One of the great things about the Nowzad animal project, is their spay/neuter/vaccination protocol. Part of the reason dogs are feared and even hated in some countries, hinges on the threat of Rabies. Once these dogs are accepted as being generally Rabies-free, the local people will not be so scared of them.
Part of the problem with stray dogs also -is connected with the huge piles of garbage in Kabul, which are dumped all over! Of course, the strays will scavenge for any bits of food, and so they congregate at garbage dumps (which can be on islands between roads or any spare ground.)
Yet there are Afghan vets, and volunteers who love to work helping the dogs and cats, and receive training visits from vets in the West. So it does show that there is compassion for these unfortunate animals there.
