Objective: To control the population of street dogs and prevent the spread of rabies and other zoonotic diseases.
Methodology: Involves the capture of street dogs, their surgical sterilization, anti-rabies vaccination, and post-operative care, followed by their release in the same locality.
Stakeholders: Implemented by local authorities (Municipal Corporations, Panchayats) often in collaboration with Animal Welfare Organizations (AWOs), veterinarians, and community volunteers.
Legal Basis: Governed by the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960 and the subsequent Animal Birth Control (Dogs) Rules, 2001 (now superseded by ABC Rules, 2023).
Ethical Approach: Explicitly prohibits culling or relocation of street dogs as a primary method of population control, advocating for humane treatment.
Community Involvement: Emphasizes the importance of community participation, education, and responsible pet ownership for the program's success.
Monitoring: Requires proper record-keeping of sterilized and vaccinated dogs, including identification marks.
Funding: Typically funded by local bodies, state governments, and sometimes through central schemes or private donations.
