I have been reading this thread with interest since the announcement was made on Tuesday of the Major's decision concerning the island's dog problems. I'm horrified to think, as many of you are, that there is no other way to handle this problem, but I do appreciate that there is a forum for exchanging points of view here.
With respect to all of you, I would like to say that my personal view echos Collyk's. All living creatures are of value to me, and I hope for a more humane way of handling the stray dog situation will soon be considered both for the animals and for the people their empty lives have affected.
I am a long time visitor to the island currently hoping to call AC my home soon. Yes, I've had serious second thoughts about my choice of a new hometown, and honestly I think this incident in San Pedro has given me additional food for thought. Hoping to hear some more thoughtful news on the part of San Pedro officials soon!
