Dakar (Senegal), 17 Feb, EFE.- In Dakar, the capital of Senegal, many neighbourhoods have an overpopulation of cats, they are often seen wandering in the cities or protecting houses in the villages, but usually dirty, with wounds and flies. Street dogs can be stoned by children or adults, or have one or two legs amputated for taking a piece of meat they shouldn't have. This is not only a Senegalese reality, but it exists throughout the African continent, although it varies from country to country. (Camera: MARÍA RODRÍGUEZ Editor: AYEESHA HOLDER)

SOUNDBITES BY KOSSI, TOGOLESE RESIDENT OF DAKAR, AND MEDOUNE KASSÉ, SENEGALESE VETERINARIAN TRANSLATIONS - KOSSI, TOGOLESE RESIDENT OF DAKAR:- "People don't like them, most don't like them.

One morning I went there and I didn't see them, so I asked and they told me that the government had carried out a poisoning campaign." MEDOUNE KASSÉ, SENEGALESE VETERINARIAN:- "Culturally we love animals here but this closeness that you Caucasians have, the West in general, we don't have that kind of inclination. You love your dog, but not in the same way. It's cultural, for example, here we won't sleep with a dog."- "There is still a lot of awareness work to be done. It would be necessary for people to get even closer and consider animals not as simple animals that can be replaced, but as an entity with a personality."- "The religious aspect is mainly in relation to dogs. - "The other religious aspect is more about dogs. There is a religious belief, I don't know if it is verified or not honestly, that says if you are touched by a dog you have to do your ablutions seven times."
