Street animals like dogs, pigs, and cows are just too nuisances to the public,to the traffic and for the health of human beings.Dog bites are on the rise. Cows laying on the street clog up the traffic or cause accidents, piglets are all over the place getting hit and their dead bodies are rotten and stinky causing health risk to the community. Animals are not meant to be on the street, they should have their own shelters. People in Belgavi are not animals to share the space with animals. If the higher authorities assigned to this task are unable or unwilling to do the job then they should be dismissed / terminated from their position so that someone else can handle the task and bring it to successful completion.
