Problem Analysis

A comprehensive analysis of this problem allows us to identify three main components:

animals live and die unattended on the streets.
Breeders and irresponsible owners produce more animals for sale than can be sold.

3) The problem of removing from the urban and rural environment obviously or potentially aggressive animals that pose a danger to people.

Bundles of mines and grenades The dogs carried them under the tanks. Defending the country And the soldier from the impending disaster. After the fight the fighters Dog remains were buried. Just not there now No hill, no cross, no star

The battalion is surrounded No food, no shells, no communications. Pandemonium around There are a whirlwind of fragments and bullets. With the dog's report We made our way and the holiday was approaching. Granting freedom to everyone, And for yourself, often, only death.

Merits of man's four-legged friends

Sheepdog Dina is the first saboteur dog. She was able to successfully undermine the enemy train. As a result, 10 carriages were destroyed and most of the railway was put out of action. She left explosives on railways and managed to escape from the place. At the end of the war, she distinguished herself while clearing mines in the city of Polotsk, and found a surprise mine in a bed mattress in a German hospital.

Dzhulbars took part in the parade on Red Square in 1945. But at that time the dog was wounded, so the commander of the 37th separate demining battalion, dog handler, Major Alexander Mazover carried it in the soldier’s box. Joseph Stalin ordered that the dog be carried in his personal jacket, as a sign of respect for its services to the Soviet Army.

Conclusion

The problem of homelessness is both an environmental and social problem. From an environmental point of view, this is a negative phenomenon, because affects the constitutional rights of citizens to health protection, favorable environment a habitat. The social nature of the problem is indicated by the study of the causes of animal homelessness, as well as people’s neglect of sanitary standards in breeding and keeping dogs. . Society is clearly not aware of the responsibility that lies with it in connection with the current situation - from human health to urban ecology and the environment in general.

I dream about the eyes of an abandoned dog at night... what should I do? Anyone can offend her and even simply kill her.

Let the person be kinder! This is not a whim, not a trifle!

Conclusion:

Homeless animals live their lives next to humans and they appeared because of people’s indifference.. So maybe it’s time to help them and try to solve the problem of homeless animals. Building a shelter is the job of adults, but we, children, can call people to kindness and personal responsibility.

Nomination " Children's project in primary school"

"You can close your eyes to what you see,
but you can’t close your heart to what you feel...”

IN different countries There are homeless animals on the streets of every city. This is a clear indicator of human cruelty and indifference towards “lesser brothers”. After all, the most common pets that end up on the street are dogs and cats.

It's no secret that a dog is called man's friend. It's not in vain. These animals are so attached to humans that among people it is difficult to find a friend more devoted than them. There are many known cases when, after the death or sudden departure of the owner, the dog waited for him in the same place for months.

1.1. Rationale for choosing a topic

Most people pass by many homeless animals every day, not even noticing their presence and perceiving them as an unpleasant fact of life. They pass by those in trouble and don’t even try to do anything or help. Even if somewhere nearby a dog hit by a car is bleeding, or a starving cat is moaning nearby, or little puppy. If a burned or wet cat is trying to get out of the basement nearby, and somewhere the boys are trying to drown a kitten that is not drowning in a puddle.

A big fluffy beautiful red cat sits in the yard. What made the owners abandon him? Was there really no piece of sprat to feed the poor fellow? And people pass by and do not notice anything around them, remaining indifferent to the suffering of dumb creatures.

1.2. Goals, objectives, hypothesis, research methods

1.3. Analysis of the information received

Wondering why there are so many homeless animals on the streets, I asked my parents, acquaintances and my classmates. I learned that there are several reasons for the appearance of stray animals on the streets of the city.

First reason - an animal born on the street.
The second reason - lost animals.
Third reason - abandoned animals.
Fourth reason- improper keeping of animals.

IN explanatory dictionary I found a definition of what homeless animals are. Homeless (stray, stray, ownerless) animals are domestic animals that do not have owners, most often stray dogs and stray cats.

