They are currently developing scientific formulas to achieve a "super birth control pill" for animals, that can put an end to the sufferings of stray dogs.

2. Stray Dog on a Film Set

Recently in Romania, Mickey Rourke adopted a stray dog, 'Foxy' which was found on his film set. A bill allowing the slaughter of stray dogs has been passed in Romania and because of this, Rourke decided to take action. He later said “The ones that are here, that aren’t here anymore, because sometimes when a man’s alone, that’s all you got is your dog. And they meant the world to me.”
