Because a 4 years old was killed by dogs while his grandma was at the shop. Yep, a 4 years old was alone in a park. Nobody says how he could've been kidnapped/raped/ran over by a car, etc, they just wanna kill the stray dogs. They say they don't have money to make shelters and killing them all is cheaper. I personally find this very stupid. There are stray dogs here since 40 years ago and nobody said anything until now, this "tragedy" allows people get a reason to bitch about it. Nobody says anything about the guy around the block that looks strange at you, they are scared of stray dogs. I wanna hear some outside opinions about this, so please, post. I live in Romania btw if anybody's curious.

There are around 65.000 stray dogs only in the capital, and most of them come from abandon. The abandon rate here is huge, so they would raise that number again in a few years.

They keep saying that they need around 60 Euros for a single dog every month, but we all know most of that money goes in their own pockets. They wannna do it humanely, even through 10 years ago when they said they will kill them humanely most of them were killed with shovels in the head...

thing is those never ever work.

look it up and find me one successful example

for example the one they're trying near my cousin. been putting out food with chemical sterilization for the stray cats. all it did was increase population density since sterilized cats stop being territorial and also don't trip territorial reactions in non sterile cats. The food means more can live there and it doesn't impact reproduction much since the cats can smell the difference and don't waste their time with ones that've been chemically neutered. And now the city can't stop putting out the food because they're worried about them being dependent.

and wolves are friendly loving creatures you can just walk up to and pet


but yeah packs of ferals are worse than wolves. Mostly because they don't know enough to keep away from humans.

with the fear of humans bread out of them they hang around cities.
missing a good chunk of their hunting instincts they go for the easiest prey they can find(soft targets like pets and humans, not something that can fight like deer). starving and desperate and more social than wolves they form huge packs and behave unpredictably, robbing dumpsters, begging off people one day and attacking the next. And they carry disease. Like with rats and cows close association with humans for so long means several of their diseases have adapted to jump to humans too.

mostly they take livestock and pets, but some aren't afraid to go after humans if they can get them alone or weak looking.

I have a half-dog half-wolf dog, and he is afraid of humans (mostly kids) because he was beaten when he was a few months all from some stupid kids in the neighborhood. So I took him and raised him and he is the most good and sweet dog/wolf you can see, but he has attacked humans a lot, and I assist on that and reward him because ALL the time he is attacking, the humans are just pet him with no reason and they do it out of nnowhere, not to mention that the rest are afraid so much like they are seeing a bear or something. Do you know that animals are beings like humans? What would YOU do if someone came to you out of nowhere just to play with your hear? Yes, animals love to be petted, but NOT all of them want it from strangers. First, teach your child to not bothers animals and be careful WITHOUT being afraided of the animal, and then blame the animal IF he did something bad. Actually, he did nothing bad. Do you know the number of the chicken dying every day in meat production facilities just to please humans' stomachs? Do you know what they suffer? Yeah, but I guess you are reason this by saying "it's all natural, it's all of survival", well, sir, that dog did the SAME FUCKIN' THING. He wanted to survive. So? Where is your reason now? Guess where...

I'm going to give you something to think about. Dogs are not people. Wild animals are dangerous.

There's nothing wrong of having chicken diying so that I can eat. It's called food chain. Also as I've said somewhere else, each species tends to work towards its own survival, putting ahead some other's before yours is rather stupid, if I'm the one to be asked.

Also dogs are not good, or bad. Dogs are amoral animals, you cannot judge their actions from a human ethics standpoint.

That's the problem with humanity, they take animals out of their natural environment to use them either as tools or a "decoration" in their homes. Too many people don't look at the long term commitment they're going to be taking on(This is of course mainly the "I like fluffy puppies" crowd), and when the dogs have left the "cute" stage and they become bigger and they realise all of a sudden that they don't have the time for it(or it's too big for the home) they decide it's an inconvenience so they just decide to get rid of the poor animal by releasing it. Ignorant people like this are the ones that should be shot, not the dogs; the dogs are just doing what their (limited instinct) tells them to do in an attempt to survive after being brought into this world just so that somebody can have something to play with for a few months.