I also found out who the volunteers are. Volunteers are people who help the shelter, find ways to buy food, cereals, medicines, new owners, and foster care for animals.

2.2. Reasons for the appearance of homeless animals

Each of the animals that ended up in the shelter has its own story - some were saved by caring people from being shot, some were rescued from a “killer”, some were simply abandoned by their old owners, some were hit by cars and ended up in the shelter with fractures, and some have never known the warmth of human hands at all.

You need to understand that in Russia there are no originally wild packs of dogs; All stray dogs today are once domesticated animals or their offspring. Domesticated and then discarded.

1. If you pay attention, then especially large cluster stray animals are observed where the private sector has recently resettled or is resettling: people move out of their homes and animals are left to fend for themselves. Dogs remain on the street due to their genetic and psychological characteristics do not go far from the place where their home was.

There are also those careless owners who get a dog, but over time they realize that they are not able to care for it, educate it, or bear responsibility - as a result, the dog ends up on the street. From this it becomes obvious that The first reason for the appearance of stray dogs on the street is humans.

2. Another factor - uncontrolled birth rate of animals. In Russia, the sterilization procedure is still not popular. Many people are prejudiced by lack of awareness regarding the usefulness of this method. There are a lot of myths regarding sterilization that have nothing to do with reality. Thus, owners prefer to annually exhaust their animal through rutting, mating, pregnancy, childbirth and feeding offspring, after which the question arises: what to do with the offspring? Some owners drown kittens and puppies, others throw them out onto the street, adding to the number of stray animals. Many people prefer to give kittens and puppies to people who promise to place them in good hands, however, these volunteers just throw the animals out into the street, into garbage dumps, into the forest IN BAGS! Thus, the second reason for the appearance of animals on the street is, again, a person’s dishonest attitude towards their pets!

3. There is a high percentage of lost animals among homeless animals. In developed countries, in order to prevent animal losses, a system has been in place for a long time and effectively. chipping: This is a painless procedure in which a microchip is inserted under the animal’s skin, on which information about the owner is recorded (full name, address, etc.). In all veterinary clinics there are scanners that read information from the microchip; Thus, returning a lost animal to its owner is not difficult. In Russia, chipping is still mandatory only for animals exported abroad, which proves the effectiveness of this method.

2.3. “A dog can bite, only because of the dog’s life...”

Stray animals often cause us a lot of trouble and a lot of trouble, and sick dogs and cats can even be dangerous. And excrement doesn’t paint our yards. All this is true.

But is it true that the knacker is the only way solve the problem with homeless stray animals? After all, no animal can be as dangerous as a person brought up with examples of cruelty.

According to the project, the catching of stray animals should be carried out regional authorities. Somewhere animals are quietly euthanized, somewhere they are sterilized, vaccinated and released back.

For more than fourteen years, a service for catching stray animals has been operating in Miass. “Help, my dog was shot,” the editorial office receives calls like these. Mostly residents of the private sector apply. Upon further conversation, it turns out that the owners did not look after their dog; as a rule, the dog walked the streets alone, without a muzzle and without a collar. Residents blame the service for catching stray animals for their troubles, without understanding what’s what.

At the end of 2015, there were at least 137 stray animals in the city of Miass. Animals should not be killed, they can only be euthanized, and then only temporarily. They cannot be left outside. Those who are euthanized must be taken away in a specialized vehicle. According to these rules, animals should never be killed. But according to the rules, unfortunately, not everyone works. In my opinion, how it should be: Stray animals should be caught and sent to shelters for vaccination, sterilization (castration), isolation and treatment. Then, whoever can be placed in good hands, he will be given bail. That is, to someone's house. If no one has laid eyes on the animal, it can be released back onto the street, to the place where it was picked up. And special shelters should be created to keep stray animals.

Stray animals in the city pose a significant danger to people. This is especially true for dogs. Dogs are pack animals and sooner or later they find company.

