Our partner on the ground, ADEL, recently conducted emergency assessments and community meetings throughout the area. What they found was heartbreaking - hundreds upon hundreds of abandoned dogs scavenging for food, growing weaker by the day, and increasingly viewed as a threat by frightened residents.
And now the situation is turning deadly!
Some local leaders and villagers, desperate and afraid of rabies outbreaks, have begun discussing mass killing as the solution - shooting, poisoning, and clubbing dogs to death.
Not because these dogs are vicious.
But because they have been forgotten.
