The ‘orphan’ disease

Dr. Naseem Salahuddin in DAWN:

The need is to institute a programme for animal birth control and for the vaccination of domestic, community and stray dogs, which is the only proven method of animal rabies control. Under the law, it is mandatory for pet owners to get their animals vaccinated but as is common here there is no enforcement of the law. Ad hoc immunisation of a limited number of dogs, and culling are unsustainable over a period of time and a waste of resources.
