Activists Urge Karnataka to Prioritize Dog Sterilization and Vaccination Over Permanent Confinement
Students for Streeties and animal welfare activists urged Karnataka's Chief Minister to prioritize sterilization, vaccination, and rehabilitation of community dogs over their permanent confinement in pounds. They called for expanding the Animal Birth Control and Anti-Rabies Vaccination programs across all 31 districts, emphasizing that pounds should serve as temporary facilities for treatment and recovery. The group also raised concerns about compliance with Supreme Court and regulatory guidelines, public expenditure transparency, and the need for accurate data on dog populations and bite incidents.
