Dear Madam, dear Sir,

I am contacting you regarding the Baghdad dog-culling program and the problem with the overpopulation of strays in Iraq. This is a situation that could have easily been avoided, had proper animal control been implemented. I understand that the stray population has increased drastically over the past years, and that the government's priority is the safety of the public, but indiscriminate culling, besides being inhumane, has proven to be ineffective in controlling dog populations. The remaining animals breed more successfully while the competition for resources is reduced. The current choice of eradication causes extreme and prolonged agony. The shotgun blast rips into the dog's midsection, most often resulting in several minutes of agonizing pain before death. Death by poison is a brutal method that causes a prolonged intense pain and immense suffering. Strychnine poisoning is among the cruelest killing methods and is condemned by animal protection and public-health organizations around the world, including the U.N.'s World Health Organization. It is also impossible to differentiate a pet from a stray, while no steps are being taken to ensure that pets are not culled. Even if the government reaches a manageable stray population, it would require repetetive cull programs to maintain the population level. Without adopting new solutions, Iraq's stray population will never be controllable and the inhumane practices currently being used would have to be continued. This is unacceptable. There are humane alternatives that have proven effective. In order to manage the stray animal population, the government needs to adopt a long term approach that uses a combination of tactics, including the implementation of a spay/neuter program. Mass neutering/sterilization schemes are already operating within other countries that face similar problems and have proven to be completely effective in managing the number of strays. Laws mandating the sterilization of all owned animals would aid by preventing unwanted births. Furthermore, these dogs culls reinforce an idea that the life of an animal is meaningless. Dog culls thereby only reinforce a culture of violence towards animals. Measures need to be taken to change the public attitude towards stray animals..

I ask the Iraqi government to stop the inhumane killing of stray dogs and to implement humane methods through education, vaccination, and spaying and neutering. Please work on developing a long-lasting solution for controlling the dog population in Iraq.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

c'etait le bon vieux temps quand les americains massacré cette sale race de frustré qui se venge sur d'innocent chiens
