Why do stray dogs prefer to starve to death rather than eat?

Stray dogs would rather starve to death than eat the food given to them for two main reasons. First, because they are vigilant, they are not at ease with the food given by others. Second, because of long-term hunger, digestive dysfunction, can not eat immediately.

If someone feeds a stray dog, but he would rather be hungry than eat the food you gave him, it may be that the food is not to his taste, but this possibility is relatively low. How can they not like the food they have been starving?

Stray dogs have experienced all kinds of human feelings and suffered all kinds of hardships. They have lost confidence in the world, no longer believe in or fear human beings, and are full of vigilance. If you really want to help them, you can try it several times and eat slowly when it trusts you.

Another possibility is that stray dogs don't eat food. It can be observed that if the dog is weak, but his eyes are full of hope, but he will vomit after not eating or eating, then it may be because of long-term hunger that his stomach can't suddenly accept food and his digestive function is affected.

You can try to adjust your eating habits, feed only a little food at a time, increase the feeding times, and gradually adapt to your stomach before eating.
