These animals are generally shot dead or fed poisoned meat on the orders of the authorities.

That looks horrible.
But I'm sure authorities took this action after cogitating over other ways to solve this issue, vaccination would have been expensive and too late.

@WAJsal Brother here in Pakistan human beings are treated very badly by govt so how we can expect that govt will treat animals in a good way

Indeed!

I have always fed stray dogs and cats, so it hurts to see such pics.

Very cruel. I am sure there are more humane ways to put dogs to sleep. Also beware of the dog meat products. At least for coming few weeks.

Stray animals are not only a health risk and dangerous to humans but also a strain on any economy. Whilst the actions taken by the authorities may sound inhumane, the culling of these animals are actually in the best interests of everybody including the animals themselves. They are most probably worm and flea infested starved animals which could turn on kids and babies as a source of food to survive. The manner of culling may be offensive to people but it all depends on the means and the affordability of the authorities to cull these animals. In first world countries lethal dart injections may be used. In Karachi, the authorities obviously couldn't afford to spend funds on such an expensive manner of culling and decided to use the most cost effective manner
