On a grave note elderly people and children seem to be the prime victims of such attacks," it said adding that SMC had recently announced that a Memorandum of Understanding had been signed with the unemployed Veterinary Doctors Association for its Animal Birth Control and Anti Rabies Programme through pay per dog sterilization, "but unfortunately its results are barely visible on the ground."
