Karnal and Bengaluru Propose Mandatory Pet Dog Registration and Regulations
Karnal Municipal Corporation has mandated registration of all pet dogs within one week, requiring owners to provide vaccination details and maintain control in public spaces. Similarly, Bengaluru's five new corporations are developing a uniform pet dog policy proposing mandatory registration for dogs over three months, annual renewal, and limits on the number of dogs per household based on dwelling size. Both initiatives aim to improve public safety, cleanliness, and responsible pet ownership, though some animal welfare activists in Bengaluru have expressed concerns about potential owner harassment.
