The problem of treatment of animals in small towns I would raise the issue of treatment of animals in small towns. The problem is large and covers our whole country watched it many times during my trip, but I will use one example.
few weeks ago I had the pleasure to go to Nałęczów. The weather was pretty poor - fell sharply snow, of course, to the frost. Rented room in a house on the outskirts of town. The first of what turned account frozen cat who has benefited from the time when I opened the door to get into that warmth. Milusie creation. I thought - well, probably the owners accidentally forgot about it.
We went for a walk on the linden avenue - one of the prettiest streets Nałęczów. After several steps we saw the little dog running across the street back and forth. Fortunately, at that time nothing was going to happen is not (and cars in general despite the icy streets, drove much too fast). Doggy after a while he ran through the gate. Our interest in him. He sat on the snow, shivering from the cold and a sad mouth stared at a blue plaque with the inscription NHF. After a little thought J. was with pet (which was initially wary, he gradually adjusted the neck to scratch), and I walked into the building. Main corridor led me to a small room in which greeted me with a dozen or so a group of pensioners from zastygniętymi spoons in their hands.
After a while I found a nurse.
- you a visit? - She asked, noting the traces of mud, which left behind
- Not ... I just ... A boy sits in the cold before you ... the practice - I said - you know him?
- What you want it to have it? - It was hard to know whether it was a form of humor or irony
- No, I ask, because I worry about is whether or not the owner ...
- This is a dog one of the patients - responded sharply, clearly disgusted by the fact that it will have to clean up after me
"The dog one of the patients?" - Astonished gaze drove into the ground, then walked out without saying a word. Before the door stood
J. doggie embraced her leg, claws hooked in my pants. Blissfully merdał tail.
Sorry it did but we did not have what to do ... He was the owner. Bastard, but the owner ... Potowarzyszył us a little bit and then returned to the building. Broken
humor decided to improve the trip to the local pub "Rufus." The owner of the bar put the piggy bank on which the information could be seen that all tips will be donated to animal shelter. A nice gesture.
When we came back home again, the cat was outside.
next day we planned a longer walk. Not two minutes had passed when we saw the little dog happily aimed in our direction. It was not the same from the previous day. Came out of nowhere and started to follow us. Walked past the kids living in Nałęczów Observer sticky igloo.
- Do you know whose dog is? - J. of mine asked - it is for us a few minutes ... It can be lost?
- How to find lost that way - she replied without looking up and smiling at the sight of her little fat suit standing proudly at the top of the snow.
- Well, yes, but here at the moment passing cars, he can not so I ran down the street - I said, trying to make contact.
Zero response.
hard, we went on. The animal walked behind us for another hour. Along the way we passed next wałęsającego the pooch, but not joined us. We found that we have enough idle time. I called the 112 number trying to get to the local Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, or the Municipal Police. I received information that the Society does not, of course, no work, Fire is not working, and police are on patrol and call back to me. Not knowing ro nakarmiliśmy do it what we had with him, or wafers, and we went to 'Rufus'.
the way we learned from a local group of young people that the dog is homeless and wanders so for some time.
When we got to 'Rufus,' met with a very friendly welcome from the owner. We also found an interesting thing - you see
city does not have a signed contract with no shelter so there is no possibility that someone came and took the pooch to some warmer place.
Well, we went to a nearby store and bought sausage for the dog. But when we left ... he was gone.
After a few steps further, however, we met a homeless pooch ...
Oh, and in the meantime, the police called back and said m exactly what I already knew on hostels.
Fortunately this is the end of the story - more homeless animals are not met. What could we have been too short in this Nałęczów.
I am not here about this one specific case Nałęczów. Such a situation is a lot, pets in smaller towns are just notoriously treated. And when the summer "only" results in their dead bodies on the roadside, so in winter they suffer from hunger and cold.
How can you stand by to see how these animals suffer zz cold?
How can I leave them outside when it warms up the same ass next to a radiator?
Now the question arises - is there any way to help the animals? How to speak to the mentality of people who so unthinkingly treat their four-lopods?
Is the situation in which the city does not even have a signed contract with the shelter is no longer slight paranoia?
