Bhutan's
nationwide stray vaccination and sterilization programs
are a huge
success. | | |
This Country's Humane Approach
to Stray Animals Is an Inspiration. More Countries
Should Follow
Suit. | | |
While some governments
around the world view street dogs as a nuisance, not
something to be invested in, the Kingdom of
Bhutan did something wonderfully different — and
wonderfully humane.
After a decade-long
project requiring significant investment, time, and
effort, Bhutan has become the first
nation in the entire world to have fully vaccinated and
sterilized these stray animals!
Spay
and neuter programs are extremely important because they
reduce the number of unhoused, hungry animals wandering
the streets and facing harsh conditions. Street
animals live dangerous lives, without consistent food,
shelter, or medical care, and at constant risk
of injury or death from vehicles.
Instead
of resorting to euthanasia or other deadly measures,
these programs aim to control the population and provide
care for existing strays in a compassionate
way.
Vaccinating street animals is also
important in order to protect public health.
Unvaccinated and unaltered animals can spread diseases,
such as rabies, to humans and other animals.
The
Kingdom of Bhutan has shown that investing in a
compassionate spray-and-release and vaccination program
can promote animals' and humans' health. If Bhutan can
do it, so can other countries!
Sign the petition urging the
governments of major nations, including the United
States, United Kingdom, India, and Japan, to implement a
similar
program! | | |

P.S.
Bhutan's decades-long investment in nationwide
vaccination and sterilization programs should be a role
model for other countries. Sign the
petition. |
