Friday Bummer: Dog City to Face Mass Executions

The small town of Mosquera's Mayor Luis Alvaro Rincon is taking the admittedly politically incorrect move of calling for the dogs to be killed to clean up the streets.

"His fist pumping and voice rising as applause at the community gathering grew, he said, 'It's an order. Round them up and kill them!'

Rincon's exasperation last summer was in some ways understandable. This suburb of Bogota has long been a dumping ground for canines whose owners are too uninterested or financially strapped to care for them. Now there may be 30,000 stray dogs here and in two adjoining suburbs, Madrid and Vaca.

'I know environmentalists won't like it, but if they don't, they should come to Mosquera and take a dog home with them,' Rincon said."
