Caption:
Created by University of Minnesota veterinary student Amanda Emery, in September 2014, this photograph showed how Haiti was still recovering from the 2010 earthquake, which killed more than 200,000 people. While many efforts are in play to improve infrastructure, refuse and other communal food sources are routinely discarded on the streets. This food source allows many dogs to survive, and proliferate, thereby, contributing to overpopulation, and disease transmission. These dogs receive no veterinary care, and are typically not vaccinated for rabies, helping to enhance the spread of that disease as well.
