Let’s think of kinder ways to treat stray dogs


WHEN complaints about stray dogs arise, the authorities tend to act quickly, leading sometimes to drastic actions.

I would suggest that they pause and ask if all of the complaints are valid before taking any action. Not every concern about stray dogs stems from a real threat, and some issues may be based on misunderstanding or fear.
