Udupi Bans Random Stray Dog Feeding, Enforces Designated Spots
The Udupi City government is changing how stray dogs are fed.
They're making people feed dogs only in specific spots, not wherever they want.
This is because the Supreme Court said they should, and people have been complaining.
The city will also work with animal groups to control the number of stray dogs.
They're also thinking about making people register their pets if they own more than two dogs.
The goal is to keep the community safe while also being kind to the dogs.
Udupi City Municipal Council banned feeding stray dogs in random locations.
Designated feeding spots will be established.
The decision follows Supreme Court directives and public complaints.
An Animal Birth Control (ABC) program will be implemented with local NGOs.
Officials are considering mandatory pet registration.
