After working hard all morning, they finally got rid of all the small animals, and the next step was to improve their food.
Some of the volunteers have already joined the work, and their economic conditions are not bad. They donated a lot of cat food and dog food this time, and they also brought a lot of braised beef.
Everyone divides the work and cooperates, someone cuts the meat, someone distributes the pet food, and then sprinkles the meat evenly into each food bowl, and finally opens a gluttonous feast for the small animals.
The conditions of the shelter are poor and the funds are not sufficient. Therefore, cats and dogs eat pet food on weekdays, and rarely can eat such delicious fresh meat. They seem to know what is about to happen, and each one is crowded at the door of the cage. Starlight flashed in his eyes, and his saliva was drooling.
Finally, the meal is served, and the scene is extremely spectacular!
All the cats and dogs rushed to their respective food bowls as if they had been hungry for 800 years, wishing to plunge their faces into it, swallowing frantically, and within a moment, all the bowls were empty.
Seeing the cats and dogs licking the food bowl with nostalgia, the volunteers all sighed in unison.
I just don't know what year and month I will have to wait to serve them meat next time.
The charity event ended, followed by the seminar. Zhou Shuyang and Situ Yue participated as scheduled as agreed.
The seminar was chaired by the director of the adoption center. It was a lady named Xia, who seemed to be in her early 30s and seemed very capable.
The director Xia first summarized the achievements of the adoption center last year, and then elaborated for several minutes on the topic of this symposium, "How to Promote Adoption Instead of Buying and Selling".
Finally, she said: "The number of adoptions is still far below expectations, but the burden on the adoption center is increasing day by day. If you have any good opinions or plans, you can speak up. I hope this problem can be improved as soon as possible."
Everyone was silent for a moment, you looked at me, I looked at you, and didn't know where to start.
Seeing this, Director Xia gave some words of encouragement. At this time, a female volunteer raised her hand, and Director Xia smiled and nodded, indicating that she had something to say.
The female volunteer was also a college student. After pondering for a moment, she said weakly: "Director Xia, I think there is something wrong with the adoption process of the orphanage and the follow-up follow-up."
"Oh?" Director Xia raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile, "What exactly is included? Xiao Ai, don't worry about it, just say whatever you want."
After a short hesitation, the girl called Xiao Ai summoned up her courage and said, "First of all, I think the adoption process is too harsh!"
Director Xia: "How do you say it?"
Xiao Ai said: "I can understand that the adopter is required to provide complete personal identity information, but it is a bit outrageous to ask the adopter to have good financial conditions. It is a good thing to be adopted by a rich family, but a dog does not dislike poverty. People love small animals, and I believe they will live happily too."
"Good economic conditions are not part of the adoption process." Director Xia frowned and replied, "We only require the adopter to have a stable job and residence, and secondly, the family, or the landlord and roommates agree, there are no other mandatory requirements Regulation."
"That's what I said." Xiao Ai said, "But I have encountered people complaining to me that I am still renting a house, and the landlord and roommates agree, because I didn't buy a house and my income is not high, so I was eliminated , unable to adopt their favorite dog.”
"That person has just graduated. As you all know, housing prices in Zhongcheng are very expensive, and prices are not low. For a college student who has just graduated, it is very difficult to buy a house in a short time, and not everyone They all have high annual salaries, but this does not prevent them from loving and adopting small animals."
"I haven't encountered this problem yet." Director Xia thought for a while and said, "I will pay more attention to this aspect in the future, and urge the people below not to use chicken feathers as tokens. Is there any problem? You can continue to talk."
"Also!" Xiao Ai said, "Adopting dogs requires neutering, regular vaccinations, and deworming. These are the things that should be done, but some staff force adopters to feed small animals grain-free pure meat pet food. It’s a little more difficult.”
"Most of the pet food sold on the Internet is synthetic food, which contains a lot of grains. I don't think it is harmful to small animals. Why do you have to feed grain-free food? This kind of dry food is basically an imported brand, and the price is very expensive. Many Adopters simply can't afford it."
"Some adopters will feed some human food, which is not allowed!? Dogs and cats actually like to eat these things, and sometimes the meals cooked at home can't be eaten. Why not give them some food? Rural people Small animals eat leftovers, and they can live to the end of their lives!"
When Xiao Ai said this, a staff member of the adoption center was not happy, and immediately said: "Cats and dogs can't eat human food! It's too salty! It will lose hair! It will burden the kidney function and affect the health of the body!"
