| Sumario: | This article is a contingent valuation study that investigates the willingness to pay for the welfare of stray dogs and cats in Greece managed by municipalities. The main research question was whether individuals would be willing to pay and how much to support their municipalities in managing stray animals. An online survey collected responses from across Greece. After analyzing the data, certain sociodemographic characteristics of the respondents were identified. Most respondents are urban residents who are highly concerned about the issue of stray companion animals in the country. Using Stata 14, a contingent valuation model showed that 63% of participants (250 individuals) are willing to contribute financially. Key factors influencing this willingness include the respondents’ age, donation history, and consideration of adopting an animal in the future. The average amount participants are willing to pay is €9.18. |
