Ire over excessive catching of strays


JOHOR BARU: Dog lovers are up in arms over what they claimed as inhumane manner in which some councils here are treating the animals, including overcrowding in dog pounds and catching them at night.

They claim that dog-catching exercises by private contractors have increased significantly as councils try to achieve quotas or manage their key performance indicators, a move that has resulted in the animals being kept in inhumane conditions, causing deaths or injuries.
