How do stray dogs spend the winter?

It is difficult for stray dogs to spend the winter, usually relying on thick fur or huddling together with other dogs to keep warm. But food and drinking water are difficult, especially in the north, where the water is almost frozen and there is no drinking water, so many animals will die of thirst. So in winter, if you see a stray dog, you can take it home, or give some food, water and so on.

Why is the death rate of stray dogs high in winter?

1. No source of food

As stray dogs are helpless and have no owner, they have to live on their own. But no matter how hard life is, they will stick to it. However, in the cold winter, because the food in the garbage is frozen, it is impossible to eat, which directly leads to a great reduction in the source of food for stray dogs. Not only that, as the temperature drops sharply in winter, stray dogs walk more and more slowly, which greatly slows down the time it takes for them to find food.

2. It is easy to freeze to death

As the coldest season of the year, it is easy to reach sub-zero temperatures in winter, and even reach the lowest temperature of minus 30 degrees in northeast China. But homeless stray dogs have no fixed shelter, let alone shelter from the rain and snow. Only in the cold and windy winter to find a place as simple as possible to hide, looking forward to the quick arrival of spring. In the end, however, only a small number of stray dogs will last until next spring. I have to say, the world is too cruel for stray dogs.

3. Encounter lawbreakers

There is a factor that is easy to ignore, that is, in the current environment, there is such a group of lawbreakers specifically targeting all kinds of stray dogs. As long as they see stray dogs on the street, they will do whatever it takes to catch them, take them to a processing plant for slaughter, and then be brought to the table. However, has such a person ever wondered how an innocent and poor stray dog would feel? Have you ever considered it from the point of view of a stray dog?

4. Be abandoned by the master

For the sake of personal pleasure, a very small number of dog owners will get bored soon after they have a dog and have the idea of abandoning the dog. The editor once knew a dog owner in real life. His Schnauzer was unable to move around due to a leg injury, which made it impossible to defecate normally. Schnauzer's owner wanted to give the dog away, but no one wanted to adopt it, so he found a place far from home in the snowy winter and lost the dog.
