Of course, Reyna is joking, in fact, Germany is extremely strict with dog management, dog owners have to walk their dogs three times a day, at least 1 hour each time, and the government that does not meet the standards will send professionals to walk your dog for you, the cost is 10 euros each time, and if you don't dispose of your dog's feces during the dog walk, you will be fined a lot of money.

However, there is really no good way for dogs to eat feces, unless it is to carry out strict refusal training like a police dog, or let the dog with signs of eating feces form a habit of defecating outdoors, and put a muzzle on it every time he goes out to walk the dog, although this will wronged the bohemian and free dog, but it is better than licking the owner's face after eating feces, it is too hurtful......

Rena took Zhang Zi'an to visit the store and answered some of his questions from time to time.

Zhang Zi'an's biggest impression is that the pet supplies in this store are too complete, and there are more than a dozen styles to choose from for each purpose, such as a kennel, or even dozens of them, covering almost any needs of customers.

Rows of shelves gradually come to an end, and in front of them is a pet display and sales area.

The first thing that catches your eye is the rabbit, a row of custom rabbit cages with wooden skeletons embedded in glass house several rabbits, including lop rabbits, angora rabbits, white rabbits, spotted rabbits, Dutch dwarf rabbits, etc., each rabbit has its own rabbit cage. The bottom of the cage is covered with thick hay, and a ball of grass for the rabbits is placed in a round food basin, and there is a delicate wooden rabbit hutch next to it.

On the front of each rabbit cage is a description of the species, habits and feeding methods of the rabbits in the cage - although Zhang Zi'an does not understand these Germans, he can guess the general meaning from the pictures.

He walked over to the nearest rabbit cage to take a closer look, which contained a lilac Dutch dwarf rabbit, small in size, round and cute. It was eating grass, its eyes rolled to Zhang Zi'an for a moment, and it ran into the rabbit hutch with a small jump.

When he got closer, he found that the cage was not covered with ordinary hay, but scattered golden oat grass, and the green grass in the food bowl was also oat grass, with a rich milky aroma.

When he saw these rabbits, he thought of the little celery, and he couldn't help but glance around the store, and found that there were very few children and teenagers among the few customers, and even if there were, they were accompanied by adults.

Regardless of children, shouldn't teenagers who are in their rebellious period hate going out shopping with their parents?

He threw the question to Rena.

Pointing to a few lines near the price list on the rabbit cage, Reyna explained that due to the provisions of the animal protection law, teenagers under the age of 16 are not allowed to buy pets in Germany, and teenagers over the age of 16 must be accompanied by a guardian to buy pets, and must know the knowledge of keeping pets, even if adults buy pets, they must first understand the knowledge of breeding.

In particular, she pointed out that in Germany, pets are not suitable as surprises, and must be informed before they are purchased and gifted, and are non-refundable and non-exchangeable after sale.

Zhang Zi'an also encountered a similar situation in his daily business, for example, Liu Sanlang wanted to buy a puppy to win Shishi's surprise and favor, but he didn't know if Shishi would leave the puppy, so he discussed with Zhang Zi'an with a dead face, if Shishi didn't accept the puppy, he hoped to return the puppy. This happens from time to time, and it is not an isolated incident.

If it is changed to Germany, Liu Sanlang must inform Shishi before buying a puppy, and he can only buy it after getting Shishi's consent.

Zhang Zi'an asked suspiciously: "If you don't like it after buying it, and you can't return it, won't it aggravate the phenomenon of abandoning pets?"

Rena explained that in Germany, there are heavy penalties for abandoning pets or failing to provide them with a suitable living space, which is why stray animals are rarely seen on the streets of Germany.

She smiled: "I was surprised when I saw you leading Pemmas in just now, because it is rare to see such a wonderful German pastor even in Germany, I guess it is probably impossible to adopt, and it is impossible for any owner to abandon such a wonderful dog, so I asked you where you bought it." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Zi'an suddenly noticed that there were no cats and dogs in this area where small mammals were displayed and sold, so he asked, "Didn't I see that you sell cats and dogs here, on the second floor?"

"It's a pity. Reyna shrugged, "We don't sell cats and dogs here. ”

"Why?" Zhang Zi'an asked in surprise. Pet stores don't sell cats and dogs? What kind of pet store is this?

Some pet stores in China that do not sell pets mainly provide services such as pet grooming, but as long as pet stores sell pets, they will at least account for the same number of cats and dogs......

"Because the law doesn't allow it. Reyna shook her head helplessly, "Germans believe that animals with feelings like cats and dogs should not be trafficked, so 90% of cats and dogs in Germany are adopted." ”

"But you are still selling monkeys...... Zhang Zi'an raised his hand and pointed to the monkey cage not far away, indicating that he did not understand the brain circuits of the Germans, "Selling monkeys and not cats and dogs, don't monkeys as close relatives of humans have feelings?"

"You can only tell the lawmaker about this. Reyna smiled wryly, "Of course, there are also places in Germany that sell cats and dogs, which are farms approved by the government. The Dog Breeding Act has strict regulations on the construction standards of the farm, the time for each dog to rest and exercise. As a pet store, it costs too much money to meet those standards, so we simply don't breed or sell cats and dogs, and there are other pets to sell anyway. ”

Rena gave a general introduction to the current situation of the adoption and sale of cats and dogs in Germany - the price of buying a dog will not be less than 1,500 euros, even if it is adopted, it will cost two or three hundred euros, and then there will be an additional four or five hundred euros a year in taxes and insurance, and the monthly cost of raising cats and dogs is almost 100 euros...... Pet owners have to pay a lot of money, and if they can't keep their pet due to illness, bankruptcy, etc., they have to pay a lot of money to send their pet to the shelter.

As for the pet's quiet abandonment, which is a great risk, the police will find the abandoner through the chip implanted in the pet's body, and what awaits him will be tens of thousands of euros in fines and detention......

The high price ensures that people think twice before getting a pet, so as not to lose their wives and soldiers.

Zhang Zi'an sighed, no wonder few dogs seen on the street are particularly purebred, it turns out that Germany has really basically achieved adoption instead of purchase - but this is not completely dependent on people's consciousness, but on the restrictions of the law.

Even in a country like Germany, which is at the forefront of the world in pet protection, there is no such thing as "free" adoption, and people do not value what is free.
