Sharing a list of animal cruelty incidents, the activists said in Kerala, more than 1,000 dogs, including pets, have been poisoned, beaten to death with iron rods and sticks, hung by the neck, burned and buried alive. The protesters demanded immediate nationwide implementation of the Animal Birth Control Rules, 2001 to sterilise and immunise street dogs, and encourage public participation in the campaign.
