Crawling for Stray Dogs

The issue of stray cats and dogs is one that is always under discussion, a subject embracing such fundamental points as the humane treatment of all living creatures, social education and of course the important issue of public health.  With ‘World Animal Day’ on the 4th of October fast approaching, Huang Tai-shen and ‘Animal Rights in Taiwan’ who have been involved in the care of animals for a very long time have launched ‘ Crawling for Stray Dogs’ inviting people to bow down from mans lofty place and experience how it feels to be an abandoned animal, helpless and lost in a sprawling metropolis. It is hoped the initiative will raise awareness around this issue, and calling on Taiwan’s government to cease from neglecting this area and instead put in place a comprehensive plan to deal with stray animals and their plight, providing shelter, care and a more humane life for these unfortunate victims.

流浪貓狗是重要的公共政策議題，涉及對個體生命的對待，更是生命教育、動物與公眾安全以及公共衛生問題。10月4日「世界動物日」將來臨，長期關心社會弱勢議題的身障朋友黃泰山與台灣動物社會研究會，發起「為流浪動物苦爬」行動，邀請大家彎下腰，放下人類的高度，體會一隻被遺棄的同伴動物，在人類設計、主導的都會空間裡的倉皇無助。希望可以引起更多人重視，呼籲台灣政府不要再漠視此議題，有效研擬執行流浪狗貓的管理、捕捉與收容，給流浪動物更完善的照顧。
