Taiwanese DUMPING DOGS


Coinciding with the local stock market plunge, and a jump in the jobless rate in Taiwan, local animal rescuers say more dogs are being abandoned as owners look for ways to cut expenses. Large dogs tend to be thrown away during a slowing economy for the owner to save $152-$302 a month by abandoning them.

Be aware, the Director of Animal Health said those caught abandoning their pets are subject to a fine of $455.
