Animal Rights Activists Urge The Government to Set up Dog Parks in Every City

Animal rights activists in Mangalore have urged the government to set up dog parks in every city. Animal activists have demanded that the government introduce mandatory guidelines to be followed by pet owners.

Animal Care Trust (ACT) trustee and advocate Suma Nayak said that every city needs to have a dog park, where pets can play, socialise and even get pampered. These parks should have facilities like a dog trail, space for running, swimming, digging, trailing and other activities for canines. Also a dedicated space for defecating and a waste bag dispenser to collect pet poop in the bag should also be set up.

Tauseef Ahmed, founder and rescuer at Mr Rescuer, said that there have been several instances in the city, where pet owners do not leash their dogs, and they either chase children or other dogs in public place and also animal droppings could spread infection.
