To promote the concept “adopt and don’t abandon,” Taiwanese photographer Yang has been taking free pictures of animals that are put up for adoption since 2019. As a result, Yang has helped many mongrels find new homes after people saw their pictures.
Yang said most of the animals that are waiting for adoption are mongrels that do not belong to one officially recognized breed, such as brindle dogs or black dogs. After people see pictures of these mongrels online, many would adopt or donate money out of sympathy for them. Yang said he wants to increase people’s motivation to take the dogs home by letting them see the adorable and beautiful side of these mongrels via photography.
“Purebreds become popular because of promotion and hype. In the same way, I would like to see if I can also ‘hype’ mongrels into dogs that people would like to keep,” said Yang.

Some pet owners would bring animals that Yang has once taken photos of to see him. Upon seeing these animals that have found shelters, Yang said he felt special. “I couldn’t say I did a lot for them, but I am still very happy to see them,” he said.

為推廣「領養不棄養」理念，台灣攝影師Yang自二○一九年免費為等待領養的動物拍照，許多米克斯因此被看見、進一步找到家。
Yang表示待領養的動物中絕大部分是沒有品種的米克斯，例如虎斑犬或黑狗，大家在網路上看到照片，常常會因為同情、可憐這些米克斯的遭遇而去領養或捐款，他想做的是透過照片讓人看見牠們可愛、美麗的一面，讓人更為主動想去把牠們帶回家。
Yang說：「品種犬也是人們去炒作出來的，既然這樣，我也想試試看將米克斯炒作成大家都想領養的狗狗。」
有些寵物主人帶領Yang拍攝過的動物和他見面。再見到這些已經有家的動物們，Yang說，那種感覺實在很特別，「我不敢說自己真的能為牠們做很多，但看到還是很開心。」

Online retailer eBay has scrapped fees for private sellers across almost all of its categories as it attempts to keep fast-growing rivals such as Depop and Vinted at arm’s length. The move means eBay’s UK sellers no longer have to pay transaction fees, except for cars, motorcycles and other vehicles. In April this year, eBay removed fees for private sellers of pre-owned clothes, and the company said it was “now evolving the experience even further.” The site said ditching seller fees for fashion had already led to a double-digit increase in listings for popular items such as jeans, shirts and dresses, while at
