The Sofia City Hall is working on a new program, aiming at reducing the stray dog population in the Bulgarian capital.
The Deputy Mayor for Environment, Maria Boyadzhiyska, said Monday the main priorities of the program are adoption and neutering.
The information comes on the heels of last week reports about a Court rule sentencing the City Hall to pay damages to a woman, who has been bitten by a stray dog.
According to City Hall data, there are 9 500 such dogs, roaming Sofia's streets.
The program is to start at the Roma quarters where the problem is the gravest.
The City Hall is further preparing a new order providing for active checks of registration and neutering of pet dogs.
