Re: [perth] Ways to reduce strays......

perth, your action as well as others like you, are very noble!
i hope more and more people will form rescue/action groups in their community.
yes, the scene you have described is very common in my area as well, as here is also an all chinese community, where the bitches are not strays, they are owned, but allowed to roam, can't simply go and catch them, and the ppl here won't call DBKL. Roaming dogs are a norm.
indeed, spaying strays is one way to lessen future strays. but the spayed homeless strays will be a nuisance unless it is feed. or shipped to no kill farms.
about the mobile vet, would the spayed bitch be fit enough to be released right after surgery?? she might chew the wound etc.
so how do we reach the dog owners to get them spay their dogs?? honestly they won't giv a damn, what to do? offer to spay for them? FOC, still dun wan?? what if my dogs die, you gona compensate?
but i still believe, there are some who is willing to co-operate, they just don't have the time and don't know how to get it done. if we offer them help, they will take the offer.
one idea is to stick a poster in those chinese kopitiam, to tell them about free/low cost spaying program, the benefits etc. some will buy the idea. volunteers can collect the dogs from them.
it is really hard to change ppl's mentality.....
some radical ideas that i have, but it will work in a perfect world, where there are no corruption, strict enforcement.
for a country like Msia, the gov will be happy if you don't keep dogs, or eat pork rite? ok pork is another issue 
if the gov pass some laws to control dog breeding and ownership.
Main aim is first to eliminate all strays and zero dogs in pounds.
Breeding is not allowed/illegal.
Selling dogs of all breed is illegal.
Set-up a special Assc or maybe MKA to control all pedigree dog breeding activities. Main purpose of breeding is to preserve the line of the breed, not for profit.
Any one who wish to own dogs, adopt from the pound until there is no more dogs left in there.
Pedigree dog litters, the pups are to be sold off by ballot, anyone can submit. Strict identification of the pups and ownership will eliminate the possibility of dogs being stolen.
Until all the strays and pound dogs are gone, then pedigree breeding will be slowly allowed to grow.
Still, only qualified dog breeders with proper facility, controlled litter, and amount of bitches are allowed. All pups must be neutered before allowed to sell...
many ways.. but without enforcement and with corruption, and ppl crying human's right infringement .. its hard to get it done.
but country like SG shouldn't be a problem....
No Buying! No Selling! No Breeding!
Don't Lost your dogs!!
Please make sure they are safe at home!
