A leader from HD Kumaraswamy's Janata Dal Secular has admitted to killing 2800 dogs to ensure "the safety of children". MLC SL Bhojegowda demanded that a "petition be filed in the Supreme Court... let Karnataka be the first in India to ask the Supreme Court to act against dogs".
"We also have concern for animals, but animal lovers are another menace," Mr Bhojegowda said in the Legislative Council today. "But you see the suffering of young children. You read about this daily in the papers and TV. It is happening every day," he said.
