You don't give up on your beast like that! We assume! And what, he will starve then ?! I take it and I'm coming! Even if he has COVID-19 ?! Hello friends, you will see that this lady was extraordinary! What drove us to make this video is this kind of article in the press unfortunately.
To carry out our social experience, nothing could be simpler: 2 dogs (Oreo and Quidditch) .
.
.
Alone, abandoned, with a poster .
.
.
Rest assured, the owners and I were never far away! And when they got their dog back, they were very happy! Watch the reaction of people .
.
.
In your opinion: will there be more positive or negative reactions? Also observe if there are differences between the 2 dogs.
The professional who will accompany us is called Sébastien! Who are you ? My name is Sébastien de Jonge, I am the director of the “Sans Collier” refuge .
.
.
I have worked for the animal cause for 15 years.
Are there things that call out to you in the video you just saw? There are 2 particularly interesting things but I suggest you watch the video and we will talk about it afterwards.
So what ?! What are you doing there all by yourself? [For the moment, no one has stopped for Oreo: how will the others react? ] But finally .
.
.
[Oreo would like us to take care of him, rather than the poster .
.
.
] Mrs ! It's a social experience! Is it complicated to know what to do in these cases? I wanted to get someone to look after the park .
.
.
.
.
.
to tell him to go get the dog anyway! [Will this lady react positively or negatively? ] [ A photo ! Without a look or a caress for the dog .
.
.
! ] Madam, this is an awareness campaign .
.
.
But I am aware! It's not in good taste! Ah but it is precisely to fight against abandonment! And you, you take a photo, right? Yes because I intended to send him to the Police! I am very aware! Well done anyway! [The poster seems visible! Are people afraid or lack attention? ] But who is this dog to? [We are surprised that nobody stops in front of a dog alone .
.
.
] To give, but no !! But finally !! Ooh, it's not true what! To give .
.
.
Maybe COVID-19 .
.
.
What is that ?! Call the Police! Ah, there is a camera! A camera ? Congratulations! It's an awareness campaign! He quickly spotted her! He is a smart one! Ah yes, it is attached! Maybe it's someone .
.
.
But yes but good .
.
.
! To give .
.
.
! There are people, they are crazy! I'm calling the Dog Police, huh! Come on, take your phone then .
.
.
To give ?! But finally .
.
.
Whatever ! Reached COVID, and then what else? I call the police.
What number is the Police? What is happening ? Here, “To give” .
.
.
Someone left him there so I'm going to call the police.
Because of COVID then? Whatever ! A dog does not have COVID! Does the person abandon their dog because of this .
.
.
? It's sad isn't it? Do you need to call the police? In addition, it is cute the little .
.
.
Madame .
.
.
(it's a social experience) It is not possible for me to see that! You like animals ! Everything is fine, Madame .
.
.
Everything is fine .
.
.
You reacted with your heart.
Fortunately, there are still people like you who take care of it .
.
.
I can't! It's not possible ! COVID or not COVID! I have already recovered animals: ferrets, cats, dogs, .
.
.
And whether he has COVID or not .
.
.
? I have nothing to do with * re .
.
.
It's conners * es! [Now let's see if there is a difference with Quidditch .
.
.
] [Finally someone who strokes the dog, but .
.
.
] [And you, what would you have done? ] It's yours ? I prefer not to say it Madame .
.
.
Someone left his dog here because he's scared .
.
.
On the phone: “What ?!” He is a colleague who had a garden and I was already looking if he could take it! To give? To give! “He may have COVID” Come on! But finally .
.
.
But who did it? But finally, it's disgusting! Come on, leave! Yeah, but .
.
.
Must call the cops! But finally, this is disgusting! In addition, animals do not have COVID! But finally ! This is not possible ! He still does not believe that animals can have it! BUT FINALLY ! The distress of this beast what! It's yours ? No, we just saw the sign! They abandoned it.
But it's scandalous .
.
.
My God .
.
.
It is absolutely scandalous! Do we have to call the police for that? [Social distance is widely respected here.
] I'm going to call the vet to see what to do right? BUT FINALLY ! In addition, if everyone has the same reaction to pass, he may have been there since this morning! But yes, since when has the poor been there? And what, is he going to die like that ?! But that, me, it shocks me! Don't assume! I'm going to see with my daughter, I'm going to take it! I'm going to drop him off at the vet! Are you going to take it Madame? Ah yes eh! I do not leave this beast, it may die like this for 3 days.
I live a little further and last night he barked all night! So he's been there since that night! Since yesterday that he would be there? He barked all night yesterday! And there is a sign saying that he may have COVID .
.
.
And so it is marked “To give”! “May have COVID-19” But still, animals don't have it! To give? I will take it .
.
.
Me, I do not leave this beast there what .
.
.
Wait, this beast, god knows how long he has been there! Since there is a man who tells me that he heard him bark already last night! On the phone (her daughter): “No, no, no .
.
.
Don't leave it there, poor little beast!” Because everyone passes by leaving it there! And I say, “What, is he going to starve there?” Good listen, I take it and I'm coming! So you take it, Madame? Even if he has COVID-19 then? Normally they don't have it! There has been a case in China, sir! Isn't it dangerous then? No ! Normally animals cannot wear it.
