Soup kitchen for dogs opens in Berlin
A soup kitchen for down on their luck dogs has opened its doors in Berlin.
Despite the looming financial crisis, Claudia Hollm, director of Animal Board, dismissed criticism that society might be better served by a soup kitchen for humans.
“Nowadays people underestimate dogs. They are incredibly important for those who lack social contact with other humans,” Hollm told Reuters. “Making sure dogs don’t go hungry is just as important as making sure that people don’t starve.”
The kitchen provides pets of the homeless and unemployed with a free meal, Hollm said.
Hollm relies on sponsorships from companies, including pet food manufacturers.
