Rate Stray Animal Management by your Municipality
Below are some of the to dos that were developed a few months back with your inputs and reflect the best case scenario.
Effective Handling of Stray Animals
1.The local municipalities should take steps to remove all stray canines and cattle from the roads
2.Sterilisation campaigns should be done so that their population does not increase
3.A fine should be imposed on people who leave their cattle on the roads
4.Animal shelters should be built in different areas and Swachh Bharat funds should be allowed to be used for the same
5.Municipalities should tie up with NGOs to train these stray animals
6.NGO’s should be involved in working towards adoption of the stays
7.A municipal helpline should be started to report dangerous stray animals
8. A special team should also be established to act quickly on these complaints
9.Stray cows should be picked up by the municipal team and the owner should be charged heavily for their release
10.People have a misplaced sense of charitable attitude towards animals – this should be changed with awareness drives
11.Owners of cattle especially cows, horses must register ownership and the animals should have the registration locket, failing which the animals on the roads may be impounded
12.Relevant Government or NGO agencies should take the cows to villages and auction them off to recover costs or make profit
13.Stray animals should be caught and rehabilitated in separate enclosures in the outskirts off the towns and cities. more
