Poisoners threw poison around Gostivar, dead dogs on the streets
A new case of mass poisoning of street dogs was recorded yesterday evening in Gostivar, reported the local portal "Gostivar Press".
After the two disturbing cases in Struga, in which a thug killed a large number of dogs with a rifle, and a few days later ten more were poisoned, yesterday also on the streets of Gostivar, helpless and poisoned dogs could be seen in several places, the portal writes.
- Yesterday evening in Gostivar, several poisoned stray dogs were observed in several locations. Citizens say that they were horrified by the sight - the animals lay helpless in agony on the street. A large number of innkeepers condemn the poisoning of the dogs, demand that responsibility be determined and respond that the authorities should solve the problem of homeless animals in a humane way, according to the laws - writes "Gostivar Press".
For years, animal protection activists have been appealing for the problem of street dogs to be solved by those who are responsible for it - the municipalities. But while local and central institutions are constantly shifting the responsibility for solving the problem, the streets of our cities are becoming more and more unsafe - less because of biting dogs than because of violent people - shooters and poisoners.
