Veterinarians without Borders - Canada: Chile Program

In Chile, street-dog overpopulation is a serious and multi-faceted ethical, socioeconomic and public health problem. Canine overpopulation not only threatens the health and welfare of the dogs themselves, but also impacts the health of people, wildlife and domestic animals. Dogs in this region are dying at an alarming rate from disease, malnutrition and neglect. And while there have been numerous attempts to deal with the problem, the public's perception of the issue remains extremely varied. Thus, developing a long-term and sustainable solution has been a challenge.
