Unfortunately, the world is not a very peaceful or safe place for many individuals. From conflict to abuse to exploitation, there is so much cruelty inflicted on both humans and animals. While this can get disheartening and difficult to hear about, petitions are a great way to use your voice for good. Just by signing one, you are a part of helping those who are not treated fairly. You can even share them with your friends and acquaintances to increase your impact.

In March of 2021, the Pakistani government began a campaign for the mass culling of stray dogs in Sindh. The decision followed an increase in dog bite cases in the province. In Karachi, a city in Sindh, at least, 1,350 dogs have been killed, 400 of which were killed during just one day. In total, the Pakistani government is planning to kill a total of 25,000 stray dogs by the end of May.
The government does not have any regulations on what methods can be used to kill these dogs. Thus, many suffer painful deaths, often having their legs tied and then being shot or poisoned. Sometimes citizens join in and hang or poison the dogs as well. Sadly, this dog cull isn’t new. Tens of thousands of stray dogs are culled in Pakistan every year.
