Yet our mayor and other mayors (specifically in Marikina), require dog registration costing roughly a dollar per dog and with the registration, you get to have free anti-rabies shots. I think that's a good deal.
In my city, we have free rabies shots because the mayor knows that people cannot afford to spend extra on this due to the poverty. So I'm just confused why it is necessary to beat street dogs in the eyes of the public?
If people are in poverty, then they shouldn't be having a dog. Dogs cost as much as a small child at least. It's not a good way to live in poverty.
In some culture, dogs are no different from cattle. Since cattle regularly get butchered, some people don't see a problem beating a dog to death either. Especially for those officials, since they are not the ones doing the beating. If they have to do it themselves, do you think they would do it? Probably not.
