Hank Taylor Posted December 2, 2014 Share #1 Posted December 2, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) There are many undernurished dogs and cats that without a good diet develope scabbies such as this poor fellow. Cost of prevention and treatment is probitive to most poor families. Hank Welcome, dear visitor!

pauledell Posted December 2, 2014 Share #2 Posted December 2, 2014 Hank, That is so sad. I realize that it it is far more difficult to solve the population problems of animals than some would have us believe especially in some of the poorer countries. Fine reportage.

jaapv Posted December 2, 2014 Share #3 Posted December 2, 2014 But this shouldn't happen in a civilized rich country... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Taylor Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share #4 Posted December 2, 2014 Thank you Paul and Jaapv for your comments yes its sad that these animals suffer from lack of good food and have to find what they can on the streets. Here in the Philippines the average worker earns not much more then P 1500 a week($34.00). But the real problem here is the culture, most Filapinos don't regard their animals as pets with the exception of a few. Hank Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, poverty and education are key factors. There are many charities providing just that active in the second and third world. I urge everybody to support a few.

allamande Posted December 4, 2014 Share #7 Posted December 4, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hank, As Paul said, this is very sad and unacceptable no matter where the location. But I also understand that people need to feed their families first. In the grand of scheme of things, there is enough food in the Philippines to feed all, so this shouldn't be allowed to happen. As you say, cultural values have a lot to do with it. Ece Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the bitch has puppies and after weening they are left to care in most cases for themself. Hank Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
