For more on this, read story <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/ml_iraq_stray_dogs">here</a>. Killing of stray animals may not seem like a big deal to a lot of people in the context of what's happening in Iraq, but is appalling and begs for an alternate and humane solution. It's also probably, very sadly, representative of the conditions and measures taken in most third-world countries. This ugly episode is a wake-up call and behooves animal aid agencies to collect funds and introduce programs like the <a href="http://bluecrossofindia.org/abc.html">ABC program</a> implemented successfully by the Blue Cross in parts of India.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1211367062583321183-2502141291848237634?l=paws-india.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Paws-Indiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08172981787461371394noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211367062583321183.post-21592110066362279322010-06-20T15:24:00.000-07:002010-06-20T15:32:04.368-07:00This blog is affiliated to the organization, PAWS India, which is the US arm of the <a href="http://bluecrossofindia.org/">Blue Cross of India</a>.
