How a White Shepherd and a Cat Became Best Friends

"The greatness of a nation and the degree of its spiritual development are determined by the way that nation treats animals" Mahatma Gandhi.
In all EU countries, the rights of cats and dogs are protected by the 1987 Convention for the Protection of Animals from Cruelty. In Europe, testing of cosmetics on animals is completely banned, and it is also prohibited: cupping tail, ears, claw removal. In some countries, you cannot leave a dog locked in a car on a sunny day - the interior heats up quickly and the dog may suffer from heat stroke. A police officer who sees this must break the glass and may fine the owner of the dog. There are no stray dogs in Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland. In these countries, there is a traditionally high level of control (registration, licensing), extensive legislation, as well as social responsibility of the population. The neutering program in these countries is applied to populations of street cats.
