The "discarding rate" of the raccoon cat is so high, it is inseparable from these reasons, it is too realistic!
Cats are one of the animals known as "domestic cats", but the discard rate of raccoon cats is much higher than that of other cat species. What is the reason behind this phenomenon? Is there a workaround? Let's dive in.
First of all, we need to realize that the "discarding" of cats is not solely determined by the cat's personality, but more by the influence of human socio-cultural and personal concepts. The reason why the "discarding rate" of raccoon cats is high is inseparable from the following important reasons.
The impact of the living environment. Many families buy cute raccoon cats on impulse, but after a few months or a year or two, as the pets grow older and their living conditions change, some people can not continue to take care of them because of work, some people cannot carry them because of moving, and some people cannot continue to raise them because of children's allergies, etc., all of which have become reasons for "discarding" cats. For these families, cats are no longer a companion that makes them happy, but a burden and a nuisance.
The role of socio-culture. In some cultural traditions, there is a specific perception of tanuki cats. For example, in some regions, the tanuki cat is believed to be a symbol of spirituality and good luck, so it has received a certain amount of attention and popularity. However, as personal perceptions change, tanuki cats are abandoned when they are unable to achieve the expected "spirituality". Such perceptions and behaviors have led to an increase in the "discard rate" of raccoon cats.
The lack of awareness of pet care is also an important reason. Many people do not fully prepare before raising raccoon cats, and lack of understanding of basic maintenance knowledge such as cat feeding, vaccination, and deworming, which leads to frequent health problems in cats. Once the cat has health problems, some people choose to "discard" because they are tired and unable to bear the burden. This lack of basic conservation knowledge also requires our great attention.
For these problems, we need to take corresponding measures to improve. First of all, it is necessary to improve the awareness of the whole society on pet care, promote maintenance knowledge, and enhance the sense of responsibility of pet owners. When people can clearly realize their responsibilities to cats before buying raccoon cats, and have relevant maintenance knowledge, they can reduce the "discarding" phenomenon of cats.
It is also very important to raise the barrier to entry for pet adoption. In the process of adopting a pet, the relevant departments can set some thresholds, such as economic status, living environment, family members' wishes, etc., to put an end to impulsive or irresponsible adoption.
The phenomenon of high "discarding rate" of raccoon cats is caused by various reasons such as living environment, social culture, and personal pet care awareness. We should take corresponding measures, including raising the awareness of the whole society on pet care and strengthening the entry threshold for pet adoption, in order to establish a more responsible and pet-loving social environment. In this process, everyone has the responsibility and obligation to improve the problem, help the quality of life of the tanuki cat, and make them feel more love and care in this world.
