Hu Ge rescues stray cats to the hot search: Calling attention to the sterilization of urban stray animals

Recently, actor Hu Ge has become a hot topic for his good deed of rescuing an injured stray cat and taking him to medical treatment, causing heated discussions on the issue of stray animals in the city on the entire network. Hu Ge shared the rescue process on social media and called on the public to pay attention to the survival dilemma of stray animals, especially the sterilization problem. This incident not only demonstrates the stars' sense of social responsibility, but also once again pushes urban stray animals management into the public's vision.

1. Event Review: Hu Ge's heartwarming behavior triggered a chain reaction

On October 5, Hu Ge posted a set of photos on Weibo, recording the entire process of discovering a stray cat with an injured hind leg and sending it to the hospital. In his caption, he wrote: "I hope more people can pay attention to these homeless little lives. Sterilization is the key to reducing the number of stray animals." The Weibo post quickly received more than 500,000 likes, and the number of readings on related topics exceeded 300 million times.

2. Current status of urban stray animals: shocking numbers

According to the "2023 China Urban Stream Animal Survival Report", the number of stray cats and dogs in my country has exceeded 50 million, and is growing at a rate of 15% every year. Among them, the proportion of abandonment of pups caused by disorderly reproduction is as high as 43%. The following are the data on stray animals in major cities in the past three years:

III. Necessity and Dilemma of Sterilization Action

Animal protection experts pointed out that an unspained female cat and its offspring can breed 420,000 cats within 7 years. Currently, the TNR (capture-sterilization-release) project in China faces three major challenges:

1.Funding gap: The cost of sterilizing a stray animal is about 200-500 yuan, and the annual funding gap between non-governmental organizations reaches 80%

2.Cognitive misunderstanding: 42% of respondents believe that "sterilization violates animal nature"

3.Policy limitations: Only 17 cities include sterilization of stray animals in financial subsidies

4. Public participation: Five things everyone can do

1.Adoption instead of purchasing: Pay attention to local animal shelters information

2.Support TNR projects: Donate through formal channels or volunteer

3.Scientific feeding: Deposit special grain at a fixed location to avoid leftovers

4.Spread the correct ideas: Break up misunderstandings such as "sterilization cruelty"

5.Report abuse: Call 110 or 12345 in time when you find pet abuse

After the Hu Ge incident, reports from animal welfare organizations in Beijing, Shanghai and other places showed that citizens consulting for pet sterilization increased by 35%, and the number of applications for adoption of stray animals increased by 28%. This confirms the value of positive guidance for public figures. Solving the problem of stray animals requires long-term collaboration between the government, social organizations and the public, and scientific sterilization is undoubtedly the most humane and effective way to control population size.

As the netizen "Cat Love Veteran" left a message: "Every life deserves to be treated tenderly. Sterilization is not deprivation of rights, but the beginning of blocking the tragic cycle." It is expected that more cities will incorporate stray animals into the public service system, so that "Huge-style rescue" is no longer an isolated case, but a social consensus.
