Health Concern of Dog Disposal: Mass dumping causes alarm

Open disposal of dog carcasses in a Yerevan suburb are not only evidence of brutal elimination of strays, but are a health hazard.

Veterinarian Arman Elbakyan, who deals with issues of stray dogs, found three pits near Nubarashen highway, each containing corpses of 20 dead dogs.

"We have found the territory, because we knew that the Yerevan Municipality had given a space for neutralized dogs somewhere here. But the most terrible thing is that they [the holes] are open and they are a source of epidemics," Elbakyan told ArmeniaNow.

According to Elbakyan, at least the external examination shows that the dogs have been killed by a weapon and by an application of violent force.
