There has been a reduction in the population of strays in large cities because the authorities have started to clamp down on the food put out by do-gooders. In some areas, the stray population had reached pest proportions.

Then sometime later, a woman reported "asians" catching dogs on the streets. Then everyone suddenly noticed that "a lot" of the strays were missing. Next in line is then the furrier reporting that cats and dogs are being harvested on the streets for their fur. (And just imagine that: a fur coat made of mangy, flea-ridden mongrels with no two matching pieces...)
