Source data: Husbandry Department of East Nusa Tenggara Province. These data were registered by each Regency Husbandry Department in Flores Island as part of vaccination campaign. In case the dog owners and their dogs were not present at time of registration, the dogs were not accounted for. For example in Sikka regency, the dogs of approximately 30% of the dog owners were not registered for this reason in 2012 (Personal communication, Dr. Sikko). As a result the registered number underestimates the actual size of the dog population.
