Episode notes
Escalating Dog-Human Conflict
- Stray-dog conflicts in Delhi have escalated over the past five to six years with rising bite reports and colony clashes.
- Courts and politicians repeatedly intervene because no single government agency has effectively managed the problem.
Fix Sterilize-And-Return Programs
- Implement capture-sterilize-release (CSR) properly: capture dogs, sterilize, and return them to avoid turf wars.
- Scale trained dog-catcher recruitment and stop corruption in contracts to make programs effective.
Strays Are Legally Community Animals
- The Animal Birth Control rules legally treat strays as community animals and require authorities to return sterilized dogs to their areas.
- This legal status complicates any large-scale removal or relocation of street dogs.
