Here we were hoping the govts would do something about the rising stray dog population, and there in Karnataka, BBMP is launching a ₹2.8 crore scheme to feed stray dogs daily with rice, chicken, and eggs all over Bengaluru.

What could go wrong?

X. Easily available, reliable, abundant, nutritious food increases survival and breeding, worsening overpopulation.

X. More dogs mean a higher risk of bites and rabies.

X. Dogs eating together at the same point strengthens their pack behaviour. They can become more territorial or aggressive, especially around feeding spots, putting pedestrians, children, cyclists, and street vendors at risk.

X. Strays may lose their scavenging instinct. Regular feeding conditions them to gather at fixed spots instead of roaming, making them more visible and a greater nuisance in crowded areas.

I’d have supported this if BBMP had simultaneously announced mapping the fed dogs and running a sterilization and vaccination drive too. Take care of the existing dogs, but also control their breeding. Instead, they’re about to worsen the problem.
