100% is a big achievement in street dog unavailability - much harder than, say, 99.999%. In k-nines (un)availability, the cost usually increases by 10 * k to increment k by 1. It's tempting to imagine that they didn't actually get to 100%, and there are some hidden holdouts who have escaped the program and will re-establish the street dog population covertly.
Intentional pun? :)
I wish Turkey would do this too. Street dogs gather in packs and periodically attack people: not just small children, they go after grown men and women who are just walking down the street during daylight hours. This is true in major cities, like Ankara. When I’m there I avoid walking around after sunset or in areas without people, primarily because I don’t want to be stuck in the open with 3 or 4 hungry street dogs…

Yes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_meat
While traveling SE Asia I didn't see that very often. Besides in some rural areas (and even there), dogs turned into pets as in western "civilization" and their owners didn't want to eat them anymore.

The real problem is the “people” who attack the dogs for no reason and teach them to be violent. Dogs are very social animals and they learn to respond to the society they are in. Where I live the biggest problem we have with stray dogs is we feel sorry for some of them being obese.

They already do? If you see a dog that has their ear marked, it means the dog has been sterilized by the municipality. If you want to help, you can take ant stray dog to a vet and they will sterilize the dog for free. The real problem is the “people” who attack the dogs for no reason and teach them to be violent.

The ones you see sitting around in the same spot on multiple days are eartagged, but there are a lot more transient ones.

Bhutan is deeply buddhist
Hopefully you don't have to be a Buddhist for that. Also I don't really see the advantage compared to sterilization.
There is fundamentally no difference between animal consciousness and human in the buddhist view.
But to take it to a human level: you dont see a difference in (chemical) castration of people with mental disability and killing them?
