When i was in Bayawan the dog catchers came around every week a guy on a bike to find and shoot the dog and 3 men in a truck to collect the body. Sounds cruel but every kid could ride a bike or people could walk there dog with out the worry of stray dogs being a problem . But why not here?

 

I agree that it is the responsibility of the owner to keep their dogs off the streets, properly fed and immunized would go a long way as well. I've seen some local dogs that do not leave their "yard" but most are just running wild. I'm a dog owner/lover as well but if dogs can not be taken care of then I am all for dog catchers to capture and cull (too bad you can't do that to the irresponsible owners).

Sad thing is many of these dogs aren't even really strays but belong to Filipino's who just leave them out and don't really give a d*mn about them. They seem to think having a dog around at times that they occasionally throw scraps to will somehow protect them. More of my near hits from dogs like this I can tell isn't a stray but someones dog.

So rather then just putting the dogs down how about putting some of the owners down as well? After all nothing will change when the owners don't face any dangers and obligations towards their dogs.

 

As a dog Owner and lover I don't like to see animals just shot dead but have to agree that where there is doubt about the Dog, then yes Culling is a must.

 

Glad nobody was injured! I have had similar experiences in PI it's not just a Duma problem.

Once riding down Perimeter road in Angeles city a local came screaming past me probably going 100kmh as we neared the turnoff for VFW Post 2485 and a dog came running out into the street the local slammed on the brakes to avoid the dog but just fishtailed right into the large dog with such force it catapulted him off the bike and unfortunately right into a concrete telephone pole head first. Needless to say he was not wearing a helmet and died immediately. As for the dog the bike hit it squarely in the middle of the back and severed it's spine and it was trying to run away but only had use of his front legs and was just making horrible noises and going in circles until another local came out and put the dog out of it's misery. Very sobering incident to say the least. Since then I ride very defensively and at speeds safe for road conditions only.

 

Amen to that bruv, scurvy , flea infested , uncared for and a menace on the roads, and as for the dogs , where do you start !!
