Culture - Allison

 Something culturally different between the Netherlands and the US is pets. There are no stray dogs or cats in the Netherlands and their spay and neuter policies are very effective. All cats that are outside are chipped and collared. Dogs also are more well behaved and disciplined in the Netherlands compared to the US. They are very good at walking on leashes and stay in their carts or strollers. Something that is different is that I notice dogs in the city go to the bathroom anywhere; I've even seen them go in a mall. There are few grassy places for the dogs to go to the bathroom and people don't clean it up frequently.
