I have never heard of city officials poisoning dogs, and i would assume all hell would break lose if they did, most Mexicans let their dogs lose
around the neighborhood, and that would kill plenty of animals that do have homes. So i really doubt tthey have, on the other hand, is sadly but
common for some people to poison a dog because its too agressive, too loud, or out in the area crapping all over the place with no supervision from
the owners. Best thing you can do is keep your dogs inside the yard, and let him loose 1/2 an hour each night right before you go to bed. This will
provide proper exercise for you dog, and lower the posibilities of some loser poisoning him.

I have never seen it but was told that they come through the neighborhoods here with poison hotdogs. So two years ago we got these huge orange tags
for our dogs that tell the powers that be that they have had their shots. My vet would neither confirm nor deny the practice but he did give me these
tags to protect my pups.
Now that we have a humane society the problem of strays seems to be less.

Dog poisoning by local gov has been practiced in Loreto for a long time.
The Animalandia spay and nueter clinic is under construction and is a more palatable alternative to hungry dog herds, but without some kind of control
a dog population can assume dangerous proportions in a fairly short time. Since their volunteer staffed sterilization program began a couple of years
ago, I have noticed a decline in street dog numbers. Sterilizing a single dog must eventually equal slaying dozens as a control measure.
Find out more about Animalandia and how you can help.

If true, somebody in Loreto should start a protest in order to stop it. It is a very painful way to die for a Dog, so i wonder why the locals and
foreigners accept this.

the only way you will get them to stop is to find another way to take car of the problem that is cheaper for the city.

Don't ya think a dog/cat licensing program would work? Could be a preventative measure no? This could make troublesome dogs' owners responsible.

Us gringos could bring down poodles and release one poodle for every stray dog adopted to alter the gene pool of the stray dog population just for
laughs.

It could Pam but it would take 365 days a year enforcement to do it and you know how well that works in Mexico.
