Faced with fierce competition and heavy pressure to survive in an increasingly fast-paced society, more and more people choose to commit suicide. The US website oddee.com listed the top 10 places to commit suicide in the world.

   Overtoun Bridge





This is a suicide site not only for humans, but also for dogs. Overtoun Bridge, located in West Dunbartonshire, Scotland, became famous because it was found that a large number of dogs have leaped from the bridge since the 1960s. As of October 31, 2009, there were over 600 recorded instances of dogs jumping off the bridge, all of which occurred in clear weather. Hoping to find an explanation for this unusual phenomenon, an animal habitat expert investigated the area and found that the odors of mice and mink in the undergrowth on the side of the bridge stimulated the dogs, causing them to take the plunge.
