By legalizing euthanasia of stray animals they are being treated as a plague that deserves to be exterminated. Dogs are domesticated animals and do not throw themselves on the street or choose to live such a harsh life. The problem does need to be dealt with, but there are more compassionate and humane ways that are more effective, simply killing feral animals DOES NOT WORK, other strays just move into the area and replace those killed, people still dont bother to get them fixed (they wont be the ones dealing with the consequences, or suffering as a result)and so continue to breed their pets, abandon them when they have too many/they become an inconvenience and so contribute to the problem and perpetuate the suffering. You cannot deal with any problem effectively if you do not address the source, in this case irresponsible owners, lack of education on proper animal care, a throwaway attitude-even towards other living creatures,& indiscriminate breeding. In the meantime Trap/neuter/return is a proven, effective, and much more humane way of keeping stray and feral populations under control. These dogs should not have to pay with their lives for being abandoned or born on the streets due to the fault of some apathetic ex-owner. The. decision made on October 5, 2013 needs to set an example to all the citizens of BH. It needs to show that BH can reach the high standards of civilized world. It needs to show that BH has a heart for all its citizens - four-legged and two-legged. It needs to show that BH cares and the rest of the world will appreciate it. That is why I appeal one more time: Bosnia and Herzegovina please dont legalize euthanasia of stray animals!
