Hayvan kurtarma konusunda ülkemizde bir eksiklik hissediyor musunuz sorusuna, istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı bir fark bulunmamasına karşın, hayvan besleyenlerin beslemeyenlere göre daha yüksek oranda olumlu cevap verdiği görülmektedir. Hayvanlarla ilgili acil bir durum halinde nereyi ararsınız sorusunu; hayvan besleyenlerin sadece %6,6’sı; hayvan beslemeyenlerin ise %6,5’u 112 acil çağrı şeklinde cevaplandırmıştır. Ülkemizde hayvanlarda arama-kurtarma faaliyetlerini gerçekleştiren AFAD ve itfaiye birimlerinin bu görevlerinden haberdar olan öğrenci yüzdesi hayvan besleyenler arasında %60 iken, hayvan beslemeyenlerin oranı %76’ya yükselmiştir. Hayvan Kurtarma hakkında medyada hiç habere rastladınız mı sorusuna verilen cevaplar incelendiğinde “hayvan besleyen öğrencilerin %90,2 beslemeyenlerin ise %75 oranında evet cevabını verdikleri görülmektedir.
