Pakistani filmmaker Sabeena Farooq has launched a campaign questioning the widespread practice of culling stray dogs as a method of population control and rabies prevention. Her initiative follows a surge in dog culling in several cities, including Islamabad and Karachi, driven by public fear following reported rabies cases and dog bite incidents. Farooq’s campaign highlights the availability and effectiveness of vaccination programs as a humane alternative to killing the animals. She is actively seeking answers from authorities regarding the rationale behind prioritizing culling over vaccination, citing concerns about animal welfare and the potential for creating a vacuum that allows new, unvaccinated dogs to move in. The campaign utilizes social media to raise awareness and gather public support for a shift towards more compassionate and scientifically sound animal management strategies. Advocates argue that vaccination is a more sustainable and ethical solution to controlling the stray dog population and preventing rabies transmission. The issue has ignited a national debate on animal rights and public health policies.
