The government has officially halted the cull and committed to ending these cruel practices. This victory belongs to everyone who stood up for the animals that could not speak for themselves. Keep monitoring local reports to ensure this order holds firm.

In Sri Lanka it is illegal to kill Dogs.
Heartless Sri Lankan Minster Faizser Musthapha has ordered to kill the much loved street dogs of Sri Lanka.
23 Dogs were stabbed with poisonous substances in the Moratuwa University and also 10 cats which included a mother cat. University students had recovered the bodies of these animals buried in a pit. Many animals that were still alive has been seen wondering in a daze. How awful and heartbreaking is that? They can't speak to ask for help?
Some of these dogs were spey/ neutered by rescue organisations.
This is not the first time the Minster had killed dogs.Mainly done without the knowledge of the community. Hiring people to kill Dogs were published in the newspapers.
Few months ago Sri Jaywardnapura Kotte University. 100 dogs/cats were also rounded up and killed by the same Minister's order.
Many dogs were rounded up using nets and transported in broad daylight to a destination unknown and their fate unknown.
2000 Dog skulls were found in remote bush land few months ago, later the Government using the excuse they were not Dog skulls but Goats.
Dogs killed in Rathnapura and Kaluthara.
We are demanding the Sri Lankan Government to STOP killing off man's best friend.
Please sing our petition to help our beautiful Dogs.
We are their only voice.

This is a disgrace for the entire Sri Lankan country. Enforce your laws making it ILLEGAL to kill dogs. Shame on heartless Sri Lankan Minister Musthapha for his cruelty. The animals die a horrific, painful death from poison. END THIS BARBARITY.
Disgusting. Tourists don't mind dogs and cats around. Get them spayed instead of killing them and your problem will be sorted humanely. Very poor decision on governments behalf. Hearing this horrible news puts tourists off going. I for one will not be back.
Please stop murdering helpless animals. To kill them by burying them alive is atrocious beyond belief for a supposed civilized society. I ask the government of Sri Lanka to stop this evil killing and enforce the laws your country has already on its books.
I. am shocked at Mr Mustapha's cruel and shocking actions this is a barbaric response to stray animals, STERILISE AND VACINATE AND EDUCATE !!!! Burying animals alive ! Despicable actions , not sure if we will visit Sri Lanka again !!!!
This is disgusting and it's murder. Sri Lanka is a Buddhist country. This needs to stop. The government can easily start shelters to house these harmless street dogs. And spaying and neutering should be a law and should also be offered for free.
GOD-willing, very soon the very best and enforceable animal welfare laws and regulations shall become prevalent throughout the world. May GOD-ALMIGHTY save animals from the horrors of human induced abuse, cruelty, torture, and unjustifiable neglect, and habitat destruction.
Please stop killing . Mistreatment and starvation hitting animals in big temples. Where we think.animals are safe. These are the most cruel places for animals . Please look into them

Because even though I'm a foreigner I am proud to call Sri Lanka my home. These acts of legitimized depravity make me feel ashamed for those who perpetrate and those who feel nothing and stand by. This is not Sri Lankan..this is surely not Buddhism.
