DEFINITION:
Destroying stray dogs means that to kill the stray dogs by using poison or guns to reduce
the stray dogs population. Stray dogs are abandoned animal which means any animal
whose owner/guardian has knowingly, intentionally or recklessly left it unattended,
without proper food, water or shelter, for twenty-four hours or more.
Other countries do using these methods like Jordan, Greece, India and even Brunei. The
effects of these processes are it reduces the population of the stray dogs but it gives an
unpleasant sight view and foul smells when the dogs been run away after they were killed
or been poisoned. This means that the used of poisons and killed are effective to reduce
strays dogs. But, this processes is not successful but instead they used other alternative
like sterilization and also in Brunei the used of the effective poison to kill a dogs within 5
seconds are been banned due to inhumane or cruel towards our culture.
These changes should takes place in the Brunei community either in residential area,
roads and supermarkets by the municipal worker and the police.
The obstacles that may prevent these changes for taking place are
1) Poisoning and shooting aren’t effective because the dogs will not die straight
away then the dogs tends to runaways which causes these methods take a long
times to destroy them.
2) Give a bad reputation to the country that chooses to use these methods. They are
both very inhumane towards our culture.
3) Destroying stray dogs is not a good sight-view and can give unpleasant smells
when the stray dogs are found dead lying on the roads or building.
Steps:-
1) Gives survey to the people so that we have another alternative to reduce strays
dogs
2) Do give information to the opinion column on the Borneo bulletin so that the
people in Brunei know about the law of the killing of stray dogs and information
about what other alternative ways to reduce strays dogs.
3) Tell the dog’s owner to register their own dogs so that the dogs are being able to
recognise as a pet.