Xiao Ai immediately retorted: "They don't even have a home? Do they still have to consider nutrition and health care?"
"Knowing food and clothing but thinking about lust|desire, don't people eat everything when the conditions are poor? The most urgent task now is to find a warm home for them and let them be pampered, but if the breeding conditions are set so harsh, the threshold will be raised. Getting so high will discourage many people!"
"Besides, there is no scientific basis to prove that small animals cannot eat human food! How can you be sure that you must eat special food for pets? I also said that it may be that pet food merchants deliberately promote brainwashing for business! It is true that eating too salty Not good, but now most families have avoided heavy salt and heavy oil in cooking, so why can’t they eat it?”
The two of them immediately argued into a heated debate. Director Xia listened for a while, asked them to pause first, and turned to Situ Yue and said, "Director Situ, if you have any opinions on pet diet, please tell me."
Hearing that Situ Yue was named, Zhou Shuyang indicated with his eyes that he should speak properly, Situ Yue nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Strictly speaking, eating dry pet food is indeed good for small animals, but it cannot be corrected in the past. "
"Grain-free food is just an expansion of pet dealers' own products. It's the same as girls' skin care products. The main ingredient is glycerin. The cheap ones have less additives, while the expensive ones have more, but the basic function is moisturizing. There is not a huge gap between the two, and the expensive one won’t make you look better, otherwise those actors wouldn’t need to do medical beauty.”
Everyone burst into good-natured laughter, and Situ Yue continued: "It's not that people can't eat food, as long as it's not too salty. As for heavy oil, cats and dogs are carnivores, and oil doesn't do much harm to their bodies. .”
"I personally think that pet food and human food can be combined for feeding. Rice and steamed buns can also be eaten. In fact, coarse grain steamed buns are better, fresh and nutritious. As long as small animals are not allowed to eat those prohibited foods, such as poultry bones, onions, Chocolate, seafood, etc., nothing else is a problem."
With the support of professionals, Xiao Ai couldn't help nodding excitedly, Director Xia said: "Thank you, Director Situ, for your guidance. After your explanation, I now have a preliminary idea. We will improve the adoption regulations. Diet has to be reorganized." Do it, and then I will invite you to participate more.”
"That's no problem." Situ Yue said happily, "If you need me, please contact me by phone, or send me the draft directly, and I can make corresponding remarks on it."
Director Xia nodded, and asked Xiao Ai, "Is there any more? Classmate Xiao Ai?"
Xiao Ai blushed, and said without confidence: "There is more, but I'm afraid of offending people by speaking out."
Zhou Shuyang complained from the bottom of his heart: You silly boy, you have already started to offend people by saying that!
"But it's okay to say it." Director Xia encouraged, "Today, we will solve the problem together, and there are other volunteers, so don't let Xiao Ai talk alone. Everyone brainstorm and speak actively!"
When the other volunteers heard this, they all giggled, but remained silent.
Xiao Ai hesitated for a while, then summoned up her courage and said, "There is one last point, I have a big opinion on the return visit mechanism of the adoption center!"
Manager Xia said: "If you don't do well, you can just say it."
Xiao Ai said: "According to regulations, the adoption center will make regular return visits, which is acceptable, but can there be a time limit for return visits? My friend has adopted a dog for three years, but he still receives calls for return visits and is required to post small videos from time to time. , proving that the dog is doing well."
"I think we can build a group and add adopters who have exceeded the deadline. Of course, the premise is voluntary. Everyone can post some videos of their own small animals in the group. First, we can learn from each other and share happiness. Second, we can learn from each other. It proves that the little animals are doing well."
"However, the return interview mode like this one always makes people feel that they don't trust themselves! In addition, some return interviewers ask too blunt questions, as if they are interrogating prisoners, which is particularly easy to make people feel conflicted."
"Once some return interviewers learn about certain behaviors that do not comply with the regulations from the adopters, they will continue to educate, force, and even harass. My friend is really miserable about this. She adopted a dog. In order to show love, and she also loves small animals, but this kind of distrust of her makes her feel very sad."
Hearing Xiao Ai's words, the staff member who was arguing with her just now was the first to say: "That can't be helped! Do you think we are willing to do this? We will be called harassment by others."
