Sorry for my English.
In Argentina there is no established governmental system to protect stray and abandoned animals. There are regional centers where dangerous and aggressive animals are controlled (observation for rabies suspicion) and disposed. There are as well some private places (not state regulated) where wealthy people can leave their pets when they go on holidays.
Strays dogs and cats have a sad and short life and a terrible death in the streets.
There are few good persons that let abandoned animals to live in their lands; in this precarious environment, but somebody has to provide food and medicines.
I happen to know a scientist (biology at state Medical School), committted to animal welfare, she lives in the Capital city, but also owns a small piece of land (1/2 acre extension) with a simple hut, where about 20 to 25 dogs and 2 cats can live and shelter. At that place a 80 year old woman very poor from the North of the country, Isabel, lives and cares for the animals, recieving in exchange home and shelter as well. I pay a monthly fee, also buy medicines, blankets, food, etc. Nobody visit her or the animals.
This is a photo of Isabel, a little moved, it was imposible to make her stand still.
