This year's goal

This year’s goal is to go overseas as foreign course this summer vacation. Last year, I should go to New Zealand but I couldn’t go there effect of new flu. So I want to go overseas absolutely. I want to go New Zealand or Canada.

Last year, I wrote a report about animal protection. If I go there, I would research this theme. But I could go there, so I researched about this with internet. Now, I introduce my report.

I examined about New Zealander and Japanese consciousness of animal protection. Japan and New Zealand are loves animal country. But is there different side of animal protect? And what is it doing both counties about animal protection? I write about it after this sentence.

Japanese like animals and Japan is country of love pets. Scale of pet industry market goes over one trillion yen now. But there are also many animals send for animal protection center. Animals that were sent for there have two ways. It’s to live with people again or to be killed for death from suffocation. About 100 thousand cats and dogs were killed every year for tax of nation. According to the ministry of the environment, in 1974, about 1.2 million cats and dogs that were killed decreased 340 thousand in 2006. But this figure is not decrease. Popular dog and cat are impossible breeding repeated for pet boom and when spend the boom, people carry them into animal protect center. It’s very vicious circle. The ministry of the environment announced to start business that supports to build and repair of accommodation in 2009. And it suggested measure that microchip implant to pet and find owner. But essential problem doesn’t solve.

Pets don’t be suffocated in Kumamoto after September 2006. Kumamoto’s protection center was put them to sleep by two infections. But pets that is bring them into there, doesn’t decrease.

New Zealand is known as love animal's country. One of two homes in New Zealand has pet and live together. New Zealand separated from continent and moved now south pacific during about 80 million ago to 100 million ago. Since it, there is much rare wildlife there. For example, there are kiwis hat national bird of New Zealand, yellow eyed penguin that lives in Dunedin Otago peninsula, a variety of kinds of birds. Kea, weka, takahe, morepork owl, and tuatara that is living fossil it’s said dinosaur's alive remainder. These animals are threatened with extinction. People takes plan to protect these animals.

Paradise valley Springs in Rotorua is Wild bird Sanctuary for being threatened with extinction birds. Animal protection group run this sanctuary. There is big keeping area and there are birds that couple or be protect by injury. There are also artificial hatching facilities, research facilities and selection of display. People can watch fly of raptorial that was trained with interactive guide. It tallies result training that said Karearea or New Zealand falcon and Peculiar birds of prey to New Zealand. Calorie wildlife protection district was reproduced aboriginal place before human colonize. There are rare animals protects by high technology fence. Kiwi or weka lives into there. Thus, people protect wildlife in New Zealand.

And it’s done pets protects in New Zealand. There is SPCA that group of animal protect and welfare. It assume biggest control under animal protect law in New Zealand. It set up in U.K. in 1824. This group’s purpose is to rescue and find new family for animals that hasn’t place or be misuse. The total number that is protected animal there is about 300. There are dog, cat, horse, sheep, pig, rabbit, hamster, and bird. Disposal rate for new family is 100%. 14,000 animals are adopted for year. And animals don’t be killed there. When treat is impossible and big task for animal, put them to sleep. But family veterinary treat until limitation. And long stay dog over 3 month is left for general home is called “Foster family”. This purpose is to be experience life outside cage and taste the delights of family dog. The money for food and medical bill are bear SPCA during keep the dog.

The SPCA’s administration fund is donation. It are individuality donation and for local company. And it isn’t rare to leave will behind, it isn’t also people choose SPCA as legacy descent place. The person that to take care of animals in facility is volunteer and they also gather fund. Volunteer‘s condition is over 18 years old and to can do volunteer over one year. SPCA’s administration is impossible without volunteer.

Japan and New Zealand is same love animal country but animal protect side is different. Japan is fall behind other country about animal protect. Japan should follow other country and arrange the system of animal protect.

My report is finish. I want to go overseas. I hope it.
