#Based on whether or not they were admitted to the shelter

'Most cats and dogs entering Australian animal shelters and municipal facilities are classed as strays, typically from low socio-economic areas'（Jacique）

It can be said that stray cats and dogs are equivalent to lost pet cats and pet dogs

'Stray animals are un-owned domestic animals, particularly pets, such as cats and dogs (Sandøe et al., 2019)

#Stray animals, such as stray dogs, evolved from the domestication of wolves by humans long ago, which is different from the domestication of wildlife.

'living things and especially mammals, birds, and fishes that are neither human nor domesticated' （Merriam Webster website）

Although in some areas, stray cats and dogs do not bring a great crisis, but across the globe and the stray animals in earth,it do not cause a small impact

' The uncontrolled reproduction of stray animals increases their population that leads to a higher chance of predation, road traffic accidents, transmission of zoonotic diseases, and therefore, becoming vectors for some diseases. '

Some stray dogs and many stray cats are not rehomed and are euthanized. On average, across Australia, approximately 8% of dogs and 30% of cats entering shelters and pounds are euthanized , which negatively impacts the mental wellbeing of shelter staff .

In Australia, although the proportion of cats and dogs varies, it is true that many stray cats and dogs face death

'Many of these stray animals are euthanized, negatively impacting the mental health of staff involved, and increasing the risk of depression, traumatic stress, substance abuse and suicide. '（jacique）

Basic Definition-Stray Animals

liuj4797_ — 2023-11-17 01:51:33 UTC

Stray animals are free-roaming pet animals, especially dogs and cats that survive without human care and with an uncontrollable population increase. This condition leads to significant health and welfare problems for the animals
concerning their public health and safety with environmental concerns (Fournier and Geller, 2004）

liuj4797_ — 2023-11-17 02:05:11 UTC

# Like many countries in the world, the United States initially adopted the practice of shelter detention for stray cats and dogs, and then euthanized them, but because of the progress of sterilization technology, the probability of euthanizing stray cats and dogs in the United States is less.

'Indeed, the overall problem of unwanted healthy animals being euthanized in shelters is close to nonexistent. In 1973, shelters euthanized 13.5 million animals, representing 20% of the dog and cat population, but by 2016 “only” an estimated 1.8 million animals were euthanized, representing about 1.4% of the pet dog and cat population. Most analysts credit sterilization (whether carried out by individual veterinary practices or nonprofit programs) for the enormous drop in the number of dogs and cats annually euthanized in U.S. shelters (and the decline in the euthanasia of healthy and adoptable animals is even larger). '（San Rafael, Costa Rica）

'Stray animal overpopulation has become one of the most serious global problems with many negative impacts on the community, environment, and public health. Most of the stray animals do not depend on humans for food and shelter, and therefore, can reproduce uncontrollably.'

liuj4797_ — 2023-11-17 02:45:38 UTC

Because of the inability to control the pet

'Stray dogs in urban areas are owned dogs that have either escaped or were not contained on the owner’s property. For cats, some are escaped owned cats, while others are not contained and have wandered from their property. Cats not contained to the owner’s or carer’s property are often brought by members of the public to the shelter, or are trapped by animal management officers, often in response to complaints. '（jecique）

It has been estimated that approximately 7.6 million pet animals enter into stray every year, of which about 3.4

million are cats (Statistics - National Kitten Coalition, 2020). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the

estimated number of stray dogs was approximately 200 million or more worldwide between 2009 and 2010 (Patti,

2011). With this number of strayed animals, four to five million are euthanized every year (Fournier and Geller, 2004).
