Russia dog cull image was actually shot in Karachi

Due to the increase in the stray dog attacks and hike in the people being admitted in the hospitals.

A picture that dispersed all over social media of an alleged dog cull in Russia, actually depicts a drive which was carried out in Karachi in 2016 RT reported.

There were fears there that Russia would repeat history by exterminating dogs in time before thousands throng in the Country for the World Cup.



But to our surprise Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Mutko said that the animals would be captured and placed in shelters.

However, all of this drew attention when a twitterati posted a picture that intended to show number of dogs lying dead in a street in Russia. A picture that does show a fraction of dogs but was actually taken in Pakistan.

It became a necessity for Pakistan to conduct the dog cull in various cities in 2016 in attempts to secure the masses that live on the streets or walk by. Due to the increase in the stray dog attacks, many have to be admitted in the hospitals.
