How do different countries deal with homeless dogs?

Some collect them and send them to shelters, some poison them, some shoot them, some even eat them.

Oh goody My thumbs down fairies have arrived. Its about time you guys woke up. :-)

Some countries don't really have a big homeless dog program becuase mandatory spay/neuter programs are strictly enforced. Unfortunately,other countries who do have the problem sometimes use mass euthanasia to rid the streets of homeless animals. I believe a couple of Asian countris made the news last year with shooting dogs in the streets....

Where I live there is a native reserve where they have large packs of dogs running around with distemper. In this case, they go out there and shoot them.

Otherwise, the Animal Control Officers will go out and catch them, bring them to the shelter, assess them for any temperment problems or aggression and see if they are able to go up for adoption.

If not, they euthanize them. We don't have many packs of dogs running around here in Alberta, Canada though.

And I think the word your trying to translate is maybe a mutt? or stray?

Here in the Philippines, many people take care of dogs as pets but there are also homeless dogs. We call them 'askal' or 'asong kalye' (aso means dog and kalye is a street) No one takes care of them they are just like scavengers looking for food everywhere....

well we have dog catchers that collect these dogs and put them in shelters for people who want to adopt them we also spay and neuter our dogs so the can not repoduce and a lot of strays running around

Not to change the topic, or offend anyone......

but i heard the skinned dogs and cats for there fur in China.

I don't know if its true, just what i heard.

Sadly, they pretty much put them to sleep. In the U.S., you take them to a shelter and still, after so long, they get put to sleep. Very sad

The answer is in Vietnam cooking tradition- they has many different ways to do it...
