Kerala has demanded changes to the Animal Birth Control (ABC) Rules as increasing stray dog attacks and rabies cases spark public health concerns.The Animal Birth Control (ABC) Rules, 2023, notified under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, regulate stray dog population control through sterilisation and immunisation, not culling. ABC Rules mandate local bodies to establish dog sterilisation centres, maintain proper facilities, and carry out humane capture, neutering, vaccination, and release of dogs.
