Tens of thousands of street dogs roam Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal. These often sickly-looking canines scavenge for food and often hang out around tourist attractions. Many carry rabies. The city government formerly set out poisoned meat at night to control the street dog population. Fortunately, one nonprofit animal rescue organization’s “catch and release” spay/neuter/vaccinate/treat program has replaced the poison method and saved thousands of canines.
