Animal Activists Seek Protection for Stray Dog Feeders

Animal Activists Seek Protection for Stray Dog Feeders
Bengaluru’s Stray Dog Meal Scheme On Pause After BBMP Dissolution - What's Ahead? · timesnownews.com

Some people in Tamil Nadu are feeding stray dogs, but some neighbors are getting angry about it.

Animal lovers want the police to protect the dog feeders from being harassed.

The police say they already have rules to help.

The issue started because the Supreme Court said dogs shouldn't be fed in public places.

This has led to arguments between people who care for animals and those who don't want dogs nearby.

The problem is that it takes time for the city to make places for the dogs to eat.

This makes it harder for both the dogs and the people trying to help them.