Don't get me wrong, it's bad that a child has died, but I don't value the child any more than I'd value the dogs(seeing as it's humanity's fault in the first place they're there). A threat to humanity or not, they should be left. Perhaps it'll remind some of the ignorant scum in this world what happens when you abuse what could be a very good friendship between an animal and a human.

EXACTLY... Humans are not animals... They have no right on this planet anymore, they just conquered it... Murdering is the fact of KILLING without the approve of the VICTIM. An animal CAN be murdered and THOUSANDS of chicken are getting murdered on meat facilities just because humans are not even developed enough. Sorry to say that, but I prefer a Hitler to kill humans, than humans to kill animals, just because they have no right in doing so. An animal is more important than a thousand of humans, and that's no an opinion, it's a fact... No animals= No developement. Learn how life works, not what others tell you. It's like when politicians say they will do great stuff... Do you believe them? Well, I've got you some news too. Dictionaries are written by companies which are owned by men who are placed in their position by around to 8 men who own all the companies of the world, and they abuse the little ones, through politicians.

Wait? Murdering is the following Murder is the unlawful killing, with malice aforethought, of another human, and generally this premeditated state of mind distinguishes murder from other forms of unlawful homicide (such as manslaughter). and nothing else, your sensationalism is not going to change that.

What the hell are you even talking about. And seriously, if you prefer that humans are being murdered than some animals to die you are a psycopath.

Also your wicked opinions are not facts. I do know how life works and I don't even understand your mindless rant.

The question is, are you a parent or responsible for a little kid in any other way? Can you relate to the fear of one then? You like dogs, you know how to behave next to them. A child cannot.

They even go and poison the neighborhood dogs to go around and grab them afterwards for a family barbecue.

and something like a third of the human population doesn't have hundreds of nodules scarred into our brains(which may slightly dull reflexes and add a 2% risk of braincancer) from parasites caught from the fecal mater of stray and indoor/outdoor cats either

My only concern would be regarding the method, it should be painless and shouldn't affect anything but the stray dogs (I don't remember where it was, but in some city they decided it'd be a good idea to just leave poisoned bait lying around). I wouldn't be surprised if a significant percentage of the fogs are in a very bad shape and should be put down anyway.

Now, I wouldn't mind if they took the dogs to some shelter, but I doubt you'll find room for 65k dogs (much less people to pay for the needs of the dogs). It'd also be good if they initiate some campaign to educate people and maybe introduce fines or (more feasibly) introduce incentives for neutering. You know, so we don't have to go around mass killing dogs every X numbers of years. So yeah, I'll repeat: I have no problem with killing stray dogs. Stray dogs, once they reach a certain number, become a problem, they go feral and attack people, they shit all over, they become vectors of disease...

Well, you know what they are saying... The ones who kill animals, end up killing humans, and it's true. It happened a lot in the past. A few people who were assisting on the deaths of the stray dogs (even in humane way) ended up becoming murderers.

Indeed, there are too many stray dogs runnning around freely. It's sad that a child had to be killed for them to do something. It's even worse they have to spend like 1-2 million euros so the people can vote if they should be killed or not. Everyone is feeding and protecting them but no one would take a dog home.

With the money on the vote a big shelter and a lot of food would've been already made, lol.

To be honest, I just want them gone. It's just wrong that you have to go on the other side of the road when you see 20 dogs coming towards you or have to avoid dark streets at night. I know they are just protecting their territory but why do I have to get hurt because of that?

P.S. : What about the cows and pigs? No one cares about them?

A little tip for those who think that "killing dogs" is not that big deal...

Focusing on compare a problem with other problems and thinking which one is worst than others, won't lead to solve a single problem at all.

That's all folks

I think what he's saying, and what I agree with, is: If you want to solve a problem, the first step is not to bring up other problems that may or may not be bigger.

