Animal activist alerts municipality.

It is a meaty matter!



Some restaurants are serving biryani with dog meat in the Indian city of Aurangabad, a member of the animal welfare board has warned. Raising the alarm, the Aurangabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) officials have been warned to be wary about it.



Mehar Matharani of the animal welfare board visited the corporation and also met AMC Commissioner D.M. Mungalikar as well as other senior officials regarding the issue, a report in The Times of India said. She did so following suggestion by Union minister for women and child development Maneka Gandhi.



Mehar then went along with the AMC's dog squad to monitor capturing of the dogs in the city, the report said.



She alleged that many dog heads were found in Aurangabad and a few had their body parts missing. Some restaurants have biryani with dog meat on their menu and are selling them at a cheap price, she pointed out.



Mehar's sane advice to stop the practice: Check population of stray dogs.



She wants to revive the animal birth control programme on dogs which AMC discontinued two years back.
