I am taking a corner to speak about dogs here in New Zealand. Or any pet at all…. Some dogs belong to a loving home and are taken care of by responsible owners, but even a dog that belong to a loving home can fall into misfortune.
People steal peoples dogs for betting on a dog in an organised dog fight. They do it for money and put a family pet against a very aggressive dog that kills it.
Some abandon their pets at Christmas time or after Christmas or when someone in the family becomes unemployed. Sometimes they are found by kind people but often it is by people with cruel intentions..Not a good life for stray pets dog or cat in New Zealand…
In my opinion, people need to be assessed whether they responsible owners before they get the dog..
It is costly to own a dog in New Zealand, and fortunately these animals I have taken photos of are owned by loving owners…
