So they wanna kill all the stray dogs in my country again

Chiar trebuia sa deschizi acesta discutie? Suntem batjocoriti peste tot in lume pentru cat de prosti si inapoiati suntem, chair trebuia sa le dai inca un motiv sa o faca in continuare?

Killing stray dogs AND cats is a good thing, they are dangerous and spread diseases. There are too many to even think of finding them homes, kennels, pounds, and shelters are all over filled already and there are thousands, even tens of thousands of stray dogs in every major city. And don't forget they aren't wild animals, they are the result of centuries of experimental cross breeding and inbreeding of wild animals by humans. If anything they should be killed because they pose a threat not only to humans but also to actual wild animals.

Save the skags!

We need more surveillance to stop people from dumping dogs. That, or have chips installed so when a stray is caught, we would know who to charge for the crime. People shouldn't adopt a dog if they don't want the responsibility. As for the remaining strays, it is probably for the best since they spread a lot of diseases and are a problem. Saying we shouldn't do anything about the dogs because we don't do anything about the criminals is ridiculous... why not do something about both?

Why kill fresh abundant sources of protein. Think of the low priced chinese orange or general taos we could have.

Edit: All joking aside I grew up in NYC as a kid,there were stray dog packs all over the place.A few that lived in my neighborhood they were not a threat.As long as you left them alone you got left alone.One of my friends (remember we were kids)lost a dare and walked in the opposite direction heading toward them on the same sidewalk.The dogs for the most part kept moving at him in a pack with the alpha dog in front.Closer they got more cautious they got but they started wagging their tails when they got close enough and saw he was no threat some even stopped to be pet til the alpha dog turned around looking at them and they all went on their way.

People are afraid of strays because of the minor number of attacks people have had that get overblown in the media.Generally speaking more people probably get bitten accidentally by pet dogs then strays.People forget that these "strays" were someone ones beloved yet,abused pet,or tossed pup/dog at some point. Not all of them have psychological issues with humans.However main issue with strays is the possible threat toward children more than adults. Once people fear for the safety of kids its a no win situation for anything people are afraid for the kids.

If a countries in general want to see an end to massive numbers of strays then -
1: spayed/neutered of a pet should become standard by law,
2:the allowing of breeders should not be allowed on a commercial level.
3:All pets must be registered as well as the person who purchased and owns the pet should be kept in a public accessible record.
4:The number of pet shops should be extremely regulated and kept to a smaller number then exists today, there are way to many pet stores in some areas to the point where they are almost everywhere like McDonalds.
5:Laws need to be tightened and enforced far more strictly across the board.Fines need to be raised greatly after any incident stipulated under certain events,community service should be a mandatory item for offenders of a certain degree and repeat offenders before jail time is necessary.
6:A strict but firm # of pets per house hold law should be made.If a person wants to open a shelter/sanctum then standards need to be kept at an all time high and people who turn in dogs that they are owner of should be documented that way it is on record this person could not care for a pet after a certain amount of time.That way if that person tries to buy another pet within an amount of time deemed unacceptable because of prior dumping of pet they will be turned down from legal pet ownership.

The items I listed might seem like a totalitarian approach but to me its a start and things can be changed as different situations would arise.Now as far as them killing strays across the whole country,the only other course would be to gather them all,check for ones that can be adopted, and the rest either put down or put in a canine sanctuary.

If the number of stray dogs in an area is becoming so problematic that they are forming packs and no longer feeling threatened by humans, then yeah, something should be done. However the fact they only decided to do something as a result of a really stupid human decision means this falls within "retaliation" crap. You know, like how if a dude smears himself with honey, runs through a forest and gets eaten by a bear, suddenly the authorities decide that it's "logical" to go out and try to find the bear that did it so they can kill it. Never did understand that.

You should have linked to the article, OP. There are often little bits of information that others might pick up on. Did she just leave the child in an open park lot, or within a playground area? Were there other people around or was the kid totally alone while she vanished off? Either way, it sounds like a solid case of (continued) human stupidity.

