Municipal authorities in Indian-run Kashmir have halted a programme to poison hundreds of stray dogs in the city of Srinagar.
The move came after animal rights campaigners threatened court action on grounds of cruelty.
Five hundred dogs had already been poisoned, but city officials say they will try a programme to sterilise the animals chemically instead.
The cull was originally proposed to help eradicate the threat of rabies.
