Tackling the human-dog conflict 8 Jun 2023

Context:

Over the past few decades, the growing population of street dogs has posed increasing challenges for municipalities and cities across the country. 

Animal birth control (ABC) initiatives:

  • Positives: It is crucial for managing street dog populations. 
    • ABC programs have been successfully implemented in certain cities, resulting in a decrease in the number of street dogs. 
  • Negatives: Some stakeholders dismiss ABC initiatives as a failure, overlooking the progressive trajectory of policies. 
    • Critics fail to recognize the positive impact of ABC programs on controlling street dog populations and improving public safety. 

Alternatives to ABC:

  • Culling: Cruel and ineffective, as dog populations tend to bounce back.
  • Confinement in pounds or shelters: Economically unviable and unsustainable, does not address root causes.

Associated Committee:

  • Animal Birth Control Monitoring Committees play a vital role in implementing ABC programs at various levels. 
  • These committees oversee the capture, housing, surgery, and release of dogs, ensuring the proper execution of ABC initiatives. 

Way Forward:

  • A scientific approach, coupled with social marketing and behavior change, is necessary to address street dog issues. 
  • Alongside ABC programs, education campaigns on responsible pet ownership and waste management are essential for long-term solutions.
