Deer death: Mysore City Corporation will sterilize stray dogs
MYSORE: A day after a deer was mauled to death by a pack of dogs at the foot of Chamundi Hills, MCC authorities on Monday caught five dogs from the spot and sent them for sterilization.
They have also directed the proprietor of a high-end resort, where the
dogs attacked and killed a deer and a stag, to properly cover the resort
boundary to prevent the dogs from entering inside.
MCC health officer Dr D G Nagaraj said that they will continue the drive to catch stray dogs for some more days. It is said that dogs gather at the spot before daybreak to feed on waste. They could find only five dogs on Monday. As per Supreme Court directive, they will sterilize the dogs and leave them at the same place. The dogs have been handed over to an organization for the purpose.
Nagaraj said they inspected the area on Monday and found that people conduct poojas at the foot of Chamundi Hills on special occasions and cook non-veg food after the ritual. And the dogs feed on the leftovers strewn around. MCC has decided to put up a board, cautioning worshippers not to throw waste.
"They have also issued a notice to the resort management to construct compound wall properly," the health officer said. He, however, said that the waste generated from the resort is being properly disposed.Meanwhile, DCF B S Gaonkar told TOI that investigation to track animals' path is on and their staff inspected the spot on Monday too.
