>We learned that Dr Grant of HSI wants to sterilize the dogs in Ulle and/

>Tsunami striken areas of Sri lanka and release them to the streets on the

same day . iFAW also

>plan to do the same .Sterilization is good and we thank them for funding

these programmes

>Releasing the dogs to the streets on the same day is not a humane method

to adopt by any body .Many have opposed the idea and told me that they have

informed the representatives in Sri lanka about that.

>

We learned that Both Ifaw and HSI would release the dogs to the streets on

the same day .

>.We don`t expect to count the number of dogs which are sterilized.

>If they do so the dogs will become infected and die .The beaches of Sri

Lanka have been infected with decaying bodies and turned in to grave yards.

> Sri lanka is very hot these days and there would be rains .The

environment is unhygenic and

>is ideal for breeding flies and maggots .The infection is quite easy come

fromthe sand .

>These dogs will suffer as a result of maggots and bacterial infection and

suffer and die very slowly The maggots will eat them when they are alive.As

a veterinary surgeon I believe the treet dogs need rest food and hygenic

conditions to heal the wounds

>They should be fed inside a temporary shelter for at least one week or few

days before releasing them .

>the people in North East are not animal friendly.They have to move them to

another area.

>They may kill them as they have killed a homeless cow also to eat .

> The best sterilization programme in Sri Lanka was done by Edith Zellweger

an animal lover from Switzerland.

>She organised that quite well and did a sterilization programme in Kandy

dog pound.You can read about her work in following web site.
