After the survey, we found some differencesbetween our survey results and the results reported by professionals. According
to the professionals, the main reason to cause the problem is "not
carrying out birth control." Each homeless dog will breed about 20 puppies
a year.
The second main reason is "Abandoning." Many stray dogs without
injecting chips may get lost or abandoned by the keepers.
Many merchants will
"over breed" dogs to make much money. We guessed most stray dogs are
pure- blood, but most of them are half-blood after we visiting the shelter.
We found that these
differences are made by the misunderstandings about stray dogs. Government's wrong
policies and the movie "Twelve Nights"(a movie telling us stray dogs'
lives in the stray dog shelter) misled us. In our opinion, the slogan "neutering
and spaying instead of killing" is prior to the slogan "adoption
instead of buying."
As to the other five
items, the survey results are similar to the reports we found online. After the
movie "Twelve Nights" was on, the level how much our people care
about stray dogs is much higher than that the government regulates. Our
government should set "Animal Protection Act. " and re-organize the
animal shelters, so that our people can see pets as our family instead of
animals.
We drew bar charts by
the participants' background data. We gave out 200 questionnaires and got back
189 valid ones. (administrators: 10; teachers: 45; parents: 25; students: 120)
