Eleven Dogs Per Day Put Down
According to the Belfast Telegraph, eleven dogs per day are put down because they simply have nowhere to go.
Ireland does have a real stray dogs issue, which was apparent to me within 15 minutes of arriving in Dublin earlier this year.
As a whole, the UK puts down 18 unwanted dogs each year and Northern Ireland accounts for 11 of these, a pretty high proportion!
There is some good news. The Dogs Trust charity says the numbers are lower than last year so we’re moving in the right direction.
A spokesperson said:
Further Thoughts and Related Products:“Dogs Trust is working closely with local authorities in Northern Ireland and for the past nine years has run extensive education, neutering and microchipping campaigns in the area to tackle the issue of stray dogs. Figures from our Stray Dog Survey and from DARD both show that the number of stray dogs in Northern Ireland has dropped gradually for the past ten years. Unfortunately numbers now seem to have reached a plateau so in 2009 we will be increasing our campaigns presence in the region and focusing even more in the areas of greatest need.”
