Goa to Shift Stray Dogs from Public Places to Shelters Following Supreme Court Order
Goa's government plans to remove stray dogs from public places such as educational institutions, hospitals, and transport hubs, relocating them to shelters after sterilisation and vaccination. This follows a Supreme Court order directing local bodies to implement the Animal Birth Control (ABC) programme. The 2019 livestock census recorded 27,864 stray dogs in Goa, while updated data from the 21st Livestock Census remains unpublished. The Animal Husbandry Department facilitates the Goa Small Animal Rescue programme, with local authorities responsible for ABC implementation.
