TOKUSHIMA, Japan (Reuters Life!) - It's a dog's life for a stray mutt in any country, but in Japan a canine that ends up in the municipal pound is far more likely to be put down than to find a new home.

在任何国家，每条流浪狗都代表一个生命，但是在日本，身处政府宠物机构的狗注定是死亡，而不是找到一个新家。

While in some other industrialized countries the idea of "saving" a pet from a shelter is well-established, in Japan animal welfare activists say strays often fall foul of an attitude that prizes puppies and pedigrees as status symbols.

在其他一些工业国家，从庇护所“救助”一个宠物狗的想法非常普遍，而日本的动物福利行为者则称：流浪狗是与奖励的小狗和象征高贵地位的血统狗相冲突的。

"In Britain, the public go to animal welfare shelters to adopt an animal and save a life. The mindset in Japan is still 'if you want a pet, go to a pet shop'," said Briar Simpson, a New Zealander who works for Japan's animal shelter ARK, via e-mail.

一服务于日本动物收容所ARK的新西兰人，Briar Simpson，通过电子邮件介绍：在英国，公众会去动物庇护所领养一只宠物，救活一个生命。而在日本，人们的观念模式依然是“如果你想要一个宠物，请去宠物商店。”

In Britain, approximately 6 to 9 percent of dogs in pounds are put to death every year, 2007-2009 figures show, according to the website of Dogs Trust, the nation's largest dog welfare charity.

根据国家最大的狗福利团体“狗的希望”网站的数据显示：在英国，每年约有6％－9％的狗在政府的宠物机构死亡。

In Japan that figure is more than 70 percent, the Japanese animal welfare organization ALIVE says.

而日本的动物福利组织ALIVE则称：在日本，这个数字多于70％。
