Dogsey

It's unfortunate they can't treat and re-home the animals but there was probably nothing else the government could do with all those dogs so quickly. This is of course political so is a huge issue.

It's almost never the governments fault that dogs overpopulate towns and roam the streets so much. We know whose fault that is. That being said, there was probably nothing else they could do.

Brazil does not have many humane societies and places to house tons of stray dogs, which is why they are on the streets to begin with. Killing healthy street dogs is a negotiable subject itself.

I mean wandering dogs can be dangerous, regardless of how healthy they are. Also, it is not always possible to tell a healthy dog just by glancing at it. I see very few truly healthy looking street dogs where I'm from and can't fathom that there are tons in Brazil, either.

The problem lies far deeper than this possible killing of healthy dogs...

Funny is that they didn't think this would be necessary or a health risk to local people living there. It's only when the world's spotlight is on them that they're doing something about it, and they're just brushing it under the carpet, not really providing any solution. A bit like what the London government did with homeless people before the Olympics in 2012.

It's not exactly surprising they used to do it to street kids.
