For the past fifteen days, OIPA Cameroon has been treating stray animals in the Bafut  village in the North West region of Cameroon. During this period, over 200 dogs and cats have benefited from this initiative, however Wednesday, 29th June 2016, has been a very sad day as we discovered a black market of dog meat. This trade has been going on for many years since none stood up to fight against it, to protect these animals, nor educate the community on the impact of dog meat on human health and on the animals.

This shocking picture shows exactly how the animals are prepared for consumption.  Anyhow, four dogs were recused from the hands of the perpetrators of this horrible crime by OIPA team. Taking any picture was prohibited until a hidden camera caught   an image. The restaurant owners refused to take photos, nor talk to OIPA. A consumer  has asserted that, over 10 dog are killed every week and dog meat is popularly known as “johnny four foot”.

While our team is hoping to launch a campaign against dog meat, we are also seeking  international support so that the Government of Cameroon put a ban the dog meat in  our country. 

The majority of the dogs killed for this inhuman trade, are stray dogs: animals with no previous medical check up which can confirm their health wellbeing, and so exposing human health to different, but equally dangerous, risks.

Nepal Animal Welfare and Research Center (NAWRC) is one of the most active OIPA’s Member League.

It is dedicated to rescue, relief and treatments of animals. Particularly, NAWRC realized the Catch-Neuter-Vaccinate-Release (CNVR) for street Dog Population Management.

NAWRC operates in Kavrepalanchok District of Nepal, but it needs supports for infrastructures and resources. It already completed the Dog Population Survey in Banepa Municipality. Since the Catch-Neuter-Vaccinate-Release (CNVR) Program has started 22 female dogs and a male dog have already and successfully been neutred and desexed in Banepa Municipality.

In order to spay one female dog $25USD are needed. Currently, the estimated population in Banepa Municipality touched 1,100 dogs. The density is extremely high, and there are 5 dogs per 100 people. The gender-based proportion is 6 males every 4 females.

One female dog gives birth to almost 8-10 cubs in a single litter and there are usually two litters in a year. So, every year 16 puppies more for a single dog, creating a generation of street dog, that will increase up to 67,000 more street dogs in 6-years time period.

The major is the number of street dogs and the major the negative consequences will affect society: and so 20 puppies mean 20 possible road accident, 20 times noise and crowds in matting seasons, 20 times more suffering, 20 times fecal contamination etc… Is it possible to control this? Of course.

How to control it? There are different possibilities, but only one can be realized and at the same time be morally acceptable and efficient… Birth control. All other options (poison, re-locate, beat to death, …) not only are not human solutions, but are even useless. Killing a certain number of animals simply reduce competition between males, but in any case female dogs will get pregnant with the remaining dogs and will give birth to puppies.

Birth control is the only possibility, because it eliminates the possibility of female to become pregnant again.

NAWRC have saved the life of 1.100 street dogs, has educated 14.000 peoples to have compassion for animals and be responsible towards street dogs.

To carry this activity forward, funds are necessary. Every single dollar donated helps neutering the street dogs, helps to buy the necessary painkillers and antibiotics, helps saving lives.
