Vallée-des-Prêtes: 25 stray dogs attack two students

The problem of stray dogs has become a real headache. Two students were victims of a savage attack by these beasts ... Traumatized, they are under psychological assistance.

While the episode Shea and Ramses is still present in the minds of Mauritians, two more children, this time in the region of Vallée-des- Prêtes are in turn victims of an attack by a pack of wild dogs. Terrified, these two children are still afraid to leave their homes.

The stray dog ​​problem is a real headache for the authorities, more precisely to the Mauritius Society for the Prevention Against Cruelty to Animals (MSPCA). But faced with inadequate resources, this organization can not act effectively. Moreover, the MSPCA has only two vehicles to cover the entire island. While the population of stray dogs continues to increase. At such a rate that the MSPCA has identified about 200,000 stray dogs in Mauritius.

Faced with such numbers, the ability to pick a vehicle from the MSPCA is ridiculous: only 30 to 40 animals can be loaded into a van. "We made a request to the Ministry of Agro-Industry that special efforts be made to give us an allowance," said Farook Koodoruth, secretary of the MSPCA. Meanwhile, several incidents have been recorded at Vallée-des-Prêtes.

In late February, the two son of NJ get home from school. Both kids are on board a school bus that takes them to a bus shelter where their mother is waiting. But that day, a pack of dogs regrouped in the shelter. They were twenty-five in total. While the two kids were waiting, a dog jumps out. Panicked, the two boys started to cry.

The pack unleashed on them. One child had scratches on the body. " Mo fine gagne choc kan mone guette l’état mo zenfants. Mo fine alle demande banne dimoune dans quartier pou coné si sa banne lichien là pou zotte. C’est lerla ki mo fine coné ki c’est banne chiens errants. Et plusieurs motocyclistes fine blessés lors la route. Mo fine informe la MSPCA et mo fine faire ene police case "says NJ bitterly.

She says these dogs have no owner and roam the streets of Vallée-des-Prêtes. According to the mother, since this incident, her children are afraid to leave their homes. They are traumatized by a mere sight of dogs. " Mo pas coné ki bisin faire. Lerla mo fine téléphone un peu partout cotte mo fine tombe lors Child Development Unit. Zotte dire moi ki bisin faire ene suivi psychologique avec les deux enfants  "says the mother.
