Animal lovers who opposed SC order desperately await a copy of it, which is yet to be uploaded on court website, even as Rajasthan HC & Goa govt have already called for actions citing it.
While a section including both individuals and groups such as RWAs have welcomed the move to remove strays, animal rights groups have termed the order ‘cruel’ and ‘inhuman’.
One of the most widely shared posts on Instagram about how to help stray dogs was by comic Vir Das. He urged people of Delhi-NCR to adopt an indie off the streets.
FIR was lodged under Section 223 (disobedience to order duly promulgated by a public servant) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), ThePrint has learnt.
Earlier on Monday, a bench of Justices JB Pardiwala and R Mahadevan, hearing a case on rabies-related deaths, issued an order for clearing Delhi-NCR streets of dogs.
Animal rights activists criticise judgment as short-sighted. Rescuers say solution lies in controlling stray population through vaccination and sterilisation, not in mass removal.
Most of these comments echoed the same message originally posted by Alka Singh Bhargava, a retired IRS officer and former Chief Commissioner of Income Tax.
Buyers rarely bother with details like health clearances or the breeder’s credentials when their primary goal is to achieve a specific, Instagrammable look.
Punjab & Haryana HC upheld strict enforcement of Animal Birth Control Rules, 2023, dismissing RWA’s plea, noting that stray dogs can't be relocated unless rabid or seriously diseased.
Islamabad-based think-tank PICSS's new report says Pakistan saw 'pronounced escalation' in violence last year, with 3,413 conflict-related deaths compared to 1,950 in previous year.
Many of you might think I got something so wrong in National Interest pieces written this year. I might disagree! But some deserve a Mea Culpa. I’d deal with the most recent this week.
Looks like the well-protected “animal lovers” living their safe cocooned life in the ivory towers will make sure that the common man struggling to keep his and family alive and safe from the strays do not get any respite.
The likes of rich socialites and Bollywood actors should not be considered as stakeholders in this as they never face any problems with the strays. If they are really worried, as they have the means, in particular the bollywood actors, can build state-of-art shelters for the strays, keep them there and shower all their affection. But please do not play with the lives of common citizens who have to battle with so many things just to stay alive.
All stray dogs in Delhi/NCR should be rounded up and released into the official residence of the CJI. The honourable justice, with his infinite wisdom, would surely be able to understand the danger and threat they pose to human beings in minutes.
That said, all these animal lovers also need some tough love from the court. Maybe they can be rounded up too and lodged in dog shelters for a day along with their beloved strays. A single day spent with stray dogs should be enough to put some sense into them.