It is not uncommon for packs of stray dogs to attack people and often children. Such attacks can be provoked by people, but sometimes occur without visible provocation, especially during the rut in a given flock.

In addition, homeless animals often carry infections that are dangerous to humans, leave traces of their vital activity on the streets and sidewalks, squares and parks, bark and howl at night under windows, and in general, cause a lot of trouble. People forget that they themselves are to blame for these troubles and demand that order be restored in the city. What should I do?

It is possible and necessary to remove homeless dogs and cats from city life. There is no alternative. In the West, there are special shelters for homeless animals. These shelters are run by charitable money. On our streets Russian cities There are a lot of stray animals. In this matter, we need state assistance, both legislative and financial, as well as professional specialists, livestock specialists and veterinarians, and, of course, volunteer helpers.

I want to tell you how you can help the homeless animals of our city. And also what shelters are, what relation we have to them and what relation you may have to them.

2.4. Shelters for homeless animals in our city

Every day we walk along the streets past them - abandoned and hungry. They are abandoned, chased, and sometimes mocked. No one helps them - neither the state, nor the city - no one. Except people with big and kind hearts. But they also need our help.

In our city, finally, the problem of homeless animals has moved forward, they are going to allocate money and will look for a place and we will have a shelter where animals will be kept. But big problems arise with the allocation of money from the Miass city administration - only through the courts. The city cannot provide premises for homeless animals, those that they provide are not suitable for keeping, or are located in a remote area from the city, which will make it difficult for the employees themselves and people who want to help to get to the shelter. Homeless animals are a problem for the city, but now only kind and sympathetic people need them, who open private shelters for homeless animals. There are now only three private animal shelters in the city: “True Friends”, “Kind Hands”, “Warm House”. An animal shelter is a place where stray, lost or abandoned animals, primarily dogs and cats, are kept. Shelters perform four main functions:

prompt assistance and care for animals, veterinary care;
long-term care for an animal that has not immediately found an old or new owner;
efforts to reunite a lost animal with its former owner;
searching for a new habitat or a new owner for a homeless animal.

2.5. GCity public organization Society for the Protection of Animals “True Friends”

I would like to talk about the Miass city public organization, the Animal Welfare Society “True Friends” in the city of Miass. Previously, this group was called the ANO “Good Hands”; it was founded in 2012, but a year ago this group was divided into two shelters.

The “True Friends” shelter has been in existence for a year. This is a place where homeless cats and dogs meet their future owners. This is a place where every caring person can save an abandoned animal and give him happiness - new life in a loving family!

At this shelter I met veterinarian Kristina Rinatovna Shaidulova. She told me in detail about the shelter and answered my questions: she told me about the animals that are in the shelter in this moment, told their story, how they got here, how they are treated, what they feed, the problems of the shelter and how we can help. About fifty homeless animals live in this shelter and receive assistance.

For example, when you come to a shelter, you will be of great help simply by communicating with the animals. Dogs and cats need human contact, and many will enjoy your company and the opportunity to be cuddled.

While helping animals, you can try yourself as a volunteer. Volunteers are people who help the shelter, find ways to buy food, cereals, medicines, new owners, and foster care for animals. Anyone who is willing to spend their time and energy helping homeless animals can become a volunteer. There is always a lot of work and it can be easily found for every taste. If you are not yet ready to take responsibility for keeping an animal at home or for some reason you cannot do this, but want to help, you are in the right place to become a volunteer. Becoming a volunteer is easy - on the website of each shelter there are contact numbers where you can call and arrange a meeting. If you don’t know how exactly you could help, don’t worry, the shelter staff will definitely offer you a job to choose from.

To Kristina Rinatovna’s question: “Can I become a volunteer in their group at eight years old?” She answered me: - yes. I can distribute leaflets with photographs of animals that need help or need an owner, attract people to understand homeless animals, and organize events to help. And I will try myself as a volunteer in the “True Friends” group. And I have already submitted an application on the website.

