World Baghdad to cull a million stray dogs as rogue canine population soars

[The Helper]

More than a million stray dogs roaming Baghdad are facing destruction.

The initiative has so far led to 42,000 strays being killed in only two months.

Teams of riflemen and vets are trying to thin out a rogue canine population that has reached at least 1,250,000.

Numbers grew hugely after the fall of Saddam because of the lawless state of the Iraqi capital.

Wow.

So many dogs?
Why not just sell the canines to China and make money?

 

[CysticCraze]

Don't tell PETA =S

Riflemen? Lame. I was expecting Arthas.

I doubt China wants diseased dogs.

this.

 

[SineCosine]

I doubt China wants diseased dogs.

On the contrary, I bet they'd consider it a delicacy even more because of that >.>

 

[Wummi]

Yes, Chinese people will eat anything that moves on 4 legs except for cars, and anything that flies in the air except for airplanes.

Luckily, we don't eat dogs in Taiwan,

How is this possible? If it's about humans, I'd believe that. But this?

 

[NightShade]

Riflemen seems a little bit gruesome but I'm ok with the culling if the dogs cause problems to the populace. Maybe I'm just evil though.

:thdown:

And that wasn't a good idea you thought of @SineCosine

 

[SineCosine]

I was thinking about the people of Baghdad and their well-being =P
They need some money, don't they?

Sure.. they need money but not in the way you thought of
and It would be Just horrible. Poor dogs

The dogs are infected and would die regardless, no?
Shooting them is saving them from years, if not months or days, of suffering.

It doesn't mean million stray dogs have it. It's Just plane bullshit and a eccuse to kill the dogs. No?

 

[tooltiperror]

You have no evidence they don't have it. In a dictatorship, nothing is known.

A lot is a problem. A lot less is also a problem. Whether you love an animal or not, they are not yours. It's nature wanting us to control it from overpopulation.

You may compare this overpopulation with China's human population.

It's like, a male dog lover loves a dog that's half across the globe, and the dog doesn't know him. So, why should he love this dog?

It's very similar to this philosophy from this famous Chinese person, Mozi.

I would say it's no one's!!
Well, Fuck that.. They poisoning and kill them in a cruel way.That's a big no no!!

Poison? I don't recall bullets having poisons in them.

 

[FireCat]

Poison? I don't recall bullets having poisons in them.

But see

The dogs are either shot or poisoned and their bodies are then taken to refuse dumps

and that's from the article
