Change the bag! The animal shelter staged a civet cat for the prince

The story of "civet cats for princes" in folklore is outrageous. However, it is alleged that a dog version of the civet cat for the prince was staged in Kaohsiung stray animal shelter a few days ago. When illegal breeders illegally adopted and returned them, they replaced the old and infertile ancient shepherds with old and infertile ancient shepherds in an attempt to hide the truth. This move triggered condemnation from netizens and animal protection groups, demanding that the Kaohsiung animal protection department conduct an in-depth investigation, severely punish dereliction of duty and recover the original dog.

A young ancient sheepdog was illegally adopted by the keeper of Kaohsiung Animal Shelter, and the dog returned by the keeper was obviously old.

On March 9, Kaohsiung Animal Shelter took in a young ancient sheepdog abandoned by the people, but on the same day, the dog was sent to Wu, who was punished for illegally operating a breeding farm, without birth control and announcement. Later, the public reported that the operator surnamed Wu had returned the dog. However, the netizen asked experts and veterinarians to compare the photos and videos, and found that the released dog did not match the original dog in terms of nose color, body shape, coat color distribution, head and snout shape, walking style or age. It pointed out that the shelter colluded with the breeder to "exchange civet cats for princes" and changed the "young ancient animal husbandry" to "old ancient animal husbandry".

Zhu Jiade, deputy director of the Animal Protection Department, said that the old sheepdog in cage 16 was an old dog abandoned by the breeder, but it was not ligated. Later, she was adopted and taken away by a miss Wu. Afterwards, it was found that she forgot to help the dog with birth control before adoption and asked her to return it. The chip scan confirms that the number is the same as the original dog, and it is certain that it is the same dog. Netizens think that the difference between the photos before and after is too big, which may be because of the illusion that the hair has been shaved.

However, netizens questioned that the chip numbers are the same, which may be caused by collusion between the shelter staff and the breeder.

In addition, according to the surveillance video, the original captive young ancient sheepdog is obviously very active and can jump out of the car by himself; On the other hand, this obviously elderly old sheepdog has difficulty in walking, with few teeth left, huge nipples and crumbling. Netizens, animal protection groups and veterinarians believe that there are obvious differences between the two ancient sheepdogs in nose print, coat color distribution, body shape, height and walking style. "How can it be the same dog? 」

Ni Jingtai, a senior volunteer of the Taiwan Province Animal Emergency Rescue Team, said that the Kaohsiung Animal Protection Institute failed to screen adopters first, and it was a major administrative fault to let famous dogs without birth control fall into the hands of illegal breeders with criminal records. After that, it is even more incumbent, and the returned dog may be switched. We should trace it as soon as possible, severely punish the dereliction of duty, recover the original dog and avoid falling into the hands of unscrupulous breeders.
