This article from the Daily Mail is a damning
account of the dog control program on the island of Mauritius where the
catching, storing and killing methods as reported are very cruel and the
catchers apparently all too keen to include pets in their daily catch in order
to reach their quota of over 100 dogs a day.
With no rabies on the
island the stray dog control program is supposedly to protect the tourism trade
but this article suggests there isn’t actually a conflict between the dogs and
the tourists.
The Mauritian Government
may have their own side of the story but if this account is given wider
publicity in the UK, from where around 200,000 tourists travel to Mauritius
every year, then they will probably do far more damage to their own tourism
industry than the stray dogs ever did.
