Puducherry sees rapid rise in stray dog population
The Hindu
A comprehensive programme involving licensing of pets and animal birth control can help control their numbers, says a veterinarian
Lack of proper rehabilitation and a systematic approach to carrying out the Animal Birth Control (ABC) Programme have led to a rapid growth in the stray dog population across commercial and residential areas.
Though in several areas, especially residential, the dogs live in harmony with the community, there are several incidents of stray dogs chasing cyclists and two-wheeler riders, leading to accidents and dog bite cases.
“It is a nightmare coming home during the night on a two-wheeler. It is not just one or two dogs chasing the rider. Three days ago, I was chased by a pack of strays near the Saram market. Only when the dogs started chasing a two-wheeler rider coming in the opposite direction could I escape,” said a government employee residing at Reddiyarpalayam.
