Dear PM Imran Khan, Please End Barbaric Practice of Dog culling (killing) in Pakistan!
Why this petition matters
Currently in Pakistan as I write this 1000s of friendly stray dogs are being poisoned or shot dead every hour by the government of Pakistan. There are many NGOs like Rabies Free Pakistan, CDRS, and ACF who are working on TNVR (trap, neuter, vaccinate, release) programs in all major cities like Karachi, Islamabad (capital) , Rawalpindi, and Lahore. The issue is instead is supporting their work government actually sabotages their work by killing vaccinated and neutered dogs so all that time, effort, funds to make this society less dangerous is wasted and leaves everyone heart broken. The government doesn’t amend or enforce the law from 1890 against animal cruelty and even allow residents to murder dogs and doesn’t jail them. The crime of the dog? He was sleeping under a tree near the neighborhood.
The barbarity doesn’t end there - sometimes the local city officials say they will stop the culling but make backend deals with housing society administrations in Pakistan who want to kill them by supplying them with dog shooters and poison who come early morning or late at night to shoot them and take their bodies leaving behind pools of blood as the only indiction of the poor dogs demise. When there are programs like TNVR in place there is no need to use barbaric methods to massacre innocent animals - especially man’s best friend.
Just in the last 5 days oct 4-9th, many mother dogs in Rawalpindi were killed leaving behind 35 puppies of which some were put in sacks to suffocate to death. The people of Pakistan and overseas Pakistanis who want this country to use 21st century methods to take care of stray population are against this torture of dogs. We plea and demand the Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan and his government to stop this cruelty against dogs. He has two pet dogs so he should understand better than anyone that dogs are sentient beings. He says that he wants to make this country a Muslim welfare state then why is this genocide taking place? What are we teching to the kids of Pakistan and around the world? That Islam allows violence against God’s creatures ? This is no way to solve a problem! Please end dog culling completely!
