Over the years, India’s stray dog population has grown. It is estimated to be between 35–40 million. Visit any city, town, or village and packs of dogs, usually friendly but sometimes feral, are unavoidable. Going for an evening walk often entails running the gauntlet of a pack.

The animals are usually fed by dog lovers but no one is responsible for vaccinating them. Even if they are vaccinated, but not sterilised, a dog can have several puppies in a year, and the whole cycle begins again.

Indian has around 20,000 rabies deaths a year. Worldwide, over 59,000 people die every year from rabies, around 40% of them aged under 15. The World Health Organization’s target of ending human rabies deaths globally by 2030 will not be achieved unless India succeeds (it accounts for 36% of cases).

LET US ALL COME TOGETHER AND SIGN THIS PETITION TO PERSUADE THE GOVERNMENT TO TAKE SOME TANGIBLE MEASURES IN THIS REGARD.
