Surprised I kept my breakfast down.

We do the same thing at pounds for unclaimed or unadoped dogs.
Not with such a vicious flourish, but dead is dead.
Ps I love my two dogs and 1 cat and would not stand by a let them be taken and destroyed. But strays can be a problem.

In one word: RABIES.

these stray dogs are often vicious, and feral. Unless they were born in someone’s home and petted before being abandoned, they are not nice doggies. They attack kids, pets and backyard chickens. And every year here in the Philippines 600 people die of rabies even though a series of shots is only 20 dollars at the local clinics and the farm dogs can get free shots once a year.

Now, THIS is news! Let’s get organized to stop THIS. Kill a journalist here and there...well, that’s the hazard of the job. But mangy, disease-ridden dogs that bite people being killed, NO WAY!

WOOOF!

One Kabul resident, Ghazal Sharifi, a dentist, told AFP how she had befriended a stray dog that had six puppies near her workplace and one day she discovered them all being poisoned. "The workers laughed at me as I held the dying bodies", Sharifi said. "This inhumane cruelty to animals is un-Islamic. "I saw dogs being thrown into a truck even when they were still just alive, piled one on top of another. I keep having nightmares about the scene. I just want this to stop."

I talked to friends who served in Afghanistan.

They were horrified by three things: homosexual rape of boys, cruelty to dogs, and cruelty to women.

"The only answer is to trap, neuter, vaccinate and release the dogs and we are working with the authorities to set that up.

Guess this guy has never seen a dog pack in action if he thinks this is an answer.

So, they are acting like PETA, then?

‘Sounds like it would be a better way of ridding the world of ISIS members.

I see nothing wrong with this. It would be more humane to just shoot the dogs though. Strays with rabies are a menace. I’m a dog lover and have owned them all my life, but packs of wild and sometimes rabid dogs need to be put down.

islam = rabies

About 17 600 dogs were poisoned last year by municipal workers in the Afghan capital in an effort to protect residents from disease and to control the rocketing population of canines that roam the city's streets and open ground.

Good. The rat population should now explode. Maybe they will get the plague.

I’m going to have nightmares over this.
