Chapter 0140 - Self-sufficiency - 2
Zhongshan is a large metropolis with a population of more than 10 million.
Even if only one in ten, one in twenty, or even less than a percentage of people have pets, the number of pets will be a very large number.
And even if only one percent of them are abandoned, the number of small animals wandering out of the country will be staggering over time, combined with natural breeding.
These stray animals not only pose a certain threat to the public, but also cause car accidents and may even spread diseases when they run around on the road.
Therefore, every once in a while, the relevant management agencies will carry out a certain degree of "clean-up" to reduce the stray animals wandering in the urban area.
It may sound cruel, but from different angles, the way of looking at the problem is different, and the approach of the relevant governing bodies is understandable.
Even Sun Yat-sen University is an area that is not suitable for pets.
Thousands of abandoned pets are cleared every year, not to mention other densely populated areas.
The statement of "self-sufficiency" put forward by Eryi made Stationmaster Fan's eyes light up, which was a problem that had plagued him for a long time.
Although he himself also runs some small businesses, he has to invest tens of thousands of yuan in the rescue base every year to barely maintain the operation of the rescue base, and he is really unable to expand the scale of rescue and help more stray animals.
And if, as Eryi said, the rescue base can be operated self-sufficiently, not to expand the scale of the rescue base, but at least to improve some existing conditions.
"I have some immature ideas, put them forward for you to see if they can be successful, suitable or not. ”
Er Yi first said politely, and then began to talk eloquently: "You probably know it through the live broadcast, I know some skills for training pets." ”
"Suppose we can train these dogs to perform like those circus animals, can we take them to various residential areas in the city to perform and charge a certain fee for the performance?"
Or the Songxi Mountain base will be transformed into a special, fixed performance venue, in the form of a pet park or parent-child park, into a business place similar to a pet café, and even in the future, some pet fostering, pet training, pet food processing, pet hospitals and other businesses can be introduced. ”
"Of course, I'm just imagining this, whether it can be done or not can be studied more carefully, but the purpose of saying this means that I don't want to be profitable in the early stage, at least let the dogs work on their own and earn dog food to support themselves!"
Er Yi diverged his thoughts, and after speaking quickly, he said slowly: "Of course, it is best if you can make a profit, because once you have a certain income, you can improve the living conditions of the dogs, and at the same time, you can also have the ability to shelter more stray pets!"
"In addition, I think the rescue base does not need to be limited to counting on donations from caring people, and it can also develop various profitable projects!
"For example, take the initiative to take the dogs to perform in nursing homes, kindergartens and other places, and after becoming famous, further contact those businesses with publicity needs, and when they need to celebrate their openings and anniversaries, bring the 'dog circus' to the door for commercial performances?"
"Anyway, it costs money for them to invite some Shogirls to warm up, and there are no bosses willing to try to invite a 'dog circus' to gather crowds and attract popularity?
Er Yi laughed and said: "And we 'have a bigger scale and wear less', unless it is needed by the show, we usually don't even wear clothes!"
Not to mention Stationmaster Fan, the Shu Meizi and Fat Tiger next to them, plus the audience in the live broadcast room are sweating!
Are you trying to rob someone else's little sister from her business?
And what the hell is your "bigger scale, less wear"?
If other businesses really dare to preheat the publicity as you say, it is estimated that the audience who came to see the young lady show her thighs will be beaten to death on the spot, right?
Don't say it, Eryi's hypothetical idea really moved Stationmaster Fan's heart, but before he could ask questions, Eryi continued to speak.
"Also, Stationmaster Fan, you have cooperated with several restaurants before, and the way to collect food waste is quite good, why don't you expand it a little? If there is plenty of food, wouldn't you be able to take in more stray pets?"
"Even if some restaurants don't want to give food waste to the rescue base for nothing, you can buy it from them at a certain cost, right? I remember seeing it before, people would collect food waste from restaurants to feed pigs?"
Er Yi said strangely: "In this case, it's cheaper than spending money directly to buy all kinds of ingredients in the market, right?" It stands to reason that the dogs in the base should not be so squeamish, and they can't eat those leftovers, right?"
"It's not that the dogs are too squeamish, it's that the restaurant is too troublesome!"
"You also know that animals can't eat food that is too heavy in oil and salt, otherwise it will be bad for the stomach and easy to lose hair, so the kitchen waste recovered from the restaurant is not something that can be fed to the dogs, nor can it be fed to them directly, and it has to be reprocessed!"
"Some of the restaurants that have cooperated with the rescue base are opened by my acquaintances and friends, and some are opened by caring people, so I can ask people to take some trouble to simply sort out the food waste when recycling, mainly all kinds of meat and bones, leftovers and the like. ”
Stationmaster Fan smiled bitterly: "After recycling, we have to add water to boil, rinse off the oil and salt, and clean up the mixed fish bones and sundries before feeding them to the dogs." ”
"But if you change to restaurants you don't know, people can't afford to spend energy and time to help you sort and delay your business for so much extra kitchen money. ”
"And we only have such an old few people in the rescue base, and we are usually too busy to do things in the base, both to take care of the dogs and to be busy rescuing those, and people kind people called to inform us of the injured and sick pets that we rescued in the past, and there is really not so much time and energy to collect kitchen waste everywhere, so ......"
Stationmaster Fan shook his head and sighed, "Besides, it's not that we don't want to rescue more stray pets, it's that we don't have that ability at all!"
