Media play an important role in raising public awareness and in no way should they spread fake or misleading news when it comes to the difficult life of stray dogs in our country.
Although there are cases when stray dogs attack humans, the main sources of dogs aggression towards humans are often forgotten or deliberately neglected. The dynamics of dog behaviors depend heavily on the human behaviors in a community or society.
The unfounded and unnecessary hysteria that is often proclaimed by the media about stray dogs, makes people continue to see them as dangerous and incites even stronger hatred towards them.
Without emancipation and social education/awareness, the situation of stray dogs will never improve. We expect the media to be correct, ethical and professional when reporting on sensitive issues such as stray dogs and their poor coexistence in the community.