Animals often arrive at the shelter sick or injured. The first thing they do with a newcomer is to provide him with the necessary medical care. The veterinarian examines the animals, prescribes a course of treatment or performs the necessary operations.

Most animals in shelters live in cages, where they spend most of the day. It is good when animals are kept in cages in small groups - it is very difficult for social animals like dogs to be alone all the time.

The first thing I heard when entering the shelter was the deafening bark with which the inhabitants greet a new person, and walking along the cages, you can see dozens of eyes watching the guest and jumping on the bars in a desire to communicate.

The shelter is a real salvation for homeless animals, where dogs and cats receive treatment and find temporary shelter. But no matter how good a shelter is, it does not replace a home and a beloved owner for dogs and cats.

In shelters, animals are under constant stress due to overcrowding, high level noise, boredom and lack of communication with people. Naturally, the shelter staff are extremely interested in ensuring that larger number animals found new owners.

In most cases, each shelter resident has his own tragic story. To my question to Kristina Rinatovna: “What story about the animal that came to your shelter do you remember most?” She told a story about one dog that someone shot in the shoulder blade with a crossbow (a crossbow is a military and sports throwing weapon, which is a bow) and threw it into a trash can, the dog howled in pain from 4 a.m. to 6 a.m., and was heard and a woman found it and brought it to the shelter, Kristina Rinatovna had to undergo two operations: first, she removed 10 centimeters of the arrow, which was made from a wood trunk and the tip itself was made of steel. The operations were completed successfully, the dog remained alive, and was later taken to new house. It’s a real success for such animals to end up in a shelter!

Also to my question: “Are there such cases when an animal is taken from a shelter and later returned back?” “Yes, such cases happen often,” answered Kristina Rinatovna. Here was a case with a cat: Adult woman I took the cat, a year passed and he called and asked if it was possible to return the animal? People are not ready to raise a kitten or puppy. We are not ready for them to “pee” and “poop” everywhere in the house while they are little, tearing up the sofa, wallpaper and shoes. I think that if a new owner has already had his eye on a future pet, at first he should simply visit him at the shelter, take him out for walks and care for him. During this time, he will be able to better understand the character and characteristics of the potential pet, and this will help reduce the risks of returning the animal back to the shelter.

Not every animal is lucky enough to live a long and happy life with your beloved owner. Dogs and cats find themselves lonely various reasons: some get lost while walking, others’ owners die, leaving their pets alone, some are thrown out onto the street by irresponsible owners, increasing the number of homeless dogs gathering in packs on the outskirts of the city. Each of us has seen such dogs gathering in packs that pose a danger to others. Many such animals are doomed to death.

To my question: “Which areas of our city have the most homeless animals?” Kristina Rinatovna answered that most of the animals are where the private sector is, especially in the villages of Dachny, Pervomaisky and in the area of the old part of the city.

Every day, new announcements appear on the VKontakte page of the animal protection society “True Friends” that an animal found on the street is looking for its home or “foster care.” “Overexposure” of animals, as Kristina Rinatovna answered me: “This is the temporary keeping of an animal at home until it is assigned to a new owner. “Overexposure” can be from two days to a month. People in foster care treat the animal, feed and care for it.

On the VKontakte website “True Friends” photographs are posted and information about the animal is described. They ask for help with treatment and food. Volunteers from the organization every day find hungry, unhappy and unwanted animals on the streets of our city, take them to “foster care”, treat, feed and sterilize them. Because of their love and care, cats and dogs change before our eyes!!!

But “overexposure” is in no way comparable to full life animals in the family - they need a home and the kind hands of a beloved and loving owner! Volunteers help animals to the best of their ability. They need like-minded people and people who are ready to help the shelter in any way they can.

In our city, in the “Elephant” shopping center, there is always an action to help homeless animals, where representatives of the “True Friends” shelter take part. This action has been carried out practically since the founding of the animal assistance group in our city. It is organized every month, and sometimes twice, and its organizers have never changed the established good tradition.

