Recently the Sindh Assembly was informed that as many as over 630 cases of dog-bites have been reported on average every day. That figure comes down to 26 individuals bitten by dogs with every passing hour.<\/p>\n
Following this disclosure, both the opposition and treasury benches decided to fight instead of coming up with solutions to this doggone problem.<\/p>\n
The PPP government rejected the allegations hurled against them by the opposition, while they accused the provincial authorities of sitting idly by like cats.<\/p>\n
Chorus of “shame, shame, shame,” rang through the Sindh assembly, even devolving to:<\/p>\n
\u201cSindh se kutee bhagao, Sindh ko bachao [Evict dogs from Sindh, save Sindh].\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The PTI, which formed the opposition, even brought in photos of kids mauled by dogs. In return the PPP MPAs retaliated by calling Fridous Shamim Naqvi, the opposition leader, a liar.<\/p>\n
It was Naqvi who raised the issue about dog bites, telling the government that staying silent won’t help. He refered to a horrible incident in Larkana where six stray dogs hurt a minor boy. The boy was shifted to a hospital in Karachi, without any help of the Sindh government.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe boy was attacked by dogs, but unfortunately, he did not receive first-aid or treatment from the local health authorities.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Furthermore, Naqvi condemned the government by saying:<\/p>\n
\u201cIt looks like the government does not exist. Where are the anti-rabies vaccines and what efforts you have made to deal with the issue?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