"Do you know how many perverts there are in this society? They pretend to be caring people and adopt cats and dogs back to abuse them. If we don't follow up with follow-up visits, how can we stop this phenomenon? There are also some unscrupulous traders who pretend to be adopters and take cats and dogs back. After leaving, they will be sold again, even sold to restaurants, only a return visit can dispel their idea!"
"That's not enough to overturn a boatload of people!" Xiao Ai complained, "Most of them are real adopters, but it's really uncomfortable to always make a follow-up visit like this!"
The two of them started arguing again as if they were pointed at each other. At this time, Zhou Shuyang coughed lightly, and the conference room fell silent instantly.
"Everyone, I have a few words to say." Zhou Shuyang said.
"Mr. Zhou, please tell me." Director Xia hurriedly said.
"I think what Xiao Ai and this staff member said makes sense." Zhou Shuyang said, "Both sides insist on their own opinions, mainly because they stand on different positions, but I think Xiao Ai's words are more representative."
"Mr. Zhou can talk about it in detail," Manager Xia said, "If there is anything we have done wrong or have shortcomings, we are willing to correct it."
"It's not a bad job." Zhou Shuyang said politely, "After all, you are a non-profit organization, and from this point of view, it is already very valuable."
Manager Xia smiled politely, and Zhou Shuyang continued: "I think first of all, we should not treat it with the theory of original sin of the adopter. What we should adopt is no doubt. Even national laws and regulations have some loopholes that cannot be taken care of. Everyone, as long as the interests of the vast majority are guaranteed."
"From the perspective of probability, most of the people who apply for adoption are those who really love small animals, and there are very few scum who are mixed in, but we can't give up eating because of this small group of people. Our most important task is Find homes for stray animals as soon as possible."
"I think return visits are necessary, but the premise is based on the principle of trust, rather than always doubting whether the other party will hurt small animals. Xiao Ai suggested that it is very good to build a group. Everyone can communicate in it like friends. Each group appoints a It is a very compromise method to make the atmosphere harmonious and understand the current situation of the little ones."
In the end, Zhou Shuyang concluded: "I sincerely hope that these small animals can have a home as soon as possible. I hope that the association can also lower the threshold as much as possible, and don't discourage caring people who want to adopt stray animals. That's all. Forgive me, everyone."
"You are too polite." Director Xia smiled, "We are too happy to have you two professionals to guide us in our work!"
Next, Director Xia asked Situ Yue if he had any other suggestions, and Situ Yue talked about the topic of standardized breeding. After listening, Director Xia nodded thoughtfully.
"Director Situ's view is very unique." She said, "I haven't thought about the issue of adoption and reproduction from this perspective."
"You make a lot of sense. It is really meaningless to shout slogans. Adoption cannot completely replace buying and selling. Only by rectifying the entire industry and making all kennels adopt standardized breeding can the number of stray animals be reduced, but this must be done It is very difficult, we must obtain the support of national laws, and our association must actively promote it, and there is a long way to go!"
"I can understand." Situ Yue said indifferently, "It is not easy for developed countries to do this, and it has taken many years. The domestic pet protection business is still in its infancy, and requires the support and cooperation of all parties."
"Yes!" Director Xia said with emotion, "I hope that one day, all small animals will have homes and be loved by others, but right now, the revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!"
After saying this, everyone laughed at the same time, Director Xia finally made a few conclusions, and the long seminar finally came to an end.
On the way back, Zhou Shuyang held the steering wheel and complained: "Next time, don't call me in this kind of thing, sir, you can go by yourself."
"What's the matter?" Situ Yue put his hand on his leg, squeezed it lightly, and said softly, "Boss Zhou doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, isn't it a bit annoying?"
"That's not true." Zhou Shuyang said, "You know, I'm a scumbag in the first place, and I can't adapt to this kind of formal occasion. It's better for me to stay in the clinic. You should do this kind of publicity in the future. "
"There will only be more in the future," Situ Yue said, "When we upgrade to a hospital, we will receive many invitations to participate in various seminars and exchange meetings. You are the boss, of course you have to attend."
"My god, please spare me!" Zhou Shuyang wailed.
Zhou Shuyang chanted scriptures all the way like a bastard, complaining non-stop. The two teased each other until they quarreled at the door of Yangyue Pet Clinic before the truce.
It seems that there are troubles in expanding the business!
Zhou Shuyang turned off the ignition and thought in his heart: No wonder Boss Ma said "I'm not interested in money"!
But he should complete the small goal set by another boss Wang first!
Earn [-] million first before talking, haha!
