Experts call Animal Birth Control Rules as only permissible measure to manage population, not SC-mandated shelters
A forum of animal activists and experts working in the field of animal welfare on Friday conducted a media briefing at Delhi's Press Club on India's Animal Birth Control (ABC) Rules and how it is the only legal method to control the stray dog population and the spread of rabies in the country.
This comes amid uproar across the country after the Supreme Court directed the removal of stray dogs from public spaces. Experts pointed out that the ABC Rules are not implemented in major areas across India.
According to Dr Rajni Safaya, former professor at AIIMS (Delhi) and animal activist, "Dogs must remain where they are if the intent is to control the transmission of rabies."
