Bengaluru: Mobile ABC units to curb stray dog menace?

Deccan Chronicle  

Bengaluru: With the stray dog attacks becoming rampant in the city and the BBMP’s ABC programme failing to curb the menace, animal activists opine that well-equipped mobile surgery units could be an answer. Suparna Ganguly of Compassion Unlimited Plus Action told Deccan Chronicle, "As per the Animal Birth Control laws mobile units can be set up to carry out ABC programs across the city." Suparna said that animals picked should be released in the same location, no matter whether the ABC is done by mobile units or at ABC centres. Mobile units will be a success if there is provision for the safe housing of the animals after ABC for post operative care and observation and a stay on site for the doctors and attenders.
