Abstract
The population count of stray dog, household dog and cat is an important part of animal management. In stray dog ,photograph recaptured method is used and witch is recommended by “guideline for dog population management”（WHO publication） ,it is modified by estimate from rate of capture . First, select and mark area(s) from maps. At each selected area, capture stray dogs by photograph over 5 days. The number of new stray dogs counted each day is plotted vertically and the number of strays dogs counted previously plotted horizontally (thus day 1 starts at 0). A line connecting these points can be extended to the point at witch no more stray dogs could be captured (zero on the vertical scale). In household dog and cat, we collected data by means of telephone questionnaires. The minimum sample is 1200 households. Households were selected by use of a computer program that generated a random sample of telephone numbers assigned to each administrative unit in Taipei city. Dog population survey in Taipei city had started since 1999. By this year, 2003, there were 246,792 household dogs counted, that is an increase of 26,586 in comparison with last year (220,206). And the household cat counted as 59,580 cats, that is an increase of 1158 cats in comparison with last year (58,422). In stray dog, this survey counted 6,998 stray dogs in Taipei city. As for tolerance of civilians toward stray dogs and cats problems, 32.5% of civilians feels disturbed by stray dogs and 28.2% of civilians feels disturbed by stray cats.
