Statistics of Terminated Dogs/Cats in Tokyo

Many pet owners abandon their dogs and cats. In those cases, they bring pets to animal care centers which are maintained by local governments.

The animal care center is also the place where stray dogs/cats are carried in. Stray dogs/cats on the streets are captured by the authority and brought to the animal care center.

Some captured dogs/cats are returned to the original owners (actually they are missing pets). Other dogs/cats in the center are taken by new owners. Poor dogs/cats who were not taken by owners are terminated in the center several days after. The following shows the statistics of them in Tokyo in 2011.
