And it wasn't until very recently, when the problem of strays became very serious, that environmental agencies began strengthening their dog catching functions. With domestic dog lovers raising angry cries, conservation groups here are saying that dog-catching as it is now practiced is cruel, and they have invited foreign animal protection groups to teach sanitation personnel "how to catch dogs humanely."
直到近來棄犬問題叢生，環保單位才加強捕捉，隨即惹得國內愛狗人士撻伐之聲四起，保育團體痛聲指責捕狗行徑殘忍，還請來國外保護動物機構指點清潔隊員如何「人道捕犬」。
