"Each year, about 20,000 people in India die of rabies after being bitten by one of the country's many street dogs. Proposals made by the Indian supreme court last year to relocate dogs in Delhi and ban citizens from feeding them (except in approved areas) have been the subject of intense debate, because people do not like to see starving dogs."

About 20,000 people in India die annually from rabies following bites by street dogs. The Indian supreme court proposed relocating dogs in Delhi and banning citizens from feeding them except in approved areas. Those proposals have provoked intense debate because many people dislike seeing starving dogs. The proposed measures are likely to be ineffective in practice. Street dogs often obtain food at waste points and feeding stations, which would reduce the impact of relocation and feeding bans on dog movements and human–dog interactions.
