Balinese government needs humane approach to rabies prevention

I received an e-mail from the World Society for the Protection of Animals this morning. According to the e-mail, Bali, Indonesia, had six human deaths, and the government suspects rabies. In reaction, it has poisoned more than 1,000 dogs in the street with strychnine, which leaves the animals fully conscious while they suffer convulsions and eventually suffocate.

If you are as disturbed by this as I am, please sign this online petition asking the Balinese governor to stop the poisoning and adopt a more humane approach to rabies prevention.
