Mysore/Mysuru: Strongly condemning the reported remarks of MP Pratap Simha that street dogs need to be culled and that feeding them was not a big thing, more than 50 animal lovers under the banner of ‘People For Animals’ (PFA), Mysuru, staged a demonstration near the DC’s office here this morning.
“MP Pratap Simha at a recent MCC meeting that took place in the MCC Hall wanted the MCC to launch a drive for culling of street dogs as their increasing numbers posed a threat to pedestrians and motorists. The MP had also said that feeding stray dogs was not a big thing, which remark is an insult for dog lovers. This irresponsible remark of a responsible MP (Simha) is an abusive remark against all those feeding street dogs voluntarily out of compassion and love for animals. But the MP should take note that feeding stray dogs is a generous thing, which elected representatives who are mired in corruption, immorality and other such wrongdoings do not understand. The MP should apologise for his insulting remarks targeting dog lovers and withdraw his remarks”, the protestors said.
