For dog lover's only - Turkey's Stray Dog Massacre

I dont have a problem with this. The dog's destroyed/killed were those strays who behaved aggressively and refused to be taken away - thereby endangering those tasked with collecting them.

However, it is clear some people took matters into their own hands and decided to 'help' the official collectors by killing those local dogs that they had issues with for years.  That must be addressed and stopped - they should continue with the cull.

They certainly help a lot more than doing nothing. 

No...it just improves the strength of the population.

The dogs culled are rapidly replaced by new liiters...up to 3 a year by stray bitches.

Thenew ones are also are not vaccinated so can spread zoonotic diseases like rabies.

The only effective way is a combination of capture, neuter vaccine and release and sorting put how human garbage is controlled.

So long as there is garbage, there is a food supply for dogs and the population responds accordingly.

It's very arrogant of humans to blame the dogs when it is thehumans fault they are there in the first place.Culls are just a reflection of ignorant the authorities are

Your opinion that seems logical but does not work because it takes a lot of effort to constantly catch and neuter the dogs.  The only clear solution IMO is both - catch and and either neuter or destroy those without a home. That is why we dont have the same dog problems in the west.
