The RSPCA has given the Government until 1996 to introduce compulsory dog registration, a system which already works well in controlling the problem of strays in other countries. The staff at the Birmingham branch of the RSPCA reveal the growing crisis in Britain. They found new homes for 1,800 strays last year, but with as many as 50 new arrivals every day, they also had the distressing task of destroying 2,800 more.
