The strays are around cos of the attitude of the locals to their dogs!

My neighbour has a 3 yr old bitch who has produced 18 puppies in 3 years!!!

I have offered to take her dog for sterilisation in my car 2 times now.....I`ve give up...she says she can`t afford it ...or that people who have un neutered male dogs should tie them up and not let them roam ......not suprising there are so many strays if this is the attitude of the owners.

I am a serious dog lover and it greives me to see these dogs scavenging...even dogs that have homes here with the Goans go scavenging as they are bottom of the chain and survive on left overs.

Culling during the Monsoon has to be bought back!!

Yes Tina that;s right, believe me I'm involved in this where I live and it works.
The biggest problem is the locals will not pay for the de-sexing, so if it upsets you all instead of culling please dig deep and pay for these local dogs to be done and YOU will see the numbers drop down every season.

Please don;t give up, 18 pups/dogs over 3 years that will be hundreds of pups just from this one neighbour.
Where I live even though I know the local villagers have plenty of money they will not pay for the de-sex of there dogs and thats it.
Keep on at her, and insist its sorted out.
Culling is the last resort, its barbaric!

When I met the guy from IAR some years ago he was in touch with MG - there was some arrangement - maybe money, maybe visas; NOC's etc. I don't know.

MG is a way-out animal rights fanatic; she'd cull non-vegetarians before she'd cull dogs.

I find it barbaric that these dogs are left to roam - they are diseased, they are mangy, they are hungry, they scavenge, they attack each other and humans, and they have a horrible existence. Worse still if they are injured they risk dying a painful and nasty death from infection and the like.
Nobody wants these animals, they are unhappy. Surely it is far more barbaric to leave them in this state than to humanely euthanase them?

Even de sexing them does not give the ones I have seen roaming in packs a better life.

Are the dogs registered in her name? if not you don,t need permission from her to de sex those dogs, just call IAR and report this problem, they can pick them up do the op and drop them of she probably would,nt even notice that its been done.
