Students Rally for Humane Dog Management: Karnataka Urged to Invest in ABC Over Shelters

Students for Streeties, a student-led organization, urged the Karnataka government to enhance scientific dog population management via ABC and ARV programs, instead of spending on shelters. They emphasized the importance of community care combined with effective ABC and ARV efforts as humane solutions to rabies and dog bites.

On Saturday, Students for Streeties called on the Karnataka government to boost scientific dog population management through ABC and ARV programs, rather than investing in dog shelters.

The appeal, made during a press conference attended by animal welfare and student organizations, highlighted the effectiveness of such programs in cities like Bengaluru.

With actor Pooja Gandhi supporting the campaign, the focus remains on humane and cost-effective solutions to rabies and dog bites through community involvement and robust implementation of ABC rules.
