The Netherlands became the first country without abandoned dogs - and did not have to sacrifice any

Around the world, it is estimated that there are approximately 600 million dogs living on the streets. It is a difficult and complex situation to resolve, and the vast majority of governments lack public policies to help resolve this issue. But what seems impossible for many countries has come true in Holland. Without any kind of sacrifice or apprehension of the animals in kennels, the European country obtained the title of first of the world without any dogs living in the streets. This feat is part of a government plan based on four pillars: harsh laws for those who abandon dogs, fines that go into the thousands of euros, castration and awareness campaigns, and high tax rates for those who buy breed.

With this, the Netherlands managed to avoid the reproduction of the dogs that lived in the streets, besides making people give preference to the adoption of the previously abandoned animals. A beautiful and intelligent program that should serve as an example for countries all over the world!
