THE PROBLEM

A homeless dog population in South Florida is garnering mixed reactions.  To some, it is a normal sight.  To others, it is making living in the area almost unbearable.  Even other states are getting involved to rescue these dogs as there is not enough local support.

Illegal dumping of all kinds is occurring.  Everyone becomes threatened by humans who dump their belongings with no regard for the life it disrupts, and the planet it is harming.  The dogs and the garbage go hand in hand with this issue that touches all aspects of human life as we live in an ever disposable society. Everything becomes threatened where there is such a negligence towards life and our home planet. 

Domestic dogs are viewed differently all over the world. The concept of a pet varies widely as well. In some places of the world, dogs roam the streets in large numbers and in turn form into packs as they would have lived before modern domestication. The trials they face are much larger though. Cars zoom down the streets, trash pollution is easily consumable, abuse is rampant, and just these reasons alone make the 21st century a much less habitable place for the domestic dog outside of a home. Our ever-increasing human population doesn’t make the world any easier for other animals to live in.

The dogs of today are not equipped for life in the wild of today.
