An incident involving a dog biting a five-year-old's ear in East Bengaluru has stirred a social media storm, highlighting the importance of pet owner responsibilities in residential complexes. The Citizens’ Movement, East Bengaluru, brought attention to the incident on the social platform X, prompting renewed discussions on managing pets in shared living spaces.
In response, Anirudhha Ravindra, director of Praana Animal Foundation and animal welfare warden for the Karnataka Animal Welfare Board, emphasized the necessity of mandatory pet registrations by the BBMP to ensure pets are vaccinated and monitored effectively.
Vikram Rao, president of the Bangalore Apartment Federation (BAF), noted that around 1,300 apartments adhere to BAF's 2019 pet guidelines, which have also been adopted by other complexes. The Karnataka government’s 2020 regulations require pet owners to keep their pets on a leash in public or common areas like lifts, parks, and corridors. Owners must also clean up after their pets and ensure their pets do not disturb others, particularly at night.
Additionally, BAF’s guidelines advise pet owners to be considerate of individuals uncomfortable around animals and to keep pets away from such individuals. Ensuring pets' health through regular vaccinations and behavioral training is also recommended. Aniruddha highlighted that all dogs, regardless of breed, can exhibit reactive behavior and suggested therapy and training to teach basic commands like sit and stay.
The incident has highlighted the critical need for pet owners to adhere to these guidelines to foster a harmonious living environment in residential areas.
