The Animal Husbandry Department has joined forces with NGOs to feed stray animals; conservationists say this could increase their population and potentially spread diseases to the wild animal population
Conservationists have spoken out against the potentially disastrous consequences of feeding feral dogs and cats in ecologically-sensitive regions and helping to bolster their already booming population, arguing that feral animals prey on many species of native wildlife and also spread fatal diseases. The criticism has come from conservationists after the Department of Animal Husbandry joined forces with various NGOs to feed stray and abandoned horses, dogs and cats during the lockdown.More Related News
