Stray animals refer to animals that have been abandoned and are unclaimed or are wandering. They usually are not restrained or kept under the control of humans, allowing them to roam in a wide area. 

Their uncontrollable movement can cause harm to the environment. Wandering animals can reproduce rapidly, and if not controlled, their growing populations can pose significant threats to both native species and their natural habitats. Furthermore, the presence of stray animals can complicate the prevention and control of many infectious diseases.

Whether it is wildlife or stray animals, we should make efforts to protect them. It is not up to humans to decide which species is more important to protect. Therefore, the best approach is to be prepared for a lifelong commitment to your pet when deciding to adopt one. Do not let your companion animals wander outside to prevent them from being attacked or attacking other species.
