Tell Indonesia to Stop Inhumane Dog Killings!
Authorities in Bali, Indonesia, are using strychnine poisoning—an inhumane and violent killing method—in a misguided attempt to control rabies and reduce the population of stray dogs on the island of Bali. Please use the form below to ask authorities to stop using strychnine and other poisons to kill dogs and instead turn to humane and effective rabies control methods.
Strychnine poisoning is among the cruelest killing methods and can cause severe pain and discomfort before death. Its use is condemned by animal protection and public-health organizations around the world, including the U.N.'s World Health Organization.
Experts agree that mass vaccination of the dog population is the only effective way to control rabies outbreaks, and local groups are already working hard to vaccinate as many dogs as possible. Please call on Indonesian authorities to stop the inhumane killing of dogs in Bali immediately and instead push for authorities to work with local and international animal protection groups to develop a professional program for controlling rabies and reducing the dog population.
