So back to 1965 one kid named Alfred (long Italian name I am not giving out) was attacked by 7 dogs. He got 117 stitches he lived and the scars healed well as most bites were on his head. 3 or 4 Italian wise guys went to the hole and shot 17 strays to death. We never had a stray dog problem again.
Sometimes you've gotta clean up the vermin.
Well, in Romania, that's never easy. You have to fight with bleeding hearts, international NGOs and lawyers while people are regularly bitten, attacked and sometimes killed. There's enough material I'm sure to write volumes about the bullshit in Romania around stray dogs. Shortly after the fall of communism, lack of funding was the main stumbling block but any time there was an attempt to solve the problem, it would get bogged down in litigation and bureaucracy (thanks to international NGOs and assorted famous people) so the population of strays has waxed and waned over the years. Sterilization and adoption just doesn't work once the problem gets so big. There was a woman out for a jog who was killed by a pack of stray dogs just last year in the north-west of the Bucharest. Turns out she was attacked less than a year earlier in the same area but was saved by a couple of cyclists who happened to be nearby. (Why!?) Romania needs a few "wise guys".
