[Speaking] Talk about the issue of abondoned dogs and cats
Abandoned dogs and cats are adopted pets that are later cast aside. Sadly, the number of abodoned companion animals is arising every year. Some animals make their ways to animal shelters, but many are put to sleep as they wait for adoption. It really gets me down when I see these abandoned animals.
Some people are prejudists prejudiced, and think that these stray animals can do a lot of harm. But from the animals’ perspective, they’re just doing what they can do to survive. They remage rummage through trash to find food, and look for places to warm themselves in the cold winter. There are people who regularly feed these animals on the streets. In the winter, simply providing unfrozen water is could be enough to save their lives.
