What People Disliked
- I’m extremely disappointed and disturbed by my recent experience with CUPA.
- There was a stray dog outside my house with a severe eye infection, and I reached out to them multiple times for help.
- No one responded initially.
- After persistent efforts, someone finally got back to me and gave me a number of a person who would "rescue" the dog.
- This person caught the dog but demanded Rs.
- 2200, something I was never informed about by CUPA.
