NEWS!! NEW STERILIZATION TECHNIQUE INTRODUCED!
The Foundation has always believed that the ultimate solution to Bali's dog problem is an effective sterilization program on female dogs. Unfortunately, we were not able to implement an effective program because the full uterine removal operation is complex and takes a long recovery period. Given that the Foundation does not have any holding facilities, such a program was impossible.
The Foundation is now performing sterilizations as part of its normal street program and for the first time we all feel that we are able to make a long term difference.

(15
February 2000) Dr. David Griffiths, a consulting
vet for the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA), visited
Bali with Claire Palmer, project director. During the ten days that
they were here, Dr. Griffiths trained nine veterinarians in a minimum
evasion surgical sterilization technique using a "spay hook". He also demonstrated the
technique for approximately eight students from the veterinary school at the local
university. Over 35 dogs were spayed during his visit.
