T.N. govt. to discuss methods to control stray dog population
The HinduThe Tamil Nadu government will hold meetings with officials of the Municipal Administration and Water Supply and Animal Husbandry Departments over the stray dog problem in the State and come up with methods besides animal birth control to check their rising population. GCC Ward 152 councillor S. Bharathi said it had been nearly two years since the last anti-rabies vaccination drive for stray dogs was conducted. “Instead of discharging the animals back to the areas after animal birth control, they must be impounded,” he said. Both GCC and Tambaram Corporation authorities, however, said permanent sheltering of stray dogs could not be taken up due to certain provisions under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act and the Animal Birth Control Rules 2023.
