Guest guest Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Please TAKE ACTION now! The dogs are innocent, and Bali needs to take a humane approach to vaccination and TNR. ------------------ World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) <wspausaHelp stop the inhumane dog cull in BaliSaturday, March 7, 2009, 12:44 AM To view this email as a web page, go here. March 6, 2009 Dear Friend, Right now authorities on the island of Bali, Indonesia, are killing dogs in the street. In a kneejerk reaction to six suspected human rabies fatalities, the government has started culling dogs in a misguided attempt to stop the spread of the disease.So far over 1,000 dogs have died - many are being poisoned with strychnine, which leaves the animals fully conscious while they suffer convulsions and eventually suffocate. As a tourist hot spot Bali cannot afford to lose its 'rabies-free' status. However, the Balinese government's response to this suspected outbreak is ineffective as well as inhumane - a dog cull does not attack the root cause of the disease and cannot safeguard human health.Take Action - Sign an online letter to the Balinese governor, asking him to end the cull and adopt a humane approach to rabies prevention that will protect both animals and people. Thank you for taking action to stop this terrible cruelty. Sincerely, Dena JonesU.S. Programs Director Please add wspausa to your contacts list to prevent messages from WSPA being identified as junk mail. Read here for more .
