Bodies of dead dogs are seen littered around the city as municipal workers gathered them for disposal. Officials estimated the operation had culled thousands of strays but did not have a full accounting for all six city districts.
"At least 700 dogs have been killed only in two areas of Karachi's south in the couple of days," said Sattar Javed, a spokesman for the municipal authority.
The periodic culling of stray dogs using poison tablets hidden in chicken has drawn criticism from animal rights activists but a city official, Mohammad Zahid, said it was necessary because packs of strays posed a threat to residents.
