At the end of 2001, the dog shelter in Danshui run by the Animal Protection Association of the ROC (APA) was forced to relocate after protests by neighbors, leaving the group holding NT $ 1 million in fines and 1500 stray animals that had been cared for at the shelter and that no one was interested in.
2001 年底，動保協會位於淡水的保育場，在地方居民抗議聲中被迫強制拆遷，留下百萬元罰款及 1,500 隻托管中與無人聞問的流浪動物。
