Stray Dogs Kill Five Goats in Katapady, Residents Urge Swift Action

On Saturday, a group of stray dogs descended upon a herd of five goats near the outskirts of Katapady, killing the small livestock within minutes.

Katapady, a rural village in Udupi district, has seen a rising number of stray dogs in recent months, a problem that has been exacerbated by limited animal control services and growing stray populations.

The incident has left farmers grieving and has prompted a rally of residents calling for swift police action and a community-based stray dog culling program. The villagers are demanding that local authorities act immediately to prevent further attacks. Source: Google News – Udupi.
