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

Worldwide, 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 of public policies to help resolve this issue.

But what seems impossible to many countries, it has come true in Holland. Without any sacrifice or seizure of animals in kennels, the European country has the world's first title without any dogs living on the streets.

This feat is part of a government plan based on four pillars: draconian laws to those who abandon dogs, with fines that reach the thousands of euros, castration and awareness campaigns, as well as high tax rates for those who purchase puppies breed.

Thus, the Netherlands managed to avoid the breeding of dogs living on the streets, and to get people to give preference to the adoption of hitherto abandoned animals. A beautiful and intelligent program, which should serve as an example to countries all over the world!
