The stray dog population in India is in millions. While some are sent to shelters and later get adopted there are still many dogs that are left on the street due to overcrowding in shelters or simply a new pack of dog takes over the same area. The dogs left behind are mostly mistreated by us humans. We hear many incidents where people mistreat stray dogs, and during the lockdown the cases have increased significantly. Sadly, dread and obliviousness have driven numerous Indian residents and authorities to see street dogs as only an annoyance and to look for eradication utilizing unfeeling strategies like harming and beating.

While there are laws against animal abuse,mostly people don’t face the consequences they deserve. For the safety of dogs, they are sent to shelters, which are mostly overcrowded. Though shelters try their best to provide as much as much food, due to overcrowding there’s often food shortage. In fact cases of restaurants selling dog meats are sadly very common, dogs who are left behind are often victims of such cruelty.

There is an urgent need to control the population of these dogs, to avoid overpopulation and also to save them from such inhumane treatment. The lone logical strategy to humanely lessen street dog populaces is mass fix and fixes, generally known as animal birth control (ABC). Through ABC programs, all the street dogs inside a local area or district are sterlizied and afterward delivered back to their areas. Implementation of sterilisation is the best way to control the population, it’s also the most safest and humane way.

Our motive through this petition is to control the population of dogs. On the off chance, everybody should not simply just view dogs as an individual creature but most importantly someone who we share our planet with.
