This is a sad scenario. For how long should we continue losing innocent lives when we have responsible Government institutions which should control ownership of dogs in this country? Government should urgently put in place the following measures:
1. Nobody should be allowed to own a dog without a proper enclosure such as durawalls or perimeter fences.
2. All free roaming canines should be shot dead and owners of such dogs imprisoned.
3. The public should be allowed to report any breaches and toll free numbers to be provided.
4. Owners of unvaccinated dogs to be imprisoned without an option for a fine
