The island state of
Bahrain has announced plans to rid its streets of stray dogs within five years
after two serious attacks on children in the last month according to the Gulf Daily News. The Bahrain Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is in talks with authorities to follow their trap-neuter-release program.
However, this report
states that the first attack was on an eleven-year-old child who was “mauled by
five pet dogs”, followed the next day by a baby being “attacked in the same
area”. Yet again this looks like
street dogs being blamed for the deeds of pets and the suggested use of
trap-neuter-release of street dogs seems to be a misdirected solution.
