MAY - 16, ISLAMABAD,
Animal rights activists have criticized leaders of Pakistan's largest city for the mass poisoning of stray dogs, saying the policy inhumane and ineffective.
"There are just too many dogs. But you don't just give the dogs poisoned food and kill them," Ayesha Chundrigar, who works with Karachi-based non-profit Animal Rescue, told NBC News on Thursday. "We need a proper spay-and-neuter program."
The government of Karachi, which struggles to govern a city of some 20 million, has tried a variety of tactics to deal with the thousands of strays roaming the city, such as shipping them to an uninhabited island, rewarding citizens to shoot them, and now poisoning.
