Recently, the Hon ble Supreme Court has ordered that all stray dogs in Delhi-NCR be captured and confined to shelters within 8 weeks.
On paper, this may sound like public safety – but in reality, it will mean mass suffering and death.
Street dogs are not criminals, they are sterilized, vaccinated community animals, living alongside us for years, cared fur by local feeders, and playing a role in controlling garbage and pests.
With great power comes greater responsibility. The authority to decide the fate of voiceless beings must be exercised with deep compassion and understanding.
WE CALL UPON THE PRESIDENT OF INDIA TO INTERVENE AND ENSURE THIS ORDER IS RECONSIDERED.
The solution lies not in removal, but in:
• Strict sterilisation & vaccination drives
• Better waste management
• Community caretakers & mediation
• Punishing cruelty, not the innocent
Commitment, Firmness, but kindness.
