The root cause of the stray animal problem is primarily institutional failures, such as the lack of comprehensive animal protection laws, weak enforcement against pet abandonment, inadequate spay/neuter programs, and insufficient public shelters or registration systems. These enable unchecked breeding and irresponsible ownership. While human irresponsibility (e.g., abandoning pets due to trends or inconvenience) plays a role, it is amplified by the absence of systemic deterrents and support. Effective solutions require legal reforms prioritizing humane population control like TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return).https://www.four-paws.org/about-us/faqs-collection/faqs-stray-animal-care https://www.worldanimalprotection.org.cn/news-store/scientific-management-is-the-most-effective-way-to-solve-the-problem-of-stray-dogs/ https://zgdwf.zuel.edu.cn/zgdwfw-zgdwf_jyxc/zgdwf_cont_news/details-31788.html https://www.torontohumanesociety.com/understanding-the-root-causes-of-stray-pets-a-complex-challenge/

No, pure AI-created works do not enjoy copyright protection in most jurisdictions, including the US and EU, as copyright requires human authorship. In the US (per 2025 Copyright Office report), only works with sufficient human creative input—such as modifications, arrangements, or perceptible human elements—are copyrightable. Pure AI outputs lack this and enter the public domain.In China, courts have granted protection to AI-generated content where significant human intellectual effort (e.g., iterative prompting) is involved, attributing authorship to the human user.Globally, laws prioritize human creativity to incentivize innovation without overprotecting machine outputs.https://www.copyright.gov/ai/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence_and_copyrighthttps://copyrightblog.kluweriplaw.com/2024/02/02/beijing-internet-court-grants-copyright-to-ai-generated-image-for-the-first-time/

DAOs are disrupting, but not fully replacing, traditional VC logic. They democratize funding via community votes and token-based governance, enabling micro-investors to back Web3 startups without elite gatekeepers—think global access over closed-door deals. Yet, VCs excel in due diligence, mentorship, and scale, with DAOs lagging in efficiency and regulation. Hybrid models, like VCs launching DAOs, are emerging as the bridge. Expect evolution, not extinction.https://businesslawreview.uchicago.edu/online-archive/startup-investing-and-venture-daos https://www.coindesk.com/business/2022/01/06/will-daos-replace-crypto-venture-capital https://www.ledger.com/academy/daos-an-alternative-to-venture-capital https://kingscrowd.com/are-investment-daos-future-venture-capital/
