Here is a document on street dogs in India issued for public interest.   We would also encourage our readers to watch this video on stray dogs to get a good understanding about the stray dog situation in India. Ignorance and fear have led many Indians and government officials to see street dogs as a nuisance and to seek eradication using inhumane methods such as poisoning, capturing them and beating/killing them. But for every dog killed, another typically comes in to take over that dog’s territory. The only scientific method to humanely reduce street dog populations is mass spay and neuters, commonly known as animal birth control (ABC).  The Blue Cross of India has an ABC-AR programme, a Dr Dog programme and Ambulance Services to help serve the stray dogs of India.
