Free Press Journal Executive Editor S. Balakrishnan sits down with animal rights activist Sneha Visaria to discuss Mumbai’s heated kabutar khana (pigeon feeding zone) debate. With the matter scheduled to be heard in the High Court on 7 August 2025, tensions are rising between tradition, public health concerns, and civic regulations.
In this interview:
Sneha Visaria argues that the BMC’s crackdown lacks scientific backing.
We break down the public health narrative versus the cultural norms around pigeon feeding.
What exactly is at stake in the HC hearing on 7 August—and how could it set a precedent for future civic policies?
Will the court challenge the BMC’s approach—or uphold the cultural practice of feeding pigeons?
Is there a way to balance urban hygiene with compassion for city wildlife?
Watch now for a deep dive into legal, civic, and ethical dimensions of this evolving story