Over the past years, the animal distribution campaign has changed its “place of residence” more than once - animals were placed in the Karusel shopping center, at the People’s Market, in the park of the automobile plant, but still the favorite place remains the hall of the Elephant entertainment complex, where in a day passes a large number of of people. Moreover, in order to attract as many possible hosts as possible, “True Friends” volunteers dress up in bright T-shirts with the symbols of the organization and decorate the event site with multi-colored balloons. Volunteers try to take part in all city holidays, we call them fairs (i.e. with large crowds of people), to help our wards find their home and raise money for the needs of the foundation. For the same purpose, they sell handmade products that we make with our own hands, and they do bright face painting for children.

Typically, at such events, volunteers from the “True Friends” group present to visitors from 5 to 40 cats and dogs of various colors and ages. As a rule, babies are taken here starting from three months, since before this time they are still very vulnerable to various diseases. This especially applies to street animals, who have practically no immunity. Therefore, if an animal with its offspring is in a mini-shelter at “True Friends” or in foster care (an animal’s temporary stay with a temporary owner), they try not to take the babies away from their mother ahead of time. And of course, adult animals participate in the shelter, some of which have already been castrated and sterilized.

In order to place a dog or cat in a new home, you need to know its character, habits, attitude towards people and other information that must be provided to the new owner who wants to take the animal from the shelter into a home. And today, urgent problem is that there are too few of us. After all, the quality and success of our activities, which directly affects the decent living of animals in shelters and the finding of a new owner for animals, depends on the number of volunteers in shelters. I note that such activity is voluntary and in order to fully understand its essence, you need to start doing it. Therefore, we encourage everyone who loves animals and who cares about their fate to join the ranks of volunteer volunteers.

Animal homelessness must be fought, but it is homelessness, not animals. I decided to choose this topic because it serious problem, requiring a solution.

2.6. Ways out of this situation

So that the administration of our city helps shelters, allocates targeted funds for the needs of animals,
Catching animals, not shooting, as they do in our city,
Sterilize homeless animals
Draw public attention to the problem of homeless animals,
Help the shelters of our city in any way.

When going outside, grab stale bread from the table, feed the pigeons, crows and sparrows! Grab some bones after a luxurious dinner, dogs and cats will love them! After all, in your yard there are those who are hungry and cold!

My parents and I often travel to shelters, help volunteers, bring food and medicines that are necessary to treat animals. With the money I saved, I bought two buckets of cereal and I want to buy more: shampoos, combs, bowls, noodles, I can also find an old mattress, towels, diapers, gauze and bandages from my grandmothers.

Also in shelters there are dogs that have experienced shock or some kind of personal tragedy: such dogs can be shy, non-communicative - you can just sit next to them, talk affectionately and, if possible, scratch them behind the ears.

All shelter residents value walks very much. Ask the shelter staff and they will be happy to show you dogs that you can take on a leash and go for a walk in the vicinity of the shelter. Both you and the dog will enjoy it.

If you do not have the opportunity to come to shelters often, but you want to help, do not be discouraged: there is a large list of activities that always require attention.

You can organize a collection of things and materials for the shelter. Shelters are constantly in need of new leashes, muzzles, harnesses, and bedding. Leashes are torn, beds are chewed, rubber toys and tasty bones are constantly running out. Cats need new houses and hammocks. You always need household gloves, detergents, plastic buckets, and large bowls. Simple medications are never superfluous: veterinary drugs, absorbent diapers, sterile wipes, bandages, syringes, the list is very large, what shelters need.

If you have a car, you can help with transporting animals or collecting and transporting things and materials collected for the shelter. Sometimes it is necessary to accompany a dog to a doctor or to a new owner, but shelter staff do not have this opportunity. In this case, you could provide invaluable assistance and help the animal find a home.

