Mr Hu, a former gemstone appraiser who currently works as a
street vendor, says their money has run out, and the pets need new homes.
“We’ve spent all of our savings to raise them. I’m hoping more
warm-hearted people can help us by adopting some of the pets. We don’t want any
money but only ask people to be good to the animals,” he said.
