A major cause of strays¹ in Taiwan is owners abandoning their unwanted pets.

Stray² animals are a universal problem. Not only are they at risk of starvation and injury, but theycan damage property and spread diseases as well.That is why Most countries have government organizations or private charities that focus on helping³ with stray animal control. A lot of these organizations prompte a control method called CNR, which stands for catch, neuter,and release. The animals are put back on the streets,but they cannot breed, so stray populations gradually decrease.

A major cause of strays in Taiwan is owners abandoning their unwanted pets, which is often because of economic problems or getting the pet for the wrong reasons.Therefore, preventing an increase in stray animals includes owners taking responsibility for their choices. Giving a pet to an animal shelter is much better than leaving it on the side of the road like trash. This change ——the change in People's attitudes - is the biggest one needed to reduce the number of strays. By thinking of pets as members of our family not toys, and treating them properly, we will be able to end the problem of stray animals.

流浪动物是个普遍存在的问题。它们不仅有饿死及受伤的危险,同时也会损坏财物和传染疾病。这正是为何大多数国家都有专门协助管理流浪动物的政府机关或私人慈善机构。这些组织大多倡导一种名为CNR的控制方法.它代表catch(捕捉) euter(结扎)和release(释放）。这些动物会被放回街头，但它们无法生育，这样流浪动物的数量就会慢慢减少。

造成台湾流浪动物的主因是主人遗弃他们不想要的宠物，其原因常是经济问题，又或者是主人因为不适当的理由而饲养宠物。因此，避免流浪动物数量增加的解决之道就包括主人必须为他们的选择负责任。将动物送到动物收容所也比把它当作垃圾一样丢弃在路边要好的多。这种改变，也就是人们态度上的改变，正是减少流浪动物数量的最迫切的要素。通过将宠物视为家中的一份子而不是玩具，并且善待它们，我们就够解决流浪动物的问题。