It is also necessary to constantly search for new owners for dogs and cats. Perhaps among your friends and acquaintances, at your mom and dad’s place of work, there are people who want to get a pet? You can tell them about shelters, bring them, show them dogs. PR for shelters is always relevant - you can help disseminate advertisements about dogs on the Internet, on bulletin boards at bus stops, in pet stores, veterinary clinics - wherever possible.

Lack of money is a perennial problem for all charities and fundraising work is very important. Money can be transferred to the shelter’s account using the Internet or payment terminals, or you can personally hand it over to the shelter’s employees. Even a small amount turns out to be significant and important.

2.7. Conducting a survey of classmates

I conducted a survey of classmates in class, the answers allow us to conclude that most children have pets at home, mostly cats, cats, dogs.

Most children help homeless animals and would agree to help, which is good news. To the question “If your parents allowed you to take home a dog or cat from a shelter, would you take it?” they answered yes. Thus, the number of concerned people increases every day, because the homeless need protection.

And the most important questions in my opinion: “Would you like our class to regularly participate in helping our city’s shelter for homeless animals? and “How would you help a homeless animal or animal shelters.” The answers varied, but mostly classmates talked about help. Most are ready to help unfortunate animals, but the interesting fact is that help is limited to feeding. Only a few are willing to take a stray animal into their home.

I wondered how many stray animals live in the area of our school. To do this, my classmates and I counted homeless animals each in our own yard. Interviewed local residents about the pets of each yard. And this is what we got.

The first courtyard consists of 3 houses: 1 house is 9-story (3 entrances), the second is 5-story (6 entrances), 3 is a 9-story building (3 entrances). There are no dogs, and 13 cats.

The second courtyard consists of two 5-story buildings (6 entrances) and 1 kindergarten. No dogs, no cats (18) 14 adult cats and 4 kittens.

The third courtyard consists of 3 houses: 2 - three-story (3 entrances each) and 1 - 5-story (4 entrances). Dogs - 14, including those with collars, walking without owners. Cats more than 20 pcs.

Having examined 11 houses (28 entrances) and 1 kindergarten, there were 14 stray dogs, and 51 cats (including kids). Looking at these animals, my heart sank. But many people, passing by, don’t even think about whether they can help?

We have the opportunity to unite and help homeless animals. You just have to want it and everything is in our hands!

CONCLUSIONS

During my research, my hypothesis was confirmed. Indeed, the reasons for the appearance of stray animals on the streets are the irresponsible attitude towards pets, as well as the indifference of people towards stray animals.

In addition, I realized that the world is not without good people. Despite this complex problem, there are people who are trying to help our little brothers. They spare no effort, time and money to achieve their goals.

We are responsible for those we have tamed. The goals that I set for myself when starting the project cannot be achieved in a year or two. Unfortunately, there are no fewer homeless animals on the streets of our city. My project is aimed at helping members of the True Friends society. During their existence, all shelters in the world have saved the lives of thousands of dogs and cats in trouble.

We still have a lot of work ahead, the significant results of which will be felt later, not immediately. We have great hopes, because already today people come to the shelter, call, write to an email address on VKontakte to adopt a dog or cat, and in this we see a positive and encouraging result of our activities. We warn new owners about responsibility and tell people who decide to have an animal in their home, especially for the first time, everything they need to know about animals.

During their existence, all shelters in the world have saved the lives of thousands of dogs and cats in trouble. But as long as people forget the simple truth that “we are responsible for those we have tamed,” the number of stray animals on the streets of our cities will not decrease. Think, maybe you can save another life? Go to shelter websites, look at photos of animals, read their stories - what if it turns out that one of them is exactly yours? Do not remain indifferent to the fate of those who most need your kindness and love.

We believe in your kind hearts!

Content. Introduction: Why did I choose this project? Chapter 1: Homeless animals. Chapter 2: Origin of stray animal populations. Chapter 3: Ethology of stray animals. Chapter 4: Cases of animal poisoning in Moscow. Conclusion: How to solve the problem of homeless animals? Information sources.

