Dogs lie lifeless after authorities culled them in Karachi's Saddar area. ─ Photo by Syeda Rabab Jaffer/File KARACHI: While the province has been seeing a surge in the number of dog bite cases over the years, causing immeasurable human sufferings and increasing hostility against the poor animal in society, the provincial government seems to be in no hurry to make uniform local government byelaws under which officials would be required to provide protection from stray animals and ensure their humane handling, sources told Dawn on Sunday. The government ‘indifference’, they said, had also led the municipalities to continue with their brutal mass culling practices as means to curb canine population and incidence of their attacks.
