    Very good idea. If they run out of dogs they can check my street in Bacong, many lay in the middle of the road and don't want to move when you drive near them.

    That job should keep them going for years! Just riding up to valencia there are usually around a dozen or so dogs wandering around on the road.

    I hope they have the proper tools to do this job,and these dogs are quick so can't se a very high success rate. Far better to use a tranquilizer gun or even better would be .45.
    A couple of dogs opposite here who wander the streets every night causing mayhem and fighting with other dogs actually attacked a guy and kid on a bike the other day and again nothing was done. All pet dogs should be registered with the barangay which of course is never done.

    In Singapore they have a government organization called the Primary Production Dept.. they look after water leaks, illegal burning, and stray animals among other things.. When i worked in Loyang Offshore Base which was the dumping ground for "Christmas Puppys" that turned into unwanted dogs they had 3 Indian Lobourers who had a couple of old Lee Enfield 303"s. Crack shots at 500 ft. I asked where the dogs went and was told the Lions at the Singapore Zoo liked them,, imagine here it could be a Bario fiesta..

    A few years back there was a team armed with high power air rifles around Agan An beach. They warned everyone to keep their dogs inside their land or else.

    Around a week later the sound of popping and dogs dropping lasted about a week, since then there are more dogs running around half starved and full of mange. It's common to see dead dogs everywhere, that's one reason why I haven't walked my dog on the beach for a long time, the other reasons are those mangy muts constantly trying to fight my Rottweiler and the risk of what ever disease they are about to die from.

    Many of these dogs have a family but are poorer families or sometimes lower class families that just let their dog roam around at night. I've seen around my ladies families house so many dogs and each one that hangs around that looks like a stray actually has a family that 99% of the time just ignore the dog. To bad instead of putting these dogs down you could find out who the owner is and put them down instead.
