Killing street dogs has a reverse effect and in fact leads to increased reproduction and to strays becoming more aggressive towards humans, warn Armenian animal rights activists concerned with the recent trend of dog population control in capital Yerevan.
Save the Animals NGO representatives say they have been receiving a large number of calls from residents with a request to stop the carnage of stray dogs that usually happens in Yerevan backyards and streets in the dead of the night.
"There is a more civilized way of solving the problem of street dogs than a mass slaughter of animals. After being sterilized, hormonally dogs become less dangerous, and there are no more concerns about their getting together in packs, reproducing themselves, etc.," says the charity's head Nune Mehrabyan.