Why did I choose this particular project? I consider this project relevant because there are many thousands of homeless animals in the world. They attack people, infect people with rabies. With my project I want to show that animals should be protected and not abandoned. We are responsible for those we have tamed.

Homeless (stray, stray, stray) animals are domestic animals without owners, most often stray dogs and stray cats. The main form of work with stray owned and homeless animals in Western countries, especially with dogs, is permanent capture (that is, removal from the urban environment without the subsequent return of animals to the place of capture) and placement of captured animals in shelters. Most of these countries use euthanasia for unclaimed animals.

Shelters also actively operate as collection centers for abandoned animals, including “extra” animals from owners, and as centers for the transfer of animals to new owners in order to prevent the possible replenishment of stray animal populations. An experimental program of sterilization followed by the release of dogs to places of capture, according to data as of March 2011, is planned for introduction in Russia, from European countries held only in Greece. In developed countries, it is used only for cats that do not pose a danger of attacking people. Shelters

The freedom of dogs on city streets is considered unacceptable by the National Animal Control Association of the United States. According to her conclusion, when living freely, dogs are exposed to an epidemic risk of infection from other animals; they can attack livestock or kill other animals, can cause cruelty on the part of dissatisfied owners of other animals, can get poisoned and die in agony after eating food found among garbage, and cause road accidents and other incidents. Road accidents

The Association states the need to catch and euthanize unclaimed animals in shelters. In the case of uncontrolled breeding and habitat of stray dogs, for example in Russia and Ukraine, stray animals can pose a threat to wild, sometimes endangered, animal species.

Origin of stray animal populations. There are two main types of origin of stray animals: animals born on the street and never owned; animals that once had an owner, but subsequently ended up on the street due to some reason, such as: - accidental loss of an animal; – the owner’s intentional renunciation of the rights to the animal and its occupation before adoption, accompanied by the release of the animal into free living (that is, throwing away the animal); – death of the owner and subsequent discarding of the animal by the heirs.

Animals of the first type are considered to be descendants of animals of the second type in some generation, and the number of generations is not very large, with the exception of countries with warm climates, where the presence of animals on the streets and free walking of their owners is generally common, and the mortality rate of animals on the streets is lower than in countries with cold climates or seasonal changes. Animals of the two types differ in habits, behavior, and degree of socialization towards humans and other animals.

Ethology of stray animals. Donald R. Griffin, an American scientist, professor emeritus at Rockefeller University, back in the 70s achieved official recognition of the presence of feelings in animals, as well as the close similarity of the ways of thinking and the emotional world of humans and animals, thereby making an invaluable contribution to development of cognitive ethology. The attitude towards stray animals on the part of municipal authorities and veterinary services in Russia has long been determined by the fact that these animals can be carriers of diseases transmitted to humans (about three hundred, for example, rabies, tuberculosis, demodicosis, various helminthiases (“worms”). cognitive ethology and rabies tuberculosis demodectic worms

Stray animals, due to their high numbers and population density, are the main threat of the spread of rabies and infection of people with it. Rabies Thus, in Moscow in 2009, as a result of an attack by a stray dog with rabies in the southeast of Moscow, 41 people, including three children, were hospitalized. A quarantine was introduced in the area. One of the versions proposed by microbiologists at the University of Hong Kong is that people first became infected with SARS by eating the meat of stray cats, which is practiced in China. SARSChina

Cases of animal poisoning in Moscow. In the Moscow area, Solntsevo, Novo-Peredelkino, cases of organized baiting of dogs were discovered by a group of people calling themselves “dog hunters” on the Internet. Baits with poison are scattered in places where stray animals gather in large numbers. Cases of poisoning of domestic dogs have become more frequent.

