The Indian Animal Council (AWBI) granted the fundamental approval of the Animal Contraception Center (ABC) established by the Thripunithura municipality in Kerala, which faced a growing stray threat of dogs.
The AWBI reportedly reported the state offices of the state animal breeding that the municipality can operate its Center ABC and that the formal written consent will soon follow. Letters about the appointment will soon be issued to a veterinary surgeon, an operational theater assistant, a handler for dogs and a cleaning laborer.

The center with 16 breeding stations has the ability to perform surgery on four to five stray dogs a day. Its excess capacity after participating in stray dogs will also be available for domestic dogs.
“The ABC Center, located opposite the Hill Palace police station, was solemnly in March, after which the formalities of the AWBI approval were opened. The team from the animal breeding department visited the center and submitted a favorable report that was subsequently handed over to AWBI.”
The center was established at the price of more than 20 lakh and will benefit from annual allocations as an ongoing project. The allocation of 8.50 lamps was earmarked mainly for the salaries of employees and awarding orders of drugs and equipment.
The inhabitants of the city repeatedly expressed concern about stray dogs who wandered the streets. 11th September was declared a holiday for the Thripunithura Govern High School after a carcass of a stray dog was discovered on the academic soil. Officials from the animal breeding department and the municipality of Thripunithura then inspected the place.
After the reports indicated that the carcase was a suspicious angry dog, the remaining dogs were captured and moved to the observation center. It was found that dogs proliferated in an overgrown environment of an abandoned building on the campus.
VP Prasad, chairman of the Thripunithura Rajanagari Union of Residents Association (TRURA), said that wandering dogs continue to pose a threat throughout the city.
“Morning pedestrians have now become accustomed to stray dogs on the bridge over Andhakar Thoda along the Market Road,” he said.
