Stray dog lovers in Mysuru city can now feed dogs in their vicinity at dedicated stray dogs feeding zones established by Mysuru City Corporation officials at selected locations in the city. In the coming days, officials assure to initiate steps to improve the feeding zones, such as maintenance of cleanliness and placing bowls. The initiative began a month and a half back when an animal lover who regularly feeds stray dogs in Jayanagar behind Tree Park identified a spot for feeding stray dogs. An environmental engineer attached to the City Corporation explained that a couple of places in the city limits were identified and signboards were placed for animal lovers to feed stray dogs. The environment officer stated that more stray dogs feeding zones would be identified and established, with facilities such as clean surroundings and providing bowls. The officer also stated that the goal is to set up at least one stray dog feeding zone in every ward under Corporation limits. An official from the department of animal husbandry noted that while there are no guidelines on establishing feeding zones, they should be away from human locations and not disturb vehicular movements. The official emphasized that feeding stray dogs does not mean offering leftover spicy or stale foods, which could pose health problems. A resident of Vidyaranyapuram, Lakshmi Krupa, an animal lover, welcomed the feeding zones for stray dogs and stressed the need for officials to create awareness about the facility, as many animal lovers are unaware of its availability in the city.