The chemical nature of the poison was not initially known... Doctors, saving the lives of pets, acted almost blindly and selected drugs for resuscitation based only on clinical symptoms. The team of the Medea clinic and the dog owners raised funds in the amount of rubles. With the assistance of the chief physician of the BIM charity foundation, A.A. Zverev. the sample (bait in the form of minced meat) was sent for examination to the laboratory of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to establish the group identity of the toxic substance.

How to solve the problem of homeless animals? IN Lately There was a fuss in the Moscow press about the particular danger of stray dogs, their attacks on people, wild animals, etc. Despite the fact that there is only one official figure for the number of animals in the capital, data on 100 or more than a thousand animals appears in the media! Articles and stories end with the logical conclusion that the humane approach and the sterilization program operating in the capital are to blame for everything, and it is possible that we should return to the previous practice of catching and shooting.

As of May 2008, there were 11 shelters in Moscow, of which one was city-owned, and 10 belonged to government authorities. The city shelter houses 350 dogs and 100 cats, while shelters owned by the councils each house animals. In the city shelter the animal is kept for life, in others - for six months, and if the animal cannot be placed in good hands, it is released back onto the city streets.

Problem Analysis

A comprehensive analysis of this problem allows us to identify three main components:

animals live and die unattended on the streets.
Breeders and irresponsible owners produce more animals for sale than can be sold.

3) The problem of removing from the urban and rural environment obviously or potentially aggressive animals that pose a danger to people.

Bundles of mines and grenades The dogs carried them under the tanks. Defending the country And the soldier from the impending disaster. After the fight the fighters Dog remains were buried. Just not there now No hill, no cross, no star

The battalion is surrounded No food, no shells, no communications. Pandemonium around There are a whirlwind of fragments and bullets. With the dog's report We made our way and the holiday was approaching. Granting freedom to everyone, And for yourself, often, only death.

Merits of man's four-legged friends

Sheepdog Dina is the first saboteur dog. She was able to successfully undermine the enemy train. As a result, 10 carriages were destroyed and most of the railway was put out of action. She left explosives on the railways and managed to escape from the place. At the end of the war, she distinguished herself while clearing mines in the city of Polotsk, and found a surprise mine in a bed mattress in a German hospital.

Proverbs

A kind person takes someone else's illness to heart.
For good, expect good, for bad, bad.
Learn good things - bad things will not come to mind.

When meeting a dog, remember!

Prohibited:

When meeting a lonely dog, try to turn in the other (opposite) direction;
Do not scream;
Try to calmly approach one of the adults (when the danger has passed, continue on your way);
If suddenly an animal creeps up (approaches) the kids, quickly inform the adults about it;
Don't tease dogs;
Do not make any sounds (imitation barking, screaming) while turning towards the animal.

Wave a stick, branch, hand at the dog;
Scream;
Trying to take away from her what she eats, gnawing;
Run away from the meeting place with the animal;
Approach and pet an unfamiliar dog.

1. Under no circumstances should the bite site be treated with iodine, alcohol, or oil.

2. Using a piece of laundry soap, soap the bite area, then bandage it and go to the hospital, since the spread of the rabies virus is neutralized by the alkali contained in laundry soap.

3.Remember that - In winter, dogs are hungrier, and therefore much more aggressive, than in the warm season, so be careful not to touch the dogs.

4. Be sure to consult a doctor to prescribe a course of vaccination, consisting of seven intramuscular injections, which are carried out according to a special scheme.

Conclusion

The problem of homelessness is both an environmental and social problem. From an environmental point of view, this is a negative phenomenon, because affects the constitutional rights of citizens to health protection and a favorable living environment. The social nature of the problem is indicated by the study of the causes of animal homelessness, as well as people’s neglect of sanitary standards in breeding and keeping dogs. . Society is clearly not aware of the responsibility that lies with it in connection with the current situation - from human health to urban ecology and the environment in general.

I dream about the eyes of an abandoned dog at night... what should I do? Anyone can offend her and even simply kill her.

Let the person be kinder! This is not a whim, not a trifle!

Take a close look people

In the eyes of abandoned dogs!
