Recently, in order to make the person who lost his pet regain his strength, the entertainer Mr. Gackt (47 years old) gave him his 5-month-old puppy as a surprise gift, but this incident caused dog lovers to express their dissatisfaction with it.
Although there is nothing legally wrong with it, it always feels a little pitiful for a puppy that wants to leave its owner. In this case, GACKT also explained the reason for the transfer of the dog through live video broadcast.
■ "This surprise was planned to save the wife of a friend who lost his beloved love"
"It's today." When GACKT got out of the car and began to explain why he came to Osaka, the puppy in his jacket kept licking GACKT's face. It looks pretty intimate.
The video of more than 8 minutes of "GACKT transferred his dog to someone to foster" was released on The official youtube of GACKT on February 10, 2021.
In the video, GACKT explains the situation, he learns that the dog that has been in the family of a close friend for more than 14 years died in May 2020, and heard that the friend's wife lost his dog, so GACKT planned to give them his own puppy as a surprise. Because the lady was so sad that she could not personally buy a new puppy to raise, she became a way for GRABT to forcibly hold a dog and give it to her.
When GACKT walked into her friend's house and gave the puppy to madame as a surprise, she promised "okay" and then took the puppy and cried. However, GACKT still caressed the puppy reluctantly, and when he returned to the car, he suddenly said something like "How lonely". Recalling the scene just now, he said, "When we were separated, I felt like I was about to cry. ”
The video is said to have been filmed before the declaration of emergency in winter. At present, the number of views has exceeded 300,000 times, but compared with about 6900 likes, as many as 20,000 people have stepped on the video, and dog lovers have expressed their own questions and criticisms in the comment area.

GACKT said: "I just want to help them. ”
In the comments section, comments such as "Think about what it feels like to see a puppy, it's too pitiful", "the owner should be responsible for raising it until the end", "too much, don't have a dog" and other comments flocked to GACKT, and GACKT soon became a state of siege. Even celebrities on Twitter have pointed out that it would be strange to think of such things as beautiful talk.
However, there are also many netizens who understand THE BEHAVIOR OF GACKT, and some people say "What does it matter, it is not thrown away", "This is just their private behavior, the key is to raise the dog well", "Tell the truth and don't understand where there is a problem".
So what is the impact of transferring your own dog to someone else?
In an interview with J-CAST News on February 15, the Animal Protection Management Office of the Environment Agency said, "It depends on the relationship between the owner and the pet, and it is difficult to generalize." ”
According to Article 7, Item 4 of the Animal Protection And Administration Law, animal owners have the obligation to do their best to keep animals for life. In response to this, the Animal Protection Management Office explains, "Abandoning animals is a problem, but if it is transferred to a caring person who can take care of the animal seriously, it does not matter." ”
On the same day, the Osaka Prefectural Animal Protection Management Center said in an interview, "Because I don't know the details, I can't comment on it." ”
In the face of the commotion on the Internet, GACKT explained the whole thing on the video website "17(イチナナ) LIVE" on the 14th.
According to the video, GACKT learned about his friend's condition just after buying a puppy, so AFTER making a proposal to his friend (transferring the puppy), he decided to take care of the puppy by GACKT before taking the puppy to Osaka. GACKT explains: "I'm just helping them with my heart's desires." Faced with the idea of why the dogs in the health clinic were not introduced to them, he retorted, "That's what those people think, it's my own will, it's just not the same." Everyone lives according to their own wishes, and there is nothing right or wrong about this. On the same day, GACKT also explained the same thing on another video website "NICONICO Live".
