Fair enough. Sorry for reacting reflexively to your wording.

Ideally, we should teach people that it's wrong to kill animals just because they're bothersome. Legislation, social pressure and changing mores can get that message across loud and clear and then we won't have to either neuter or kill strays.
Where I live btw, dogs -strays and not, alike- tend to die not stoned but poisoned. Whether that's on purpose, or the dogs eat something they shouldn't (like rat poison) I have no idea. The word on the street is that people leave poisoned food out on purpose to kill an animal that's causing them trouble (like killing their chickens) and then inevitably kill a couple more that they didn't intend to. I don't know how true that is.
That is of course extremely illegal, but nobody ever gets caught for it.
- srean 4y agoNo apologies needed, it was indeed poorly worded and I noticed it myself before you had commented. By then it was past the edit window. > Ideally, we should teach people that it's wrong to kill animals just because they're bothersome. Amen. > Where I live btw, dogs -strays and not, alike- tend to die not stoned but poisoned. We had one such case and I have no idea whether that was intentional. I would like to believe that it was not. It was my first experience of seeing one dog grieve another for weeks and then die months after because it had stopped eating.
