Stray dogs back on Noida streets after sterilisation due to lack of shelter

Sick, injured, and malnourished stray dogs are being returned to the streets after sterilization procedures due to a lack of shelters, raising concerns among activists. The Noida administration has taken notice of the issue and issued notices to the relevant department in response to the complaints.

Animal rights activist and founder of the SMART animal sanctuary, Kaveri Rana Bhardwaj, brought attention to the plight of injured or sick stray dogs that are selected for sterilization but are subsequently released back onto the streets without receiving proper medical treatment.

“Any stray dog who is injured or sick is vulnerable to diseases. If the authorities pick one such dog for sterilisation, it’s their responsibility to take care of such a dog till it recovers from the surgery. Such dogs are being sent back to the streets right after the sterilisation surgery, which can lead to their untimely death if they are already suffering from health issues,” Kaveri told the media, raising her concerns over the issue.

“We have been repeatedly requesting the authorities to make strict rules for the protection of dogs post sterilisation. The dogs are being sterilised so that they can live peacefully in the locality. One cannot leave the dog with stitches on the roads. Stitches need to be taken care of in sick and injured dogs especially,” she further said.

Reacting to the complaints of dogs being sent back to the streets after sterilisation, the Noida administration said, “A notice has been issued in this regard to the concerned agency.”
