The Kannur district panchayat in Kerala moved the Supreme Court on Monday for permission to euthanise “suspected rabid” and “extremely dangerous” stray dogs in its limits.
The trigger, said the petition filed through district panchayat president P.P. Divya, represented by advocate Subhash Chandran K.R., is the death of a 11-year-old autistic child.
The petition said the boy was mauled to death by a pack of stray dogs in Kannur on June 11.
