More than a million stray dogs roaming Baghdad are facing destruction.

The initiative has so far led to 42,000 strays being killed in only two months.

Teams of riflemen and vets are trying to thin out a rogue canine population that has reached at least 1,250,000.

I realize that stray dogs are a problem but this seems a little harsh.

2. Obviously things are looking up for those Iraqis we liberated...

"...a rogue canine population that has reached at least 1,250,000."

Sounds like Road Warrior.

3. This is very sad.

Even as a dog lover, it seems to be the only practical solution, though. All dogs go to heaven.
