Reacting to the order to catch and sterilize stray dogs of Delhi-NCR and keep them permanently in shelter homes, senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said that these mute animals are not a problem that can be eliminated. This is a cruel decision.
Rahul Gandhi wrote on social media that the Supreme Court's order to remove all stray dogs from Delhi-NCR is like a retreat from a decades-old policy based on humanity and science. These mute animals are not a problem. Shelters, sterilization, vaccination and community care can keep the streets safe and that too without any cruelty, but the step of suddenly removing dogs en masse is cruel, short-sighted and beyond compassion. We can ensure public safety and animal welfare together.
Maneka Gandhi has also raised questions
Let us tell you that before Rahul Gandhi, animal rights activist Maneka Gandhi had also raised questions on this decision of the Supreme Court. Maneka Gandhi had called it impractical, financially impossible and potentially harmful to the environmental balance.
On July 28, the Supreme Court itself took notice of the incidents of deaths due to rabies due to stray dog attacks. The court had described it as extremely worrying and frightening. The court has given instructions to build shelter homes for stray dogs within eight weeks. It has been asked to start a campaign to catch 5000 dogs in six weeks. It has been asked to start it from sensitive areas. It has talked about strict action against those who obstruct this action.
