Erode and Thoothukudi Corporations Expand Stray Dog Sterilisation and Vaccination Programmes
Erode and Thoothukudi Corporations have intensified their Animal Birth Control (ABC) programmes to manage stray dog populations. Since 2024, Erode sterilised over 15,100 dogs, while Thoothukudi sterilised 408 and vaccinated 3,163 in eight months. Both cities collaborate with NGOs for sterilisation and vaccination efforts, with dogs observed post-procedure before release. Despite these measures, residents report ongoing issues with stray dogs, including bites and safety concerns, prompting calls for expanded coverage and sustained efforts.
