Care For The Stray Dogs

Sometimes I get really frustrated by LCSH. For instance, today I have a work about a stray dog. The subject heading for stray dogs reads Feral dogs. The dog in question is NOT wild or feral, but merely STRAY. Using Feral dogs would be misleading, so I had to settle for just DOGS. This is not the only instance where something like this has come up in the course of cataloging on a daily basis. Are there any subject headings that you think are particularly misleading? I’d love to hear from you. Thanks for the rant.
For decades the Municipal Corporation of Mumbai used to kill up to 50,000 stray dogs annually. The method used was electrocution. Recentlyh, in response to demands, dog-killing was replaced by mass sterilisation and immunisation of stray dogs.
Under this programme, stray dogs are surgically neutered and then replaced in their own area. They are also vaccinated against rabies.Since territories are not left vacant, new dogs cannot enter.Mating and breeding also cease. With no mating or crossing of territories, dog fights reduce dramatically.Since fighting reduces, bites to humans also become rare.The dogs are immunised, so they do not spread rabies. Over time, as the dogs die natural deaths, their numbers dwindle.
The dog population becomes stable, non-breeding, non-aggressive and rabies-free, and it gradually decreases over a period of time.It costs $15 to feed, sterilise and immunise ONE dog.
When we travel to India we will be making buying food for stray dogs and making a donation of whatever funds we receive so we can help end some of this animal cruelty and become part of the solution! I will be taking photos throughout the journey so you can be sure your money is going straight to the cause.
