This Supreme Court order finally addresses Delhi's long-standing stray dog crisis, which has terrorized families for years. With over 35,000 animal bite incidents reported in just six months and children dying from rabies, immediate action was overdue. The current sterilization-and-release policy has clearly failed to protect public safety.
This order ignores decades of scientific evidence showing that mass sterilization and vaccination programs are the only humane and effective solution. Displacing stable dog populations will create a dangerous vacuum effect — potentially worsening rabies risks while causing immense suffering to community animals that residents consider part of their family.
