Drive launched against stray dogs, 200 killed

The drive launched on Friday aims to kill 1,000 stray dogs

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TRAPPED: Stray dogs being caught as part of a culling operation in Chitradurga

on Saturday.

 

 

 

 

 

Chitradurga:

 

Following the directions of the district administration, the civic authorities

started culling stray dogs in the city on Friday. Since then nearly 200 dogs

have been killed.

 

The sources in the district administration said thought the operation is carried

out every year, this year the issue had gained importance in view of instances

in Bangalore where children were killed by a pack of dogs.

 

The civic authorities have hired four experts from Kerala to kill the dogs. An

official said the experts inject the dogs with poison, which results in speedy

death. It takes just 30 seconds to one minute for the dog to die. About a week

ago, the public was informed about the culling operation.

 

Dog owners were asked to collect a special card from the municipal office to

protect their dogs from being killed and were instructed to keep their dogs

indoors during the culling operation.

 

The operation is being carried out in areas where there are a large number of

mutton and chicken shop. The authorities are giving priority to areas from where

complaints have been received about the dog menace. According to a rough

estimate, the city has over 2,000 stray dogs and the administration has decided

to cull at least 1,000 dogs in the next four days. Last year over 600 dogs were

killed.

 

 

Mild resistance

 

 

 

The official said barring mild resistance from some people, most were in favour

of the operation.

 

When asked why the authorities chose to kill the dogs rather than adopt the

Animal Birth Control (ABC) programme, he said they had been ordered to kill

ferocious dogs.

 

However, the ABC programme would be adopted in the coming days, as at present

there were no experts to carry out the programme, he added.
