Alongside those who manifest coronavirus psychosis even going so far as to throw out the window or abandon cats and dogs accused of carrying the Chinese virus, in Wuhan there are those in these days, they are taking care of many animals left alone after the evacuation of some areas of the city.
Among the many stories, there is that of a 43-year-old who climbed the rusty pipes of a building to reach the balcony on the third floor of an apartment, where an elderly couple lived who had left for a few days before the case broke out. coronavirus, but what then he could not go home.
For ten days there were cats in the house, alone and without food. Lao Mao, this is the nickname by which he calls himself on social media, he found them under the sofa hungry but fortunately still alive. The man then video called the owners who burst into tears upon seeing their two kittens,
In recent days, Lao Mao on his social networks had launched a appeal: he would have helped the domestic animals of those who had had to leave the house and had not been able to take them with him. The man is an animal rights activist and has long been involved in stray dogs and the protection of many four-legged friends. So the elderly couple also contacted him and he replied immediately. But there are many animals left alone because let's remember the outbreak of the coronavirus coincided with the Chinese New Year and many had taken a short vacation, unaware that he would not have made immediate return home. According to Lao Mao, there are 50 pets left alone in Wuhan.
“Volunteers from our animal welfare team have rescued more than a thousand pets since January 25th. My phone never stops ringing these days. I barely sleep, ”Lao Mao said.
Without the intervention of these beautiful angels, many pets would have starved to death. Then, as we said, there is also coronavirus psychosis. Following false reports in China that pets also contribute to the spread of the virus, many have started throwing cats and dogs out of the windows of their buildings. And so the number of those in need of assistance has grown. In Suichang, a small county in Zhejiang, the government has ordered residents to keep their dogs at home because those found on the street will be killed.
“The World Health Organization said there is no evidence that cats and dogs can transmit the coronavirus. Our enemies live in slaughterhouses and meat markets not at home. We can avoid such disasters by following a vegan diet that takes away the risk of health threat, ”said Keith Guo of PETA Asia.
