Doggy business at Ren-Yi Tan Reservoir

The interconnected reservoirs of Ren-Yi Tan and Lantan in Chiayi City are the main source of domestic water and irrigation supply. However, the area has a massive stray dog problem that troubles many local people. Some dog lovers regularly come to feed the dogs, but unfortunately, this has created a vicious cycle that has given rise to continually more stray dogs. There are also some members of the public who visit the area in the hope of finding a puppy to take home and rear. Unfortunately, none of these methods will be able to resolve the stray dog problem, and the citizen reporter is calling on local government to quickly develop a more suitable policy to solve this worsening stray dog issue.
