MUMBAI: While the density of free-roaming street dogs in Mumbai has lessened in 10 years - between 2014 and 2024 -- the pool of sterilized dogs has also taken a dip. This was revealed in a study conducted by the Humane Society International/India (HSI/India), which works to protect animals, and the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Thursday.

The study underlined that going forward, in order to control street dog population, the BMC will have to sterilize 14,000 dogs per year.

In its 2014 survey of street dogs, the study had found approximately 10.54 dogs per kilometer, in a stray population of 95,172 in BMC areas.
