The last days I was thinking hard about this string, I tried to extract the essence of all these different points and putt them together in a context, I must admit it took me some sleepless nights, but finally at 3:30am Saturday night on that party I guess I found a solution!
First of all, streets are made for vehicles not for dogs, so get the dogs from the streets they hinder the traffic!
1 mio dogs are a lot, adopting, de-sexing, nursing and feeding them will not work, try to imagine only the 1mio cans of dog food day by day will cause a waste problem for Bali, so I favourite the Spanish solution, but at the other hand, who should do this and why?
When so many dogs are on the streets, almost nobody is able to drive anymore (ok, trucks and pick-up can overrun them, but it’s leaving a mess and also looks not so nice to the tourists), so less traffic means less use of fuel, ergo less profit for gas stations and petrol industry!
Let’s say the petrol companies would collect the street dogs (deliver a street dog and get 10 litre fuel for free), a brand new source of income for local drivers, no dogs/ cadavers on the streets anymore will increase the sale of fuel!
But what to do with all the collected dogs? Hey we are talking here about probably 15,000,000 kg meat!!!
Meat is not my business, but I know some experts here in Germany which even made good money out of rotten cadavers, so maybe export or Sate ala Sulawesi would be an option?
The capital could come from the petrol industry, the profit out of the meat business will be invested into exploring some new sources somewhere in the jungles of Indonesia, or maybe export the meat to North Korea and get a nice nuclear power plant in reverse? I see many options here and also new jobs!
Dolphins in hotel pools are disgusting, this should be forbidden, wouldn’t like to swim in Dolphin’s poo!
The concept of the hotel zoo is completely wrong in my point of view, it’s not using the potential attraction of the animals enough, although I agree that sending wild animals back into the jungle in insanity (a threat for the workers of all these mining, petrol, timber companies there) since the jungle will be burned down in any way, so these wild animals should better get used to progress!
The problem in Bali is a completely lack of creativity when it comes to business, everybody is doing the same, no analysis of the market, no new ideas, the fisherman are waiting for tourists, their wives are waiting for tourists, the woodcarvers are waiting for tourists and so on – in the meantime the Dolphins are eating the last fish in the sea.
The Aussie binge tourists will seldom find the way up to Lovina, they are hanging out in Kuta and the North is empty, but hey there are masses of drivers now waiting after solving the street dog problem, so there is a need to attract people to visit the North!
Japanese love Dolphins, so why not attracting them, they have money and they spend it!
A McDolphin’s drive in, Dolphin burgers, sandwiches, Dolphin Sushi, hey the Orang Utan could serve the plastic bags into the car, maybe in a nice uniform, or could at least wash the windows of the cars while waiting.
The fisherman had finally work and while they are out hunting Dolphins, their wives could create a small market on the other side of the street, selling lentil, tofu, Couscous, candles and “Free Flipper” buttons to all the animal rights activists, protesting in the night watch across the street.
The drivers could transport the Dolphin hunters and also the Dolphin lovers (don’t mix them), maybe a Birkenstock outlet would be built, even a monthly event is thinkable – maybe slaughter your Dolphin by yourself or paint ball hunting on the Moon bear.
Ah, I almost forgot to solve the problem of the family with the cow, since the swimming pool is empty now put the cow beside it, no need to walk for water anymore, the girl is happily jumping in her new Birkenstock sandals on her way to school, wearing a McDolphin’s cap and smiling for the Hara Krishna fraction those are just chewing on Sate anjing.
Best regards :wink:
