6/6 This vehicle is a symbol of betrayal, corruption, and human failure. But it can also be a turning point. Raise your voice. Share their story. Demand justice. Because silence enables slaughter, and compassion can end it. SHARE!

5/6 And this suffering isn’t confined to Pakistan. In Turkey, too, stray dogs are hunted, poisoned, and shot in the streets. Across borders, these animals live and die unseen their cries drowned out by bureaucracy and indifference. ⬇️

4/6 This is not the first time. Pakistan’s CDA “Stray Dog Control Centre” has already been exposed for starvation, abuse, and neglect. Now, a vehicle full of corpses confirms what activists have warned for years: this is a policy of cruelty, not care. ⬇️

3/6 Among the victims today: Pregnant females Newborn puppies Healthy adult dogs They weren’t sick. They weren’t dangerous. They were simply unwanted - and slaughtered. What kind of system calls this “management”? ⬇️

2/6 The Capital Development Authority (CDA) was created to serve and protect the public including humane stray management. Instead, its facilities have become death traps, where dogs are starved, beaten, and killed under the guise of “control.” ⬇️

1/6 Today, a vehicle full of dead dogs including pregnant females and puppies was discovered in Islamabad. Linked to the CDA, this isn’t population control. It’s state-sanctioned cruelty! #StopCDA #AnimalRights #TNVR #islamabad ⬇️

13/13 But there is hope. By sharing resources, supporting CNVR, & advocating for humane laws, we can reduce suffering. The world can change. No dog deserves to be left behind. #StrayDogs #AnimalWelfare #CNVR #StraySolidarity

12/13 From Delhi’s streets to Tangier’s alleys, Karachi’s markets to Mexico City’s suburbs stray dogs are woven into the fabric of human life. Their suffering isn’t inevitable. It’s the outcome of policy choices, neglect & misplaced priorities.

11/13 The crisis cannot be solved by culling. Humane, lasting solutions require Catch-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return (CNVR) as standard Education to reduce abandonment Stronger welfare laws International funding for sterilisation Recognition & proper care of community dogs 🧵⬇️

10/13 Global Inequalities Western Europe: strict sterilisation & microchipping laws nearly eliminated strays Developing regions: under-resourced → cycles of breeding, disease & culling War, displacement & poverty fuel new stray populations 🧵⬇️

9/13 National vs City-Level Numbers 🧵⬇️

8/13 🇷🇴 Romania: A Legacy of Neglect 500k–600k stray dogs Constanța: 8k–10k dogs, 3,286 killed in shelters in 2024 alone EU membership pushes sterilisation over mass killing but overcrowded shelters remain a crisis. 🧵⬇️

7/13 🇲🇦 Morocco: The Struggle of the “Beldi” Dogs 1.2–1.5M strays (some estimates: 3M) Tangier: 30k CNVR programmes are emerging, but poisoning & shooting remain routine in many regions. 🧵

6/13 🇵🇰 Pakistan: Millions at Risk 3M stray dogs nationwide Karachi alone: 200k Mass poisoning campaigns still common Authorities frame culling as rabies prevention despite growing calls for CNVR as a humane, effective alternative. 🧵⬇️

5/13 🇹🇷 Turkey: A Country Divided 4M stray dogs New laws: municipalities must catch, sterilise, shelter; euthanasia permitted for “aggressive/diseased” dogs Many shelters are failing dogs, culling & cruelty exists 🧵⬇️