Some people like to sit around, and just compare problems all day. How about someone actually try solving a problem, by examining it on it's own merits. Seeing what is economically and morally feasible. Not "Uh, people are dying in Darfur!"(random example) because that does not solve THIS problem. Also, Darfur is probably outside of the purview of the Romanian Government.

a kid gets eaten alive(trust me canines don't really bother to kill their food, just shake it until they hold still enough and tear chunks off to swallow. their prey usually dies of shock from being eaten...and thats with actual wolves. most dogs don't even know how to properly kill something if they tried)and YOU PUT TRAGEDY IN QUOTES and claim the kid never existed because you're upset about the dogs

Although the dog killed that unlucky kid, it's an animal, what do you expect ? Dogs in this case, are like bullets, and the gun is held in human hands.

Nonetheless, people getting killed by stray dogs is pathetic. No other way to put it. In no way, shape or form is it acceptable for people to die gnawed by stray dogs in a major city, even it's a third world country.

This being said, mass euthanasia is a weak solution for a stupid problem that should've not existed in the first place. The only reasonable solution would be a city wide system of dog pounds. Let the dog freaks adopt as many dogs as they want, while keeping the streets safe.

question! What should we do? Take money from the budget to take care of 60000 dogs or put them in to hospitals were we have lack of funds? Yep, dogs! A lot of the fundations promised ten years ago that they will solve the problem through sterilization. Guess what? The number of stray dogs is on the rise as the number of atacs on humans. 16000 atacks only last year. We don't have a problem with puppies but with masses of stray dogs.

another question....don't pounds kill dogs?...alot? why take the crueler more expensive roundabout way just to feel better of "at least we tried"
nobody is taking dogs like these, and if they tried the city couldn't release a dangerous animal to them if they wanted to. they just get stuffed into tiny cages for half a decade and before going to the backroom and then the dumpster.

killing them is better. less painful for the dogs, cheaper for the budget, and more honest then sending them to a kennel everybody involved knows they're never leaving.
and its safer for the town than doing nothing. besides even with the pound idea many would be killed right off the bat because they're in that bad a condition when they find em.

Thats not a solution at all. Even the "dog freaks" wont adopt a pack of feral dogs. Its best, not only in terms of cost but in time, to just shoot feral animals. Yes, its "inhuman" but blame the lazy fucks that abandoned the animals after not caring enough to neuter/spay the animal.

it does'n't matter anymore why they reached high numbers, the problem is the adoption rate is like 2%. The problem exists and the dogs should not be on the streets. And money is a BIG problem.

Near the place I live there used to be a lot of stray dogs. They killed some family dogs and attacked people. Rarely there were news of deaths by them. This was around 10 years ago. Now you rarely see any strays. We had a huge program to catch all of them. Those that didn't find a home were put down with an injection. Now most of the shelters are pretty much held open by public help programs.

What I remember is that if those dogs have large packs then they won't be afraid of anyone. Having killed once, they will again. There aren't any strays here anymore, but I honestly can't imagine letting my child out knowing there would be. Dogs can be pretty unpredictable, specially in packs.

Here it was the public outcry that changed things, maybe it will be the same in your country as well? I don't think that having stray animals is in anyway a good thing, but there certainly are better ways to deal with this situation. Yet a corrupt government alone won't deliberate on those.

Stray dogs, if allowed to form packs, are a real threat to livestock, wild animals and even humans. There are safety and public health considerations to be kept in mind, and also environmental ones: both cats and dogs will hunt, thus damaging wild animal populations that IMO rank higher as something worth preserving.

In the long term, it's a good idea to try and make prospective and actual owners behave more responsibly; and as an animal lover, I find mind-boggling that people need to be taught to be respectful of their pets and animals, and not just treat them as disposables.

Short term, leaving strays around to do whatever they please is not what I would think of as a smart move. How the problem is better handled is an entirely different matter, and surely one that can be up for discussion.

There's no arguing, however, that strays are a problem to be solved, rather than something good that should be kept around.
