China News Service, June 4th, according to the European Union quoted the European Union News Agency, on the 3rd local time, the Italian Animal Rights Protection Alliance said that affected by the new crown epidemic, the income of the people has shrunk, which directly caused the decline in the welfare of pets. The coalition recommended that the government include pet adoption in the National Economic Promotion Act, and provide financial support and relief to families with financial difficulties in keeping pets.
According to reports, the Italian Animal Rights Protection Union suggested that the government should provide one-time pet subsidies for registered dogs and pet cat owners, with a subsidy of 200 euros per dog and 100 euros per cat. This measure is mainly aimed at poor families to help them take care of pets even in times of economic crisis.
In addition, the organization also recommended that government departments should give one-time rewards to those who adopt pets, and issue them in the form of pet breeding shopping vouchers. However, these rewards are only for consumption of pet food, medical examination of pets and other pet-related expenses.
The chairman of the Italian Animal Rights Protection Union Benati pointed out that since the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, the alliance has handled more than 15,000 pet requests for help. After the epidemic, pet welfare will continue to be affected, pet abuse may occur frequently, and stray dogs and cats may also increase. (Lin Zhuqing)
