Everyday we see cats and dogs at the streets, trying to find some food, a safe place to sleep, protecting their babies from people or the other animals.
We call them:
What had WE done?• Made them domestic• Destroyed their natural environment• Abandoned them to streets.
That’s why, WE HAVE TO take some responsibilities by choosing our pets from streets instead of pet stores.
They are the homeless animals which are forced to live at streets by humanbeings.
