However this only works if people actually get their pets spayed or neutered. In Sochi, Russia, during the last Olympic Games, stray dogs were found throughout the city. The dog population was out of control. They also had adoption stations in town so tourists could adopt pets and take them home to be their own pets. A local pest control company is contracted to collect and kill Sochi's strays, partly to avoid any embarrassing appearances by the dogs during the competition. The International Olympic Committee is trying to paint a less gruesome picture of the dogs' fate ("Opaging Viewpoints in Context - Document"). Picking up dogs and euthanizing them happens all over the world, I congratulate those who have adopted dogs from their wickedness
