Video and text of the Oral P.

Elisenda and Laia's presentation:
Helpless dogs
We’re going to talk about abandoning pets because we believe it is a worrying problem of nowadays that nobody talks much about it.
Specifically, we’re going to talk about abandoned dogs as it is the most common, because is the most sold pet and also, it is the animal that more people have at home.

Each year it occurs nearly to 200,000 animals’ abandonment. The 47% of these abandons of pets are in summer.
They are workers that search these pets and they take and carry them to the special centres where maybe someone could buy or take one or if the pet are very ill they sacrifices the animal.

¿WHY?
Because it’s when the people go on holidays, go on a trip, and leave home and they have nobody to take care holidays, do trips, and go out of home ant they haven'of their pets and they leave it in the street, in a prayer or in a land. The other causes are that sometimes the animal is aggressive or with destructive behaviours, it has born a baby in the family and they are jealous or also if the animal is ill, people don’t go to the veterinary and they abandoned the pet.
Also because sometimes people want to buy a little baby of a dog and when it has grown they don’t want to continue feet and pay attention to it.

Possible solutions of nowadays?
There are associations to prevent this problem and to sensitize all people who have pets on their responsibility and avoid it during the summer months. Also, these associations have made centres: canine residencem of the animal because also iss, e people have at home, and you only have to pay a tan per cent and they take care of them. The other thing that helps to improve, it’s that there are some places or accommodations which permit to bring the pets there. These accommodations have a special zone for the animals because they could do their necessities without disturb people like some campsites, rural houses…

Despite the seriousness of this problem is trying to intervene through partnerships to reduce it, is still large number of dropouts per year. However, people are not aware that this act is punished by the law of Domestic Animal Protection, believes that abandoning or mistreating an animal is a "very serious infringement", which is punishable by fines of between 1,500 and 15,000 euros and which can lead to a ban on acquiring other animals within one to ten years.

Consequences:

The future of an abandoned dog or cat is sad, painful and uncertain, because apart from hunger, thirst, disease, exhaustion and a great physical and psychological deterioration, many are used in wild fights or just hit the road, which besides the suffering of the animal, can cause fatalities to occupants of the vehicle. But… not only is a problem of the animal because also population can be affected, either by traffic accidents or bacteria, germs and diseases that can carry these animals can infect persons.