The dogs should be killed, along with anyone found abandoning a dog.

Kill a human, save an animal.

That's a HUGE number, buddy. Gotta kill'em all.

"Something's troubling me."
"What's that?"
"What does a bloody witcher eat, anyway?"
"Eh, mushrooms?"
"Spuds?"
"Why spuds?"
"'Cause he's a human, like us. He sweats, he bleeds, prob'ly eats spuds, too."

I don't really see why you would put that word in quotes, but yeah, it is a tragedy.

Where're those PETA guys ?

I'm also romanian and have watched the insanity they are showing at tv these days , people actually want to kill all the straydogs here, this thing is horrible , i totally disagree with this and hope that someone will do something to stop this madness

Welcome to the civilized world. There should not be any stray dogs roaming the city, especially 65k.

Not surprised, stupidity and ignorance it's a common trait of humans; stray dogs saved my GF from getting raped once, they've been in my family for generations, i have nothing but respect for those animals, a better question would be, why the hell would you leave a 4yr child alone, away from your sight, for even the slightest moment? The grandma is to blame.

Probably better than kennels.
Kennels normally are just short term holding areas as they get around to killing them always, and they often do not kill them at all humanly. This way, as I see it, at least you have a chance that they will be put down in a relatively quick and painless manner.

I just agree with you. this is stupid really stupidddddddddddd. If he want to kill dogs then he should start killing himself? LOL. also with those who are in the government.. e_e

and wtb. That was grandma fault really who left a kid alone in the park just to buy something in the store?...

65 thousand dogs is a lot. I bet they cause a lot of trouble (besides killing small children). The authorities really should control their population.

So this kid could have been kidnapped or raped, but instead he was eaten by a pack of dogs. Doesn't that make dogs more of an issue than kidnappers and rapist?

welcome to modern media, most of north america doesnt even know the pacific ocean is just filled with radiation, just the local media at its finest, miley twerking is more important then life threatining issues (SRY if it was said i didnt read much)

EDIT i agree killing stray dogs is a tagity

This is kind of ridiculous, I mean, two dogs attack a unsupervised child, blame should be on the Grandmother, and those who who abandoned the dogs, I mean, you hear of people killing/robbing to survive, well, this seems like the exact same.

In addition, you get lots of people who murder, rape, etc and they barely get anything, certainly not put to death, let alone put every convicted / suspicious person to death, so again, quite ridiculous.

I don't know, I am an animal person, so perhaps that clouds my judgement, but at the same time, we have high number of homeless that fill the cities, should be kill all those while we're at it too?

Anyway, this won't solve jack, either the problem will rise up again, or next time they'll take it even further, until you know what? They'll be nothing left.

Also this incident seems not to be something isolated but part of a bigger problem Here's another death caused by those stray dogs

The problem is that no one seems to care until something like this happens.We had a good number of stray dogs for more than 40 years.The statistics show that tons of people are bitten,injured etc every month.But when a 4 year old dies all hell breaks loose.This problem feels like it appeared out of nowhere.When the kid got killed no one even cared.They all acted like the dogs aren't even there.But now suddenly they care.Well it's too late now because the kid is already dead.From my experience in this country the problem will just get boring and will vanish from the news in a few weeks.And no one will do shit.

I remember when Ukraine and Poland hosted the Euro 2012.The Ukrainians had tons of dogs on the street and they suddenly started to care about that problem.They spent money to kill/catch and lock up any dogs they could find so they will host the tournament and look good.Now I think no one cares and the dog population is starting to grow again.

This is the 3rd death caused by dogs in Bucharest in the past 20 years. I feel sorry for the kid's parents but I cannot agree with killing the dogs. Most dogs in Bucharest (70% or more) are actually dogs abandoned buy owners.

The whole system is a problem here as well as the people.

