"Walk the dog after 8 o'clock, and hit 1 if you come." At East China Normal University, the Small Animal Protection Association organized students to walk the dog every night. Because the activity was too popular, the dog walking places were sold out as soon as they were released. The students laughed and said "Not enough dogs".
According to The Paper, students involved in the protection of small animals must neuter and sterilize their dogs, clean the kennels, and regularly take dogs out for bathing and shaving.
On the North Central Campus of East China Normal University, more than 200 stray cats have been fed, rescued, neutered and adopted.
With the increase in the scale of pets kept by residents, the problem of stray cats and dogs in cities has become increasingly prominent.
Among them, the campus has become a concentration area for stray cats and dogs because of its large green space coverage, friendly living conditions for animals, and more tolerance and care from humans.
These stray cats and dogs may decorate the campus environment, adjust the lives of teachers and students to a certain extent, and even form a unique campus culture, but they also pose hidden dangers to campus safety and environmental sanitation.
How to "coexist" harmoniously between school teachers and students and stray cats and dogs has become an important issue to test the governance of stray cats and dogs.
On the one hand, the overall quality of teachers and students in colleges and universities is high, and they have a high recognition of animal protection, which is undoubtedly more in line with modern civilization; on the other hand, if teachers and students stay in "love" for stray animals, but ignore the disorder of stray cats and dogs The various problems arising from the growth may eventually overwhelm the campus environment and have a negative impact on the long-term protection of stray animals.
Similar to the practice of the East China Normal University Small Animal Protection Association, it is still scarce in China.
Whether it is a campus, a park, or a community, any environment that is conducive to the survival of stray animals in the city is more polarized: some environments allow stray animals to run their course, and there may be some people who like small animals. Feeding spontaneously; in some environments, stray animals are resolutely not allowed to exist, and stray animals are hunted and killed, which not only goes against the civilization concept of animal protection, but in fact is often futile-the reproductive ability of stray animals and the ability to avoid human hunting and killing Often beyond imagination.
Recently, the author lived in a school for a while for work reasons, and I was surprised to find dozens of stray cats living on the small campus.
A person familiar with the situation said that there were not so many stray cats on the campus at the beginning, and it was precisely because the environment was too friendly, coupled with the regular daily feeding of cat lovers, that the number of cats grew rapidly.
On the one hand, it is a picture of people and cats living in harmony on campus, but on the other hand, there are vague concerns: if cats continue to reproduce uncontrollably, especially when people and cats, campus management and cats' survival constitute an irreversible conflict, How to do?
Therefore, to protect stray cats and dogs, we must not only "love" but also properly manage them.
People who like animals should take scientific actions and participate in the management of stray cats and dogs while dedicating their love.
For example, cooperate with the community to raise funds, convene volunteers, organize regular activities, sterilize stray cats and dogs, help stray cats and dogs suitable for adoption find new homes, and promote the concept of "adopting instead of buying".
In this way, the problem of stray animals in cities can be controlled, and the relationship between humans and animals will be more harmonious.
