Thursday, students from the Irbid Secondary School for Boys have gone on strike due to the spread of stray dogs in front of their school.

Roya's reporter said that only 15 out of 800 students came to school Thursday morning.

Students wanted to send a message to the relevant authorities that there is a problem and a solution is urgently needed.

The students called on the local authorities to put an end to the spread of stray dogs, saying they are concerned for their safety.

NOTE: This story is not placing the blame on anyone-anything. According to Jordanian law, authorities have a responsibility to provide shelter and safety to stray dogs.
