If you are in India you will recognise that there rarely would have been a night when we don't hear thunderous dog gang barks from streets. 

The problem is real because it affects freedom of movement and we often hear about fatal incidents of loss of lives.

Now the question has to be asked - Why don't we talk about it?

Please check few facts below for your perusal:

Stray Dog Population: India has over 60 million stray dogs. The population is rising due to insufficient sterilization and abandonment​ 

Rabies Cases: India accounts for 35% of global rabies deaths, with 96% caused by stray dogs. Children are the most affected

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am a local resident and, like many of my compatriots, I am unable to move freely and commute because there are intimidating stray dog gangs in every area. Their activity escalates especially during the night, creating an overwhelming feeling of insecurity. The government needs to urgently address this major problem.

These stray dogs pose a significant risk to the safety of our city's residents, especially children, who are at a higher risk of dog bites and potential rabies exposure. According to "Times of India", India observed a 50% surge in canine attacks from 2015 to 2020, with the highest concentration in urban areas ("Times of India", March 2020).

The humane and efficient management of the stray dog population is not only crucial for public safety but is also a matter of animal welfare. The World Health Organisation suggests that stray dog populations should be managed through techniques like sterilization, vaccination, public education, and legislation, which have proven to be successful in cities across the globe.

This petition calls for immediate action to implement a comprehensive, humane, and effective stray dog management strategy that balances public safety and animal welfare. Stand with us and urge our city administration to take this issue seriously. Sign the petition now.
