Chapter 0140 Self-sufficiency - 2. For 350 months
Zhongshan City is a large city with a population of over 10 million.
Even if only one-tenth, one-twentieth, or even a smaller proportion of people keep pets, the number of pets will be a very large number.
Even if only one percent of them are abandoned, combined with natural reproduction, the number of small animals wandering outside will be amazing.
These stray animals not only pose certain threats to citizens, but also run around on the road and cause car accidents, and may even spread diseases.
Therefore, every once in a while, the relevant management agencies will carry out a certain degree of "cleaning up" to reduce stray animals roaming in the city.
It sounds cruel, but from different perspectives, the way of looking at problems is different, and the practices of relevant management agencies are understandable.
Even Sun Yat-sen University is not suitable for pet raising areas.
Thousands of abandoned pets can be cleared every year, not to mention other densely populated areas.
The statement of "self-sufficiency" proposed by Eryi made Webmaster Fan's eyes lit up, which was a problem that had troubled him for a long time.
Although he himself also runs some small businesses, he has to invest tens of thousands of yuan in the rescue base every year to barely maintain the operation of the rescue base. He is really unable to expand the rescue scale and help more stray animals.
But if it can be self-sustainable as Eryi said, the rescue base can be operated self-sufficiently, and it is not necessary to expand the scale of the rescue base, but at least it can improve some existing conditions.
"I have some immature ideas, and I'll ask you to see if it can be done, whether it's appropriate or not."
Eryi first said politely, and then began to talk: "You probably know through live broadcasts. I know some tips for training pets."
"Suppose we can train these dogs and let them perform various programs like circus animals. Can we take them to perform in various residential communities in the city and charge a certain performance fee?"
"Or it may be to convert the Songxi Mountain Base into a special and fixed performance venue, and to create a business place similar to a pet café in the form of a pet paradise or a parent-child paradise. In the future, some pet foster care, pet training, pet grain processing, pet hospitals and other businesses can be introduced."
"Of course, I just imagine whether these things can be done. We can study them carefully, but the purpose of my words is to not seek profit in the early stage, at least we can let the dogs work on their own and earn dog food to support themselves!"
Eryi was thinking and spoke quickly, then he slowed down and said: "Of course, it is best to make a profit, because once you have a certain profit, you can improve the living conditions of dogs and also have the ability to accommodate more stray pets!"
"In addition, I don't think the rescue base is limited to relying on caring people to donate money. It can also develop various profitable projects! In addition to what I just said, training dogs to perform various programs to support themselves, you can also take the initiative to go out!"
"For example, take the initiative to take the dogs to perform in nursing homes, kindergartens and other places, and after becoming famous, we will further contact those businesses with publicity needs. When they need to celebrate the opening and anniversary celebrations, bring the "Dog Circus" to the door for commercial performances?"
"Anyway, they will have to spend money on some Showgirl to warm up the venue. I am not prepared for the boss to try to invite the 'dog circus' to gather the crowd and attract popularity? After all, shows such as warm-up performances are nothing more than singing, dancing, and showing off their thighs. Showgirl is OK, and dogs are OK too!"
Eryi laughed and said, "And we have a bigger scale and we wear less. Unless it is necessary for the show, we don't even wear clothes!"
Not to mention Webmaster Fan, Shu Meizi, Fat Hu and others next to her, and the audience in the live broadcast room were sweating!
Are you trying to steal the business of someone else’s young lady?
And what the hell is your "larger scale and less wear"?
If the merchants really dare to preheat the publicity as you said, they will probably be beaten to death by the audience who see the young lady showing off their thighs on the spot?
It’s true that Eryi’s hypothesis really made Webmaster Fan talk, but before he could ask questions, Eryi continued to speak again.
"Also, Webmaster Fan, you have worked with several restaurants before, and the way to collect kitchen waste is pretty good. Why not expand it? If there is plenty of food, wouldn't you take in more stray pets?"
"Even if some restaurants are unwilling to give kitchen waste to the rescue base for free, they can still pay a certain fee to buy these kitchen waste from them, right? I remember I saw that someone would collect kitchen waste from the restaurant to feed the pigs?"
Eryi said strangely: "In this case, it is cheaper than spending money directly to buy various ingredients on the market, right? Logically speaking, the dogs at the base should not be so delicate and should not eat those leftovers?"
"It's not that the dogs are too spoiled, but that the restaurant is too troublesome!"
"You also know that animals cannot eat foods that are too heavy with oil and salt, otherwise they will be prone to hair loss if they are not good for the stomach. Therefore, the kitchen waste collected from the restaurant can not be fed to the dogs, nor can they be fed directly to them. They also have to be processed again!"
"The restaurants that cooperate with the rescue base are some of them opened by my acquaintances, friends, and caring people, so I can ask them to take some thought and simply sort them out when recycling kitchen waste, mainly various meat bones, leftovers, etc."
Stationmaster Fan smiled bitterly and said, "After recycling, we have to add clean water to boil it, rinse off the oil and salt, and clean up the mixed fish bones and debris in it before feeding it to the dogs."
"But it won't work if you don't know the restaurant. People don't have to spend time on the food waste, and they can't help you sorting and delaying business."
"And there are only a few old people in our rescue base. We are too busy with the things in the base. We have to take care of the dogs and rescue them. The kind-hearted people call us to notify the injured and sick pets we rescued in the past. We really don't have that much time and energy to collect kitchen waste everywhere, so..."
Webmaster Fan shook his head and sighed: "Besides, it's not that we don't want to rescue more stray pets, but that we don't have that ability at all!"
