The stray dog menace is prevalent in almost all cities in Sri Lanka specially in Kandy, Colombo and Galle. Although there seems to be a Sterilization Programme, little has come out of it. In Kandy there are thousands of stray dogs running around the city. In other cities it is worse.

The Government has a duty to eliminate all forces threatening human lives and accordingly they should take steps to eliminate stray dogs.

What is the use of having stray dogs all over the country although animal societies like KAPAW or sathva mithra talk so much about it? If killing terrorists is a social service, killing stray dogs will also be a service to society as it has become a real threat to everybody including school going children.

It is high time we resorted to the previous system of eliminating stray dogs.
