Dogs to be poisoned by Karachi City Council

[Catherine]

This is terrible and so wrong. Whatever poison they use it will be a cruel death. It will not be well contained so other creatures will be killed as a side effect.

Worse is the fact that killing strays does not seem to solve the problem. There always seem to be more to replace them. Trap-Neuter-Release has been shown to be an effective way to deal with stray/feral animals. Most of the dogs could be rehomed so it would really be trap and neuter. They could also be vaccinated for rabies. A well vaccinated population is the best defence against rabies.

It is a typical quick fix solution to a problem that humans have created. I hope someone in authority sees reason.