Things go like this: the dogs are caught and taken to some shelters for a limited period of time (30 I believe). From that point on people or NGOs can adopt dogs and raise them in private shelters, homes, yards etc.

Here, the dogs are to be sterilized after they are caught (or at least they should be) but if you are fast enough you can adopt a dog, provided that you are willing to sterilize it and take good care of him. You even have to provide a proof that you did it.

Now, the so called animal lovers think that keeping dogs in shelters is animal cruelty so they decide do do "good". This being said, they go to a vet, pay him good money to provide them with the necessary paper that the dogs are sterilized and so they can take it home. Same for NGOs that technically they should keep the dogs in shelters (like the dog that killed the 4 years old boy actually).

But most of the people simply let the dogs go after they take them from the shelter, without even sterilizing them (this again, is cruelty). Same thing goes for the ONG that take money from donations but do nothing for the dogs.

So if you ask me the problem is not the dogs but the humans. They refuse to let the dogs in shelter, because it's cruelty. Most of them refuse to donate money to those NGOs that actually do something (we do have a few that actually do their job), preferring to give money to the church, because "the church is poor". If asked about the dog problem they complain that the politicians do nothing to fix it yet when they do, everybody says it's cruelty. Now a kid died and of course, the government is the problem but killing dogs is a no-no. (again, I am against this but those people don't know what they want).
Another stupid thing is that those who have dogs don't sterilize them (even though the law says they should) and leave those dogs 'have fun' with stray dogs every time they see fit because "you cannot deny this to your dog".

I myself have a neighbor that "adopted" 20 dogs just to let them go the next day in the park across the street. Moreover, she feeds them (not a bad thing of course but...) and she leaves food all over the park so now I have 40 dogs across the street. :| Sure, they don't bite me but I have to escort all my friends that come in visit to make sure they are not attacked.

So first they should sterilize the dogs. All those that try to stop this process should be fined but the fine should be so high so that they think twice before they act. Of course, the law exists but is not enforced properly.
Then, you should not be allowed to grow dog packs in a residential area. Again, the law exists but is not enforced properly.
Also, you shouldn't be allowed to have too many dogs and you should be forced to sterilize them, to control the population. And again, the law exists but is not enforced properly.
Abandoning dogs is illegal as well but 80% of those who actually own a dog did it at least once.The most common case is when a female dog gives birth to 10 dogs, the owner keeps 1-2 max and the rest are thrown on the streets. But nobody enforces this as well.
Then, all public and private shelters as well as all NGOs running them should be severely punished if they don't do their job and keep eating public money for nothing.

Of course, there is another big problem with Romania and it seams most Romanians here refuse to say it so I will.
Romania, like most Easter European countries, is a very religious and superstitious country. So instead of building schools, hospitals, shelters for homeless people and stray dogs/cats, research facilities, infrastructure etc. we build this piece of shit that already exceeded that 400 million euros budget twice, mostly with public money (Romania is the country with 18k orthodox churches - BBC & IMF studies show we build 1 church every 3 days :| - and only 1800 schools and 420 hospitals).

So, they could take some money from that middle age building, build some real shelters, not shelters that cannot host more than 100 dogs, gather all the dogs there, sterilize them and take care of them.
Some of those dogs could be trained to do some serious work (lots of NGOs trained dogs to work with sick kids, save people in danger, look for drugs and so on and it worked just fine), some other dogs could be adopted FOR GOOD, by serious people that won't throw them on the streets again and the rest could die in peace there.
Meanwhile, you should actually have a Animal Police/PETA organization to make sure all those things mentioned above are properly enforced. The punishment should be sever, to stop retard people (those so called animal lovers) from risking the life and health of animals and humans.

In a few years the problem will be solved for good. And this is the best way to solve it. There is no fast solution to this. All those that claim killing all the dogs is faster are either stupid or ignorants. There is no way to gather 65k dogs fast. No matter how you take it, this will take months, if not years.
