New Delhi: The Delhi High Court has said stray dogs have the right to food and citizens have the right to feed them, however, in exercising this right care should be taken to avoid causing any nuisance to others.
While laying down guidelines regarding feeding stray dogs, the Delhi High Court also said every dog as a territorial being has to be fed and tended to at places within their territory, which is not frequented by the general public.
Any person having compassion for stray dogs can feed them at the private entrance, the driveway of their house, or any place not shared with other residents. But no one can restrict people from feeding dogs unless it causes harassment or nuisance to them, the Court added.
