Stray Dogs Wreak Havoc in Katapady, Killing Five Goats — Residents Demand Immediate Action
By ETF Desk
In the rural outskirts of Katapady, a distressing incident unfolded as stray dogs attacked and killed five goats yesterday, prompting local farmers and residents to demand swift action from authorities.
The livestock, belonging to a local farmer, were discovered in a collapsed state, with wounds indicative of aggressive predation. Authorities have not yet confirmed the precise number of dogs involved, but eyewitnesses report a pack that roamed undeterred through the village’s fields.
Farmers fear that the incident could mark the beginning of a larger problem, as stray dogs have previously been noted causing nuisance and posing health risks in the area. Residents have petitioned the gram panchayat and local panchayat officers, urging for containment measures such as fencing, leash regulation, and a coordinated dog-leadhunting initiative.
