Twelve Nights 2013 Taiwan showed the lives and mostly deaths of dogs in a Taiwanese animal pound. It was great, one of my favorite films.
A law in Taiwan put into effect in 2016 forbade pounds from euthanizing dogs. The result was more strays, dogs who live out their lives in small rural shelters without being adopted< harried government animal rescue workers and overwhelmed volunteers.
The people of Taiwan have few pets compared to the U S and look at animals as possessions . Even offers of free spay/neuter are unwelcome as , "they like puppies ".
First parts of film shows the plights of strays then moves into difficulties by animals welfare people in dealing with the general public, then shifts to difficulties in building appropriate shelters in places where people will go and be ready to adopt. Not much improvement overall public education in helping animals is the only hope.
