Stray Dog Puppy Boom in Hyderabad

Here is an article in The Hindu highlighting a recent spurt in the births of stray dog puppies, which is apparently giving the local residents “goose-bumps”. The usual concerns about the “dog menace” are covered as are the inadequate efforts on the part of the authorities, but sadly the question of why there is such a puppy boom is not addressed.

A puppy boom basically means the stray dogs are well-fed, which means there is a good food source, which means, as usual, they have a waste disposal problem. This is the real underlying issue and yet unfortunately this aspect is not mentioned in article, which does not bode well for the chances of them solving the problem.
