Bali Slaughters Wild Dogs
Bali authorities barking up the wrong tree.
March 13, 2009
When you think of Bali you probably imagine a tropical island paradise, right? Well, that’s certainly not the case for its canine population. Recent rabies-related fatalities have prompted authorities to point their fingers at the island’s wild dog population. Their solution? Cruel and unnecessary mass slaughter using a lethal injection of strychnine. What’s worse is that wild dogs aren’t the only ones suffering. Since the majority of Bali’s domesticated pups roam freely, animal companions are also in danger. Experts at the World Health Organization assert that vaccination and education are the keys to combating rabies; not murder. Help put an end to this inhumane campaign by signing an online petition from the World Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
