In today's society, the relationship between cats and dogs and humans is becoming increasingly polarized.
People who love them regard them as friends, even family, and those who hate them, wish they would disappear from the earth collectively. As pet raising culture is accepted by more and more people, such contradictions have intensified to an irreconcilable level.
To be honest, no matter which side of people see the picture below, they won’t be very calm!
The same is true for me. I just saw this photo and I almost jumped and cursed! So many cats’ “corpses”? They are still neatly placed together, and which pervert is making a fuss? A heavy heartache cannot be suppressed.
The second photo is even more shocking! There are also a group of onlookers next to the "corpses" of cats and dogs. However, these groups do not feel sad or sad, but instead seem very leisurely and relaxed.

It turns out to be a misunderstanding!
Seeing this, I think most people are not only shocked, but also confused! What the hell is going on? Is there any pet abuser online? Or is it that somewhere has started the cat removal operation? Or are some foolish people who believe the rumors that cats and dogs are slaughtering cats and dogs? Or is it that the shelter was helpless to be euthanized?
When I saw the photo from the Nakongchai Animal Husbandry Office of the Buddhist General Palace in Thailand, I felt that something was strange. You should know that Thailand has always been friendly in treating cats and dogs, and its management policies for cats and dogs are also very avant-garde. The animal protection law is not inferior to that of developed Western countries.
Sure enough, these misunderstood photos are not simple.
The original photo records a large-scale collective ligation and vaccine injection activity organized by the relevant departments of the Fotong Prefecture in order to assist residents in remote mountainous areas to vaccinate and sterilize cats and dogs at home.
The government arranges special professional veterinarians to go to remote mountainous areas to sterilize local cats and dogs and vaccinate them. The government bears all the costs incurred. In other words, whether it is sterilization or vaccination during the event is completely free, which has attracted many residents to bring their pets to participate.
So I saw that the cat in the photo was not a corpse, but a cat who had just undergone a sterilization operation and the anesthetics had not yet dissipated and could not move.
The Thai government is very clear about how much pressure it will cause to society and how much damage it will cause to the ecology. When the government solved the problem of over-reproduction of cats and dogs in China and strengthened the prevention of health and epidemics of cats and dogs, it noticed that residents living in remote areas had relatively low economic capabilities, and few people went to sterilize cats and dogs.
If cats and dogs in remote areas are allowed to breed freely, a large number of stray cats and stray dogs will appear at that time, and they will enter the mountainous areas to destroy the ecological environment. At that time, they will find ways to restore the ecological environment. The financial pressure will be very huge. You should know that stray cats and dogs have almost irreversible damage to the ecology.
So this centralized free sterilization and vaccination activity led by the government. Local residents successively sent 78 female cats and 46 male cats for collective ligation surgery, which made the first photo shock and misunderstanding!
Because it is a professional veterinary team hired by the government, all cats and dogs undergoing ligation will be healthy and safe, and therefore the onlookers will appear relaxed and leisurely.

Why do cats and dogs living in Thailand are happy?
The government pays to sterilize and vaccinate cats and dogs that residents raise. Such good things are not common in Western developed countries or in our country.
Friends who have been to Thailand will find that you can often see lazy cats and dogs on the streets. They are not afraid of vehicles and pedestrians coming and going. Why is this?
Thailand is a typical Buddhist country. People who believe in Buddhism believe that the cycle of life and death and goodness will be rewarded. Therefore, they are full of kindness and love for life. On this basis, the benefits are naturally those weak stray animals. Normal Thais will hardly harm stray animals, but will show great tolerance and kindness towards their existence.
This is why stray cats and dogs living in Thailand have a high happiness index.
Happiness is happiness, but the more than a hundred cats in that photo woke up and found that their Dandan was publicly executed. I guess they would be a little sad.
