According to shelter staff, a change in attitude toward sterilizing pets would help reduce discards in the country.
The bean is still shaking with fear. The cat entered the shelter just a few hours ago. Gintarė, an employee of Nuaro, was still trying to discourage her owners, after all, on International Animal Day. But people were convinced that Beans at home no longer had space.
“People moved from house to apartment. And the cat probably didn’t fit. How can you give a living heart? Look how it shakes, ”Gintarė told Lietuvos Rytas television reporters.
Nidas is an old man from the Nuaro refuge. Four years ago, the dog was captured in Kaliningrad and came to Nida.
“It just came to our knowledge then. I found a house that seemed to be successful, but the owner said to pick it up or beat it. Before that, he wandered around Nida for a long time. A migrant, as we say,” said Victoria, an employee of Nuaro.
To commemorate World Animal Day, Klaipeda “Nuaras” invited residents to meet homeless people living in the shelter.
“We want to show how homeless people live, what we lack, what we need most and call everyone’s heart to house the homeless,” said Gintarė Liutkuvienė, the manager of the “Nuaras” shelter.
Each year, more than 2,000 animals enter the Klaipeda, Kaunas and Alytus Nuaro shelters. Most – give away the hosts. Currently, more than a hundred animals are housed in Klaipeda.
“To date, we have 52 dogs and 54 cats. This is not the highest number that has been in the past because there have been twice as many animals. People come because they are outdated, they need to be carded, and they are no longer needed. It even breeds. The applied label is old, it no longer plays, it is sleeping in a corner, it is no longer necessary, ”said G. Liutkuvienė.
According to shelter staff, one of the biggest problems in Lithuania is the lazy approach to animal sterilization.
“The biggest problem is the lack of sterilization of the animals and when they give birth to their young. Another problem is that the time for labeling is approaching, our state is not ready for this yet: there is no training, there is no specific system that works, ”says G. Liutkuvienė.
World Wildlife Day was also celebrated in Vilnius, near the White Bridge. Much attention is paid to the labeling of animals. According to specialists, more than 200,000 thousand people are currently marked in Lithuania. pets, and the prices of the labeling range between € 10 and € 30. Although there is more and more talk about the need for labeling, Lithuanians are in no rush to do it, so specialists hope that people will not forget to take care of their pets.
“We inform the owners themselves that labeling is necessary and the benefits of such labeling are enormous. If you have a dog or a pet, it will definitely be easier to find it. It will also know if it has a contagious disease: it has been vaccinated or vaccinated. This it’s a big enough benefit, ”says Mantas Staškevičius, Head of the State Food and Veterinary Service (SFVS).
The mandatory microchip and registration of cats, dogs and ferrets in the Pet Registry were introduced since May. Pet owners must be checked in before May of next year.
