There are millions of stray dogs in Morocco, running in packs, terrorizing school children, and often attacking people. What is often done now will not reduce the dog population long term. Poison, bullets and starvation are the methods mostly used today, but there are other ways to reduce the population of stray dogs that will actually reduce their numbers.
Sterilization, vaccination and release is the best approach to reducing the number of unwanted dogs. Dogs that are sterilized are not going to reproduce, and over time, the number of unwanted dogs will diminish. This is the humane thing to do.
Ferrol cats are also a problem. There is a program used in other parts of the world that could also be used in Morocco. It is called TNR, trap, neuter, release. This is similar to the program suggested for dogs, but because the cats are more difficult to catch, they must use humane traps to catch them.
Many humans are hurt by the packs of wild dogs that roam Morocco. Sterilization and vaccination are the best way to reduce their numbers.
