Pamela Anderson tells Indian authorities that dogs can't use condoms

Stray dogs in India's financial capital, Mumbai (Bombay) should be sterilised not killed, says former Baywatch star Pamela Anderson.

Animal lover Ms Anderson intervened on the dogs' behalf in a letter to the city authorities.

"Dogs cannot use condoms, but with the municipality's help, they can be 'fixed' - painlessly, quickly and permanently," her letter states.

There were mixed views about Ms Anderson's intervention among people in Mumbai.

Sales manager Shubhada Surve said: "Ethically it may not be right to kill dogs but who is Pamela Anderson to get involved in Mumbai's issues?

"There's no doubt that the stray dog problem is a major one and I don't think Pamela can really understand the gravity."
