The number of stray dogs is usually directly proportional to the level of civilization of a people. You can observe this even across the US. The key is improving the political system and raising the standard of living for the people. The animals will follow. If people in the US get upset over the culling of strays in Russia, it isn't going to be terribly productive IMHO. The Russian people are the ones who let them breed and then set them loose. Not the regime.
