Japans problem with too many dogs

In Japan their problems with too many dogs is scary. When a dog is takin in to a shelter it is only given a week to find a home if they do not find a home then the dog, 8 at a time, are but in a box and then it is filled with CO2. The man showing the reporter around said that it is very painful and is also one of the most economical ways for them to put the animals down even though it is not the most human way. Cat at the shelter are sadly only given a day to find a home so the death of cats and kittens are much higher.
People in Japan are looking for the next best thing with the dogs. Looking for the next cute and adorable instead of looking in the local shelters. The people of Japan the man said just dont understand the problem that is going on around then in the animal world when it comes to the dogs and cats on the street.
The people in Japan in my opinion need a wake up call if they have that many animals a week that are being destroyed just because non of the people want to adopt from a shelter. Instead they go to breeders which shouldnt be there because the animal percentage is already to high. The people there should be limited to the animals that can get and buy, also where they buy the too.
I just find it a sicking thought that dogs are given less than a week and the cats are given less than a day to find someone to adopt them. It just shows that people caring about the animals has decreased in some parts of the world more than others.
