Taiwanese politicians bring cute pets to attract voters

TAIPEI (TVBS News) — Taiwanese politicians have used their cute pets to attract more votes for the local elections on Saturday (Nov 26).

One village chief hopeful has also used his pet duck to greet neighbors. The duck became the neighborhood star among people of all ages. The move was very eye-catching as ducks are not common in big cities, the village chief candidate said. 

Other candidates have also brought their cats and dogs to events in the hope of getting more votes. 

Their goal is to raise awareness of pet-friendly issues, such as pet-friendly parks and animal rights.
