Stop Inhumane Dog Killings

I am appalled by the inhumane killing of dogs in Bali following reported rabies cases on the island. As you may know, strychnine poisoning is extremely inhumane and can cause intense pain before causing death by asphyxiation. A sustained program of vaccinating at least 70 percent of the dog population is the only humane and effective method for controlling rabies in animal populations. This should be done in conjunction with laws mandating the sterilization of all owned animals in order to prevent unwanted births, humane euthanasia of rabies-infected and unwanted animals, and humane-education programs in schools that teach children how to prevent rabies. These are the most effective ways to reduce stray-animal populations and control rabies. Please call off this cruel massacre immediately and establish an effective and humane program to control rabies.

Respectfully yours,

[Your name]

MSG from WSPA – Petition to save dogs

“Bali’s dogs are dying….In a kneejerk reaction to six suspected human rabies fatalities, the island’s authorities have killed over 1,000 dogs. This number could rise dramatically.  The animal suffering is acute. Strychnine is being used to poison some of the dogs, leaving them conscious and convulsing until they eventually suffocate. People are suffering too – the vast majority of victims are pets that are allowed to roam freely.”
