Every month thousands of HK’s dogs are treated as nothing more than vermin to be exterminated. Killing homeless dogs is ineffective. It does not control the population because the vacuum left is soon filled by other dogs who move in to utilise the resources available, or by the surviving dogs who use these resources to raise more puppies.
The best way to humanely reduce the number of street dogs is through the Trap, Neuter and Return (TNR) programme. The population is soon all desexed, with no breeding the population goes down. This project has worked excellently well for HK’s cats. A prime example is LAP’s cat TNR programme initiated on Lamma Island. Now it is time to help the dogs too.
*Please come and show your support at the following Public Consultation Sessions organized by the AFCD.
We must show that WE WANT TNR in our areas.
We CAN make a difference!