I will also take the poster .
.
.
Take it, take it .
.
.
It's just an excuse for .
.
.
.
.
.
to abandon his beast eh! Exactly! The dog is mine, okay? Hush .
.
.
I'll let them finish .
.
.
It's “Would You React”, it's a video, I'm an actor.
Ah, but I know you! There, you take a picture why Madam? To put on the Internet is that it? No but if it is microchipped we find the owner! It's a shame ! Is this an abandoned dog? But yes ! Look at the word! Didn't you see that? It's extraordinary ! He seems to have been here since yesterday, according to Monsieur .
.
.
I live not far away and last night I heard barking all night but if I had known and made the link .
.
.
You wouldn't have known how to guess! He coughed? (Joke) I will remove the poster .
.
.
He was screaming, he was screaming .
.
.
But finally ! You imagine the distress of this beast what ?! Are you going to take it? Madame will bring her to the vet .
.
.
We don't abandon our beast like that, we assume huh! Besides, he doesn't look very young either! That's not a reason ! Do you allow us to show you in the video? No problem ? There is a friend who happened to be in one of your videos not long ago! For toilet paper! Do you take the dog even if he has COVID? We're going to go to the vet and see what he says huh! You knew it ! Yes, I played a little .
.
.
It's amazing to come across a case like this! But it's my dog eh! You understand ? Ah so it's really done on purpose! But yes ! What do I do ? I am keeping it ? Here I have a big heart like that! Too big certainly! I know your channel, keep it that way it really is .
.
.
I didn't recognize you .
.
.
Thank you my friend ! Good continuation ! You already adopted it! Ah yes, there he was gone! In addition, there were cameras! Ah that's the principle yes! [Fortunately, there have also been other positive reactions to Quidditch .
.
.
] Dad ! Look it says “To give”! But is it yours? But I don't want it any more because I'm too scared! No, no .
.
.
I was going to take a picture of the dog, not of you! And the photo is for? For a veterinarian or .
.
.
He will die like this! It's just a dog Madame! So what ? It has as much value as a man! No one is going to take it, especially not with this poster! “COVID-19”: no one is going to take it! You are going to leave it there and it will burn there! Don't you have love? Ohhh, the poor .
.
.
You have a hard heart, huh! I was going to the cops, huh! I did well to stop you then! Is someone the dog? I just passed like everyone else so uh .
.
.
There is a police check, I will go and warn them! It's not true ! No .
.
.
? Are you ok my doggie? But people are disgusting! There are police over there, I'll go get them! In the worst case, I will take it home! Are you taking it home? But he has COVID, isn't it dangerous? COVID, COVID .
.
.
Sir, it's my dog! Everything is fine ! It is to raise awareness .
.
.
Ahhhhh, I'm ready to cry myself! I saw ! I hope everyone would have reacted! This is not the case, unfortunately! Sébastien, can you understand the people who are abandoning their animals right now? So there are never good reasons to abandon your animal .
.
.
.
.
.
especially since today, no pet has ever transmitted the coronavirus to a person.
You told me in “off”, that you did not feel an increase in the number of dropouts .
.
.
Does that mean that our video is useless? The video is useful because it shows that behaviors like that still exist every day .
.
.
.
.
.
animals that are wildly abandoned .
.
.
.
.
.
and above all to remind people that it is necessary to intervene in the face of such situations .
.
.
.
.
.
and finally, remember that COVID is not related to animals, it always feels good! What caught your attention the most in the video? First, the fact that people do not stop on the animal .
.
.
.
.
.
they will not comfort him, will not have empathy for his distress .
.
.
.
.
.
but will be scandalized by the abandonment of the animal .
.
.
That is challenging! The second thing is the “difference” side between golden (Quidditch) and chihuahua (Oreo) .
.
.
For the Golden, people are much more proactive, but in the collective imagination, the Golden is the perfect family dog .
.
.
So I questioned my script a bit and thought that the poster might not be visible enough? Even if people did not see the poster quickly passing .
.
.
.
.
.
the staging is sufficiently significant: we have a dog attached that ends up in a park .
.
.
You don't have to be a diviner to understand that there is a concern with this animal and that you had to intervene .
.
.
Why did almost no one pet the dog? I tell myself that subconsciously, people say to themselves that “Yes, maybe, he would have COVID-19” .
.
.
Do you see other explanations? Perhaps the fact that some people do not know dogs .
.
.
.
.
.
or are afraid of it or do not know how to interact with them .
.
.
.
.
.
they may have been bitten in the past .
.
.
If we know nothing about animals, what do we do in this case? If we know nothing about it, we contact the Police anyway .
.
.
And we search for shelters by Google .
.
.
You call the nearest.
If the animal is really in physical danger, it is best to call an emergency veterinarian who will be on the move.
By calling him, you never pay anything because you are not responsible for the situation .
.
.
In theory, a veterinarian is not supposed to ask you for costs either since he must treat an animal in distress.
