Bali's provincial husbandry agency is continuing its effort to curb rabies by culling stray dogs across the island.
'Rabies can easily spread among stray dogs as they usually bite each other. To curb rabies, it is essential to control stray dogs by culling them,' agency head I Putu Sumantra said on Wednesday.
Your comments:
I would gladly dedicate my time to catch and vaccinate dogs. Saving these precious creatures should be a mandate.

A small village recently implemented a ban on owning dogs after a second rabies fatality. A 4-year-old died when none of the hospitals that his parents took him to were able to treat him. It's sad all around. Having enough affordable vaccines seems to be the biggest problem.
