The stray dogs which keep Singa-
pore residents awake with their rowling are being shot at the rate of 40 a day.
The local Municipal animal in- firmary carried out 2 campaign against stray and unlicensed dogs, and its four shooters, combing' the districts every day, shot over 1,000 dogs in each of the last four months.
that last
When it is realised year alone S.572 dogs were re- gistered, and that 9.698 others were destroyed either by guns or by lethal means, it will be appre ciated what an incredible number of the animals are housed in Singapore.
The registration rate is four a day one tenth of the "shooting" rate."
It is considered by the authori- ties that the huge army of stray mongrels are not responsible for the cacophony which sets up every night in suburban districts.
