Tried and tested

Animal Welfare Organisations accept that the ABC program has been proven to be the only humane way of controlling the street dog population and eliminating rabies worldwide.

In many parts of India, the ABC programme has proven very successful and KAT uses well-established projects in Jaipur and Kalimpong as models. The project in Kalimpong which started in 1998 has already resulted in an estimated 80 per cent reduction of street dogs. In addition, the number of human deaths from rabies has fallen from 25 to 30 a year, to zero in five years.
