The Capital Development Authority (CDA) and Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) administration have decided to ban the shooting of stray dogs in Islamabad.
The Chief Commissioner and CDA Chairman, Amer Ali Ahmed, chaired a meeting at the CDA headquarters on Monday to discuss solutions to controlling the population of stray dogs without shooting them.
The meeting was attended by the Deputy Commissioner (DC) Hamza Shafqaat, Advocate Owais Awan, CDA officers, representatives of non-profit organizations, and animal lovers.

DC Islamabad stated that the shooting of stray dogs has been banned forever, and it has been decided that the municipal by-laws will be amended to eliminate the clause that permits it.
Consequently, the city managers will collaborate with the animal welfare organizations like Rabies Free Pakistan, Animals Birth Control, and activists to vaccinate stray dogs and make Islamabad rabies free.

Prior to this development, the solution to get rid of stray dogs in Islamabad had been to kill them, for which the apex civic authority had a special dog shooting wing. However, other options are being explored now.
Advocate Awan said, “Today’s meeting remained very positive as the shooting of dogs has been banned. It is good to see that the government is taking this issue seriously. After two weeks, another meeting will be held to chalk out further strategies”.
sell them to china instead
This is a good point. We shouldn’t think about profit here and should instead get rid of the stray dogs. The Chinese will themselves vaccinate the dogs and arrange transportation for them to be exported.
callate idiota mejor te mandamos a vos para alla gusano de la sociedad te apuesto que no eres niun aporte para la vida
Or they could sterilize them and stop them from re populating.
TNR is the best humane solutiom
Killing of stray dogs is a great cruelty. Govt should establish stray dogs Centers and manage for them for meal.
Stray dogs may be donated to China & Korea.
Donating them to china and korea is equally cruel. We need animal shelters where they are fed and kept.
mejor te matamos a vos cerdo ignorante mal parido
Must get rid of stray dogs. Best way is to export these dogs to China. After all there is no usefulness of these dogs. Govt. must have pity on common citizens likely to be attacked by dogs.

Very good effort should be followed through out the Country on immediate effect, and there should be penalties for the same. Also government gives incentives to such NGOs who want to do such good work.
At last sense has prevailed. Allah created them like us, what right do we have to kill or injure the animals
I have a neighbour who has been attacked by a stray dog. Imagine if its your young son or daughter. Kill the stray dogs or take them away from cities. Why do the dog welfare organisations want the stray dogs to stay in the cities in our neighbourhood.
