The lack of reaction from local authorities to this situation, which threatens public health, worries Tangiers who no longer feel safe, as stray dogs can transmit diseases such as rabies to them through bites or scratches.
Numerous complaints from residents to local authorities have changed nothing. They are content to sporadically carry out campaigns to cull these dogs, failing to take concrete measures to eradicate this phenomenon.
