Updated by Simi K I am writing to bring to your attention a distressing incident that occurred in our neighborhood involving a street dog that has raised serious concerns for the safety of our community.
On [5th Feb], a street dog, presumably without an owner, viciously attacked a child in our locality. The child was bitten and sustained injuries that required immediate medical attention. This incident has not only left the child traumatized but has also instilled fear among the residents, especially parents who are now worried about the safety of their children while playing outdoors.
We understand that street dogs are a common issue, but this incident highlights the urgent need for effective measures to address the stray dog population in our area. The lack of control over these animals poses a significant threat to the well-being of our residents, especially the children who are vulnerable to such attacks.
We kindly request the municipal authorities to take swift and decisive action to address this issue. This may include increased patrolling, capturing and relocating stray dogs, or implementing sterilization programs to control the population. Additionally, we urge you to collaborate with animal welfare organizations to find humane and sustainable solutions.
