  "summary": "Karachi Mayor Barrister Murtaza Wahab has urged for stronger action against stray dog attacks in the city, criticizing neutering alone as insufficient to address the issue. The mayor reported receiving complaints of dog bites affecting men, women, and the elderly, and stressed the need for a comprehensive strategy rather than delegating responsibility to other entities. Wahab referenced Turkey's decision to cull stray dogs, stating that the Karachi administration would face backlash if it adopted a similar approach, emphasizing that public safety should be the top priority over political debate. He appealed to the media to aid in building consensus on practical measures to protect citizens from dog attacks and the risk of rabies.",
