Mysuru: The University of Mysore’s decision to ban the feeding of dogs, birds and aquatic animals within the Kukkarahalli Lake premises has sparked unrest, with animal rights activists registering their protests by feeding stray dogs twice daily on the public roads outside the Lake.
This act of defiance targets the University, which is the custodian of Kukkarahalli Lake. Signboards have been installed at the Lake’s entrances to enforce the ban, which also prohibits the entry of pet animals. Even former MP and animal rights activist Maneka Gandhi has spoken to the varsity authorities to revoke the ban.
