Internet Divided Over Cause and Solution

The viral video has triggered a heated debate online. Many users blamed local civic authorities, saying stray dog numbers have increased because proper animal birth control and population management measures are not being carried out.

As usual, Municipal corporation is just sleeping on their job and pocketing funds allocated to neutering dogs.

Govt allocates funds and these MF corp. officials submit report saying funds used and stray dog population controlled but the reality cannot be starkly different.

Many said that injuries from dog bites may not always be immediately visible and can still require urgent medical care.
