- Humane Dog Population Management Guidance, by the International Companion Animal Management Coalition
The International Companion Animal Management (ICAM) Coalition has recently published guidelines on how to manage dog populations in the most humane, effective and resource-efficient way possible. This is a new document intended for use by any government body or non-governmental organisation (NGO) involved in the management of dog populations. Although there is no "quick fix" solution to the problems caused by roaming dogs, this guidance outlines all the factors that should be considered and how a comprehensive and sustainable intervention can be designed.
The ICAM Coalition believes that the management of roaming dogs is the responsibility of the government; however, NGOs may be contracted to design or manage components of interventions or may be asked for their advice. This guidance will support all parties involved in dog population management to target support where it can be most effective and to make best use of limited resources.
Humane Dog Population Management Guidance is available for download here or from www.icam-coalition.org, where information about the ICAM Coalition can also be found.
