yes. The so-called winter home season is back.
Cats are an invasive species native to deserts and hot regions.
Of course, Korea’s climate is not suitable for them.
Nevertheless, for about a thousand years after its introduction,
Being able to survive in a wild environment
Because I found a way to escape the cold.
That may also have been an environmental factor that determined the optimal population.
If the population explodes, that balance will be broken.
There are limited places to escape the cold.
An entity that cannot find such a place will have a hard time surviving.
In that respect, artificially spraying feed increases the population.
Also, making a fuss about going to a winter house every winter seems like a comedy or a tragedy.
The bus stop in the first photo is located in front of the parking lot.

He said, “Just because the intentions are good doesn’t mean the results are good.”

Cat moms and animal groups insist that interfering with their feeding activities is abuse.
In many cases, the cause of the abuse is the very act of payment.
Above all, this act of grazing is also an act of animal abuse towards small animals and cats.
“Just because the intention is good doesn’t mean the results are good.”
As a former representative of an animal group said, “Cats make money.”
In fact, there are many cases where the intentions are not even good.
