Stray Dogs have a Hope With New Judgement of Supreme Court of India

It is a known fact that thousands of stray dogs are floating around towns and villages. Many of them live their life and die, and the corporation is not concerned. Animal lovers petitioned the Supreme Court of India to give a decision on how to treat these helpless animals. In a landmark judgement, the Supreme Court of India has instructed all corporations to be duty-bound to catch stray dogs and keep them in shelters. Many petitioners had asked for the dogs to be shot dead. The Supreme Court has rejected this, and the solution is welcomed by animal rights lovers. I wonder what is the solution because the dogs are two innumerable numbers and I have multiplied over the years but I suppose some action will be taken and over the next year or two the stray dogs will not have to die on the roads.

Please like to adopt fancy breed dogs. We find very few people who would adopt a stray dog.

@allknowing When I was a kid we too had a stray dog at home. He never let strangers into our compound and would daily wait for me at the bus stop when it was time for me to come from school.

@mayka123, this is rare, but a few cases have taken place, but even pet dogs do it. My friend was bitten by a pet Alsatian. He had a terrible time later.

I was bitten by a stray dog when I was a child. I am in favour of the decision from the supreme court.

Well, that's interesting... Corporations only care about their bottom line. How much would you like to bet that the corporations will start killing any stray dogs they catch to keep from having to feed and shelter them?

That’s a significant step for animal welfare in India. Keeping stray dogs in shelters instead of resorting to culling shows a more compassionate approach
