Nice efforts. follow it to its logical conclusion. However, before arguing with university authorities and mcd it is to be noted that the animals have as much a right to inhabit the areas they were born in as we do. Needless to say that these street dogs are not the exception of our Indian laws.
As per our Indian laws, street dogs cannot be beaten or driven away. They can merely be sterilized in the manner envisaged in the Animal Birth Control (Dogs) Rules, 2001 (Rules under Indian Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960), vaccinated, and then returned back to their original locations. Keeping in view the above rules and laws, University officials are right that the birth control is the only solution for this problem. However, if the dog bites are becoming the frequent phenomenon, such dogs can’t be allowed to roam freely. Somewhere the university authorities and MCD will have to strike the balance. If an insane or harmful person can’t be set free to walk the roads and streets, how the stray dogs can be allowed to enjoy the free environment while biting people? The animals interests can not be protected at the cost of human lives and human interests!!!
