1.Understanding Accident Attorneys Near Me: Your Guide to Legal Assistance

"In June of 2017, I embarked on a journey that involved traveling Asia," says writer and photographer Amy Mander. "I lived and resided in Thailand, Japan, and Taiwan, all for an accumulated time of six months."

"During this time, I learned and saw a great deal of compassion toward cats, yet sadly witnessed much animal cruelty, too."

"Thailand was the one country where there remains a mutual understanding between human and animal. Each respect one another and live daily life together," Amy Mander writes in her book Street Cats of Thailand and Japan.

"Wild dogs dominate the pavements. Cats and kittens laze around shops. Lizards occupy the walls in hotels, homes, and hostels. Butterflies surround you when you walk the grounds of a garden. Birds pay no attention to your calls, only to look for a brief moment and then move onto the next tree."

"Japan was a country where humans took precedence, whilst animals were subjected to ill-treatment," Amy Mander writes.

"During my time in Japan, I witnessed bizarre animal relationships, and more education needs to be introduced, especially for Japanese pet owners and within Japan's zoo practices. The cats in Japan were all predominantly wild and tended to go around in packs. Highly protective of one another and only loyal to few, mainly the older Japanese generation who would visit where the cats frequented and place some tuna for them to eat. I am afraid this tradition led by the older generation won't continue on, and many of these cats will starve."

Amy Mander hopes to inspire and continue to raise awareness about cats in Asia through her little book Steet Cats of Thailand and Japan. Fifty percent of the sales goes to Kitty Rescuee, a cat center in Asia.
