15. 10 PROBLEMS CAUSED OF STRAY
DOGS
1 - A dog that is out on its own can cause a collision when it runs in the road,
which might even result in injury to other people and also to itself.
2 - Stray dogs tend to defile and sully due to the fact that no one is available
to look after it.
3 - Such dogs might develop the liking to hunt and might ramble into a
garden of other people and might even cause harm to home pets such as
guinea pigs and rabbits.
4 - Stray dogs are fond of opening garbage bin bags and so they can cause
garbage and refuse to be scattered all over the property or street.
5 - Strays often live under buildings, decks, sheds, and spread fleas there. Or
worse, they a stray dog might discover something to consume, which might
cause illness to it, and it'll die under a structure, and cause a horrible rotting
odor.

16. 6 - All the dogs are not gracious towards human beings
and so there are chances that someone might get bitten
if the stray dog is not controlled.
7 - Stray dogs often prefer to roam in packs and so it
might cause a threatening feel and also result in
superfluous and redundant puppies.
8 - They tend to bark and howl, especially when they are
involved in a fight with another dog which regularly and
perpetually happens during mating.
9 - They might spread Rabies, a deadly disease that can
be easily communicated and passed on to human
beings.
10 - These dogs might bite other dogs when they try to
mate and also when they fight amongst themselves.
