Human contraceptive jab Sangini found used in dogs for sterilisation

Thirteen dogs were found to be infected with pyometra, an infection in the womb. The cause behind the fatal infection was the use of human contraceptives on dogs, according to veterinarians.

Several dogs, house pets and street dogs were found to have been injected with Sangini—a hormonal vaccine used as a temporary contraceptive by women—in Phidim, Panchthar. The act is a violation of animal rights, one that reflects sheer negligence on the authorities’ part towards the health and well-being of the canines.
