As i just stated i dont know. A solution is not going to be found by one person, with little education, on a website. The solution can be intiated by that person though, and with help maybe a solution can be found. Instead of just writing off a problem as unsolvable after a mere 15 mins pondering it, maybe thinking about how it can be achieved would be more beneficial.

Thats not a solution. Thats great you send money. And someone at some point came up with the idea for that foundation. And had help from others to get it going. Now look at the good its doing. Doing the same for Iraq is hardly impossible.

I like animals and have pets. But when terrorists do the same thing shown in this video to innocent people, people here show less outrage. Just my initial reaction.

Dogs can be trained. How are you not seeing this as possible? If you dont believe thats fine. People that dont believe can never achieve anything great.

It appears they have made that choice - did you read the article? 1 million feral animals targeted, an Iraqi solution to an Iraqi problem, supported by the Iraqi people... I'm certain there are other sources, should you be interested in searching for them.

It was an IED being detonated and this video is old and has been rehashed over and over again to deface the U.S., just like how you're doing now.
Yes its cruel and uncalled for, even though dogs in Iraq are known to carry disease.
Teams of veterinarians and police shooters have killed some 58,000 stray dogs in and around the Iraqi capital over the past three months as part of a campaign to curb an increasing number of strays blamed for attacks on residents.
The Baghdad provincial government said in a statement released Sunday that 20 teams have been moving around Baghdad and the outer-lying districts daily looking for and putting down the dogs. The operation, which was first announced in late 2008, only truly took off this April after funds were allocated for the project.
The surge in strays — estimated by provincial officials to number around 1.25 million — is ironically linked to what officials say is an improvement in some elements of daily life in Baghdad, a city that for seven years has been struggling to return to normalcy after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion to topple Saddam Hussein..
