I know that in countries around the world there are many stray animals dogs and cats. Here in Mexico it isn't any different.
I have spent so much time walking to my destinations , and along the way I see so many dogs and cats and kittens. Some are in better condition then others and some are on the verge of dying.
I walked into a mall the other day and saw special breeds in a cage and it made me think deeply about how easy it is for humans to turn a blind eye and to not care.
I questioned why the people that are buying special breeds and keeping them as their beloved pets, wouldn't have considered adopting one of the many many dogs that are running around. I hardly ever see the pups though.
The other day I saw a mother dog walking in the middle of the busy road with cars going at full speed, and she was not making an effort to get out of the way. It seemed she may be trying to commit suicide.
In front of a grocery store there was a dog standing and making gestures with his mouth as if he was having a seizure or choking and limping. It seemed like it was hit by a car and was fighting for it's life. People sat and ate nearby and others strolled leisurely into the store. We were no better. We could only say some gentle words before we also walked in. We know that there would be no such thing as calling an animal shelter to come to get it. It is a helpless feeling and lets you understand why people will turn a blind eye.
The cats are in the same varied conditions. Some are fortunate and wait to get scraps from the fishing boats and vendors. Others spend their days in a garbage dump.
It is very frustrating and I don't feel like blaming someone. I just think the situation with stray dogs and cats has gotten out of control all over the world. What can be done?
Okay I just wanted to pay a little tribute to these guys.
