Homeless and homeless dogs and cats, both homeless and homeless

Data very doggy and raw...

According to the World Organization for Animal Healththere are more than 700 million dogs in the world and 75% of them do not have a roof over their heads, much less a home, I would say.

In Mexico, the National Survey of Self-Reported Welfare (ENBIARE 2021) of the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) reports that 69.8% of households have some type of pet, a total of 80 million of which 43.8 million are dogs, 16.2 million are cats and 20 million are other types of pets such as birds, amphibians, reptiles... (not including two-legged animals).

Mexico has the unhonorable first place in Latin America with the highest number of homeless dogs and the third place in animal abuse at the international level, that is to say, also homeless.
