What is "stray"?
The term "stray" is commonly used to refer to domestic animals, such as dogs or cats, that are found wandering without any apparent owner. These animals may have escaped from their homes or been abandoned by their owners. Stray animals can be found in urban and rural areas and can pose various challenges to the communities they inhabit. They may cause accidents, spread diseases, damage property, or create nuisance by making noise. Stray animals are often picked up by animal control agencies or shelters, and efforts are made to reunite them with their owners or find them new homes through adoption. In some cases, however, if an animal is not claimed or adopted, it may be euthanized.
