naturally knew that this was Aunt Chen.

can look 1.73 meters and be burly, which is something that no one expected.

"Aunt Chen is so strong!" Lu Weiwei couldn't help but exclaim.

I am also 168 tall, but standing in front of Aunt Chen, I feel a little petite.

"Hello Aunt Chen, we are the police of the Furong Police Station, my name is Gu Chen, these are my colleagues, and the staff of the TV station......"

Gu Chen introduced everyone's identities to Aunt Chen one by one.

Aunt Chen smiled and said, "You called me in advance and said that you would come over today, I originally thought it would be noon or afternoon, but I didn't expect you to come so early." ”

"Serve the people sooner or later, Aunt Chen, that old Zhu owes you money, and we have helped you get it back. Lu Weiwei took the black bag from Officer Wang and opened the zipper of the bag.

Suddenly, a dozen dozen bills lit up in front of me.

Aunt Chen wiped her tears and said, "It's been a few years, and there is no news of this old Zhu, and I can't get this money back, but I didn't expect that today, a few years later, your police can help me recover this batch of arrears, thank you so much." ”

"Aunt Chen is polite. Gu Chen also stepped forward to comfort.

Wu Jun carried the camera and recorded all these shots.

Bai Xiaolan took the microphone and handed it over: "We know that Aunt Chen is a caring person, and she has spent a lot of savings for this stray dog love rescue station, so do you think your loving behavior will be recognized by others?"

Aunt Chen suddenly fell silent......

After a pause, he reacted: "Actually, the resistance is quite large." ”

Wu Jun hurriedly changed his position and continued to aim at Aunt Chen.

"So what exactly are the resistances?" Bai Xiaolan continued.

"Generally speaking, there are some people who are very opposed to our advocacy of rescuing stray dogs, thinking that we are all 'dog lovers', thinking that we only have dogs in our eyes, never filial piety to our parents, and treat dogs as ancestors, and are a group of people with IQ problems. ”

Bai Xiaolan couldn't help but laugh twice, but she still quickly adjusted her state: "Yes, these people are indeed a little extreme." ”

Aunt Chen shook her head helplessly: "In fact, at present, the development of our animal rescue station is not perfect, almost all the rescue stations are overloaded, and the people of the people are also powerless, because the number of stray animals is too large, we also want to contribute to the city of life, do not ask for more understanding, but please don't spray indiscriminately." ”

The interview went well......

The camera not only recorded the return of arrears from the Furong Police Station, relieved the urgent need of Aunt Chen of the stray dog love rescue station, but also learned some about the root cause of the problem of stray dogs from the mouth of this caring person.

Bai Xiaolan felt that the harvest was slow, and following Gu Chen out on a mission, she could always harvest a lot of unexpected things.

Subsequently, Aunt Chen and Xu Lu took Gu Chen and others to visit the entire stray dog love rescue center, so that everyone could understand how hard they had worked to operate the rescue station over the years.

Facing the camera, Aunt Chen also sent out an invitation, inviting more volunteers to join the team and contribute to the problem of stray dogs in Jiangnan City.

Looking at the time, it was already 11 a.m.

Aunt Chen asked, "Why don't you stay for lunch, and I'll cook the dishes for you myself." ”

"Aunt Chen's craftsmanship is good. Xu Lu couldn't help but look forward to it: "If it weren't for Aunt Chen's skills, I wouldn't have been so active here to participate in the volunteers." ”

"Hehe, that's embarrassing. Lu Weiwei touched her rumbling belly, duplicitous.

Since it was very easy to leave in the morning, everyone had breakfast at six o'clock, so now the stomach is also empty.

"You policemen have come all the way to send me arrears, and it is not too much for you to invite you to dinner, right? Just listen to me, everyone stay, eat, and I still hope that your police and TV stations can help me publicize more." "Aunt Chen is also showing her enthusiasm at the moment.

Everyone looked at Officer Wang at the same time.

Officer Wang smiled and said, "That's okay, it's rare for Aunt Chen to be enthusiastic, so let's stay for a meal." ”

In fact, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei both understand that the rice can be eaten, but everyone will give the food money silently, and they will not take advantage of Aunt Chen.

A few people walked into the house laughing.

At this moment, outside the stray dog love rescue center, an old box truck is steadily parked at the gate......
