About SC’s decision on stray dogs
On November 7, the Supreme Court ordered all States and Union Territories to immediately remove stray dogs from places such as schools, hospitals, sports complexes, bus stands, depots, and railway stations. The court directed that the animals be sterilised and vaccinated as per the Animal Birth Control (ABC) Rules, 2023, under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, before being shifted to designated shelters. The SC further said that none of the animals should be allowed to escape from these shelter homes.
The Supreme Court’s latest order directing the relocation of stray dogs in the Delhi-NCR region to shelters has sparked divided reactions within the entertainment industry. While some celebrities view the move as necessary for safety, many others argue that it goes against the principles of animal welfare. This led to multiple protests in the National Capital, urging the SC to withdraw its order.
The Supreme Court on Thursday resumed hearings on the stray dog issue, with a bench comprising Justices Vikram Nath, Sandeep Mehta, and N.V. Anjaria. The proceedings focus on petitions highlighting the risks posed by stray animals and the alleged lapses of civic authorities in controlling them.
