Unnecessary culling
Every year, 10 million dogs are poisoned, stoned and electrocuted to death, in an attempt to stop the spread of rabies, which kills 59,000 people each year.
Culling dogs does not stop the spread of rabies.
This is not a humane or responsible way to manage dog populations.
The best way to protect dogs and people is to vaccinate them.
Vaccinated dogs are super dogs
Once dogs are vaccinated, they become a powerful barrier between communities and this terrible disease:
- Vaccinated dogs slow the overall rate of infections
- Vaccinating dogs protects many people, while vaccinating a person only protects that individual
- By vaccinating 70% of the roaming dog population, we can eliminate rabies.
We've achieved amazing things for dogs
