At Ono Kin Shoten (Kitawaraga-cho, Hirosaki City) near Hirosaki Station, we are currently conducting a signing campaign for "City planning aiming at zero killing of cats and cities."

Kaori Ono, who is hosting the “Cat full of exhibitions” exhibiting and selling 200 cat merchandise at the same store, is in the process of signing. The store also recruited kittens for foster parents and raised funds for conservation activities, and began signing activities on August 1st.

According to Ono, the number of dogs and cats killed last year at the Aomori Prefectural Animal Welfare Center (Aomori City), which controls the Hirosaki area, was 1,115, an increase of 201 from the previous year. "Although it has been declining in recent years, it turned to increase last year. In Iwate and Morioka, the government and residents cooperated with each other to achieve zero killing. In order not to increase the number of unhappy kittens anymore, cooperation between the government and residents is essential." Speak to.

It was in 2011 that Mr. Ono started to protect cats. During the seven-year activity, he transferred nearly 50 cats to foster parents. "The range of activities is expanding with the appearance of colleagues who agree with the efforts, but the number of stray cats is increasing. It may be impossible to reduce the number of cats killed to zero unless the parent cat is neutered or sterilized. I thought, "Mr. Ono.

"In the case of Hirosaki, there are many cases of multi-headed cattle collapse, and at the same time, it protects multiple cats at the same time. It cannot be said that the concept of "community cats", which are raised by local residents, has not yet spread."

Mr. Ono says, "If we can help as many cats as possible and reduce unfortunate ones," we said.
