Designated dog-feeding spots fail to serve purpose in many areas in Bengaluru
Designated dog-feeding spots in Bengaluru are failing to serve their intended purpose, according to animal welfare volunteers. Many of the 455 identified locations are impractical and disconnected from where street dogs actually live. The effectiveness of these spots is compromised by their inaccessibility and the territorial behavior of dogs, leading to concerns about their safety and utility.
