#2Stray dogs are a real issue in developing countries like Russia and India. They can be aggressive since they're wild animals.

#4For me, the modern war on dogs is that I can only walk my dog in my neighborhood (I live near the beach), before 7am and after 6pm. I get it, there are plenty of bad dog owners. It is still just a bummer that a few bad seeds ruin the fun for everyone else.

This is interesting. Stray cats and dogs are all over Istanbul but the city appears to take care of them collectively. The government keeps them all up to date on shots etc., and there are little bowls and kennels all over the place hosted by citizens and cats loll about the stores.

#8>when it was unclear how easily pets could transmit the virus to humans, the UK government considered ‘that we might have to ask the public to exterminate all the cats in Britain’. Three years on, the mere suggestion of a cat cull was met with horror.
