Title: Stray dog


1
Stray dog CONTROL IN JORDAN BY THE ABC PROGRAM
(Animal Birth Control)
2
Introduction
  • The presence of stray dogs old order where dogs
    used to live with a man in the search for a
    suitable environment for subsistence and
    reproduction .And that's where communities
    continue to waste collection within the
    gatherings temporarily area, the presence of dogs
    to search for food , which is in abundance in
    this waste will continues.
  • The presence of stray dogs within the communities
    cause number of problems and the most important
    is
  • Direct problems
  • - Cases of biting human , or the fear caused by
    the aggressive behavior of these animals.
  • - Attacking poultry and pet animals or sheep.-
    There are problems due to human habits and
    traditions where others do not accept the
    existence of these dogs inside communities
    population.Indirect problems
  • - Causing traffic accidents.
  • - Noise.
  • - Transfer of zoonotic diseases and the most
    important is rabies.
  • - The waste of all types of dogs.

Classification of dogs (in Jordan)
4
The traditional way for dogs control at
municipality of Amman and the other
municipalities was by

-Shooting (at GAM other Municipalities
) -Poisoning ( at other Municipalities )
5
Why does the Municipality want to kill Stray
Dogs?
  • The Municipality is under pressure from certain
    sectors of the community who see the dogs as a
    nuisance, and afraid, also transmit of rabies,
    and most of the municipalities used hunting and
    poisoning to get rid of these dogs due to the
    speed of response to these methods to solve the
    problem , and because of its low cost .
  • The World Health Organization did not
    demonstrate any study and there was no evidence
    that get rid of the dogs lead to the disposal of
    rabies, So that lead global organizations and
    government searches for ways to control the
    presence of stray dogs ,more humane and more
    efficient to control the presence of them and
    problems arising from dogs presence.


6
?
Also it shown by experience that the traditional
way of controlling stray dogs by shooting or
poisoning give us a poor output on the long run
and did not solve this problem in the right way
also there's a high risk by using these ways. By
that we start to focus on this issue and start to
look forward for changing these ways with an
efficient way give preferable result ,by that we
start the ABC program (animal birth control ) and
such a program need highly corporation in the
different sectors which interest with this
problem to get a sufficient result

Its a fallacy to believe that killing street
dogs will bring down their numbers. But
castration them helps in reducing and stabilizing
their population

abc
A program with the aim of reducing a stray dog
population to a particular level and/or
maintaining it at that level and/or managing it
in order to meet a predetermined objective
Animal Birth Control/ABC Program involves
sterilizing street dogs, vaccinating them against
rabies and releasing them back into the areas
where they were picked up from.

8
The current situation
  • For the implementation of the program
  • We need the infrastructure and equipment which
    is
  • Traps.
  • Necessary medication. Anesthesia
    guns. Cages. Dog grips. Cars.
  • We need a site.
  • We need training.
  • Media plan to cover the project.

Analysis of the internal environment
  • Strengths
  • 1 - The existence of a particular department at
    GAM application of methods and means of the
    Animal Welfare (vector control and animal
    welfare) representative by of Animal welfare
    division.
  • 2 - provide specialized and qualified staff.
  • 3 - provides statistical data and databases about
    complaints of stray dogs exist in the areas of
    GAM.
  • 4 - The presence of the Animal welfare center and
    equipped with the tools and services needed in
    the area.
  • 5 - provides operational resources of vehicles
    and specialized medical tools.
  • 6 - multiple means of communication (radio Hua
    Amman. Communication channels social) represented
    by the Department of the communication at GAM.

12
Analysis of the internal environment
  • Weaknesses
  • 1 - the lack of training courses to the staff
    (in many level). 2 - lack of human staff to
    cover all regions of the Greater Amman
    Municipality.
  • 3- Shortage in some of the basic requirements for
    the application of the program. 3 - The lack of
    a database of dogs owned in Amman. 4 - and the
    lack of a data base showing density and
    distribution of real stray dogs in Amman.

13
Analysis of the external environment
  • Opportunities
  • 1 - international trend toward activation of
    this program and the presence of international
    experiences to take advantage of it. 2 - The
    presence of co-operation of institutions and
    non-governmental actors 3 - Supporting senior
    management

14
Analysis of the external environment
  • Threats
  • 1 - Lack of awareness and social culture among
    citizens. 2 - get rid of the owned dogs without
    regulation. 3 - the accumulation of waste inside
    the town leading to the emergence of dogs because
    of the abundance of suitable condition for the
    breeding and food. 4 - uncontrolled
    proliferation and unregulated breeding sheep in
    residential neighborhoods and on the border areas
    and the presence of dogs with this situation. 5
    - The presence of border regions and
    municipalities on neighboring opened and infected
    with stray dogs. 6 - behaviors by citizens not
    to accept the presence of dogs in residential
    neighborhoods. 7 - the lack of laws and
    regulations for the organization of work in this
    field.

15
Additional Polices and processes required in
the implementation of strategies to control the
stray dogs
  • - Plan to find scan density of stray dogs. -
    Environmental control which appropriate for their
    living and breeding populations such as the
    removal of waste. - Sterilize and vaccinate dogs
    owned and non-owned so that it is reducing the
    transfer of common diseases.
  • - Reliance on education and awareness to educate
    the community about the humanity ways to deal
    with stray dogs and most effective which lead to
    benefit to their environment and health.
  • - Appropriate laws and legislation to take care
    of animals.
  • - Euthanasia for dogs which is patient and
    aggressive.

16
recommendations
Working to produce legislation to ensure that the
application of international standards for animal
welfare is adopted and abided by.
Development of Units for Animal Welfare in each
municipalities to coordinate with each other in
Jordan.

Introducing the subject of Animal Welfare in the
curriculum of colleges of Veterinary Medicine and
raise the level of interest by the Veterinarians
through seminars and workshops specialized in the
field.
Because dog ecology is linked with human
activities, control of dog populations has to
be accompanied by changes in human behavior to be
effective.
Formulate strategies to local or even global
awareness programs linked to raise awareness of
the rights to the concept of animal welfare as
interest and benefit to human and his health to
develop into actual behavior.
