The Supreme Court reversed an earlier directive to mass-round up stray dogs across Delhi and instead ordered authorities to sterilize, immunize and return the dogs to the neighborhoods from which they were collected. The court allowed only "aggressive dogs" to remain in shelters and instructed that feeding points be established for street dogs. The reversal followed street protests and objections from activists who warned that a rapid, unplanned roundup would endanger animals. Political figures and animal welfare petitioners criticized blanket removals, welcomed the new balanced approach, and noted that local officials still face significant implementation work.
The mood after the new order is buoyant,
It's great that the dogs released and returned to their homes.
Blanket removals are cruel, shortsighted, and strip us of compassion,
No one can deny that the overpopulation of dogs in the city is causing problems,
Collection
