Karnataka to launch stray dog sterilisation drive
The Karnataka government is planning a big campaign to catch, sterilize, and vaccinate stray dogs.
They are bringing in special teams from Assam to help because there aren't enough trained dog catchers in Karnataka.
The dogs will be treated carefully and then released back to where they were found.
This is to make sure there are fewer stray dogs and less rabies.
Some people care more about the dogs' well-being, while others want to focus on public safety.
