Stray dogs...why don't get off!!

Mad, bad, dangerous anthropocentrism The Supreme Court's recent order on stray dogs in Delhi-NCR has sparked controversy, overriding previous rulings and the Animal Birth Control Rules 2023. Critics argue the decision lacks consideration, relies on potentially inaccurate data, and fails to address the root causes of the issue, such as inadequate ABC programs and negligent authorities. Mad, Bad, Dangerous Anthropocentrism Diktat bulldozes rational, scientific solution The Supreme Court's Monday diktat on Delhi-NCR's stray dogs is neither considered nor constitutional. It's an arbitrary fiat that bulldozes past earlier enlightened court rulings, principle of natural justice, established Animal Birth Control (ABC) Rules 2023-and even Gol's own April admission in Parliament that 'intensive imple-mentation of ABC is the only rational, scientific solution' to control dog populations and rabies. In May 2024, after 16 years of hearings, a CJI bench upheld ABC rules. This la-test order trashes them in one stroke, with no explanation for the U-turn. Worse, it leans on possible inaccurate data. We're told Delhi has 8 lakh dogs and just two hospitals Ram Manohar Lohia and Safdarjung-reported 1.5 lakh dog-bite cases (2025 data). That would mean 1 in 5 dogs has bitten people and all victims magically showed up at the-se two hospitals. And are these even all stray bites? The last dog census in Del-hi was carried out in 2016. Justices JB Pardiwala and R Maha-devan's directives, draped in the pious description of 'larger public interest', have handed a free pass to authorities who, for years, have dodged their legal duties-dog censuses, ABC programmes, vaccinations. Where did the ABC budget go? On the ground, most shel-ters are filthy holding cells, municipal coffers are thread-bare, and veterinary staff scarce. Yet, the order demands the impossible, risks turning citizens on each other, and lets the real culprits failing authorities walk free without so much as a rap on the knuckles. This isn't just about dogs. It's about judicial decision-making that shrugs off facts, shields the accountable and ignores proven, science-based solutions. The court should overturn the order as soon as possible. Manufacturing a 'menace', and then finding a quick 'final solution', is not just bestial but also the worst kind of irrational anthropocentric 'justice' in action. more

Satya pal jer it is a good idea. Take gopendra jee's help and file the complaints. It would be a good start. Mr Gopendra please send Satya pal Jee your mobile so he can contact you. more  

sir you can file police complaint against the owner and he will be fully liable for his dog. further he will be liable for mistreating the animals also as you said that he keep them in cages. both the complaints will be registered with the police and may be clubbed in one FIR. I am very sad that such insane people bring bad reputation to the animals who are not that much violent otherwise. its further very inhumane to keep them in cages . . its very sad. please do file complaint against him and i will try to help if possible. more  

I would like to take the gentleman NRI to court on this. And also if the dog is a stray dog we should take the MCD to court. Legal activism in the west is the one which brings discipline in the govt officers and ensures the rights and duties of the public. We should also have the legal firms pick up such cases without charges except for a share of the compensation they ensure. It would ensure such cases as those of Satya's wife donot go in fought. But how to move in that direction? Are there any retired advocates ready to form a firm and follow it up? more
