India's Supreme Court Orders Removal of 5,000 Stray Dogs from New Delhi's Streets
India's Supreme Court has issued a directive for the removal of stray dogs from New Delhi's streets. The court aims to tackle the escalating number of dog bite cases, with nearly 2,000 incidents reported daily in the capital. The court has also established an animal helpline for reporting such cases.
The court has ordered the capture of 5,000 stray dogs from high-risk areas within six to eight weeks. These dogs will be placed in shelters. The court has warned of severe legal consequences for anyone obstructing this operation. Meanwhile, animal activists have opposed the court's intervention, but the court has questioned their stance, asking if they could help those affected by rabies.
Rabies, a virus that attacks the central nervous system, is almost always fatal if left untreated. The rising number of dog bites has raised concerns, prompting the court's action. A senior Delhi state legislative minister has announced that the government will commence capturing stray dogs as per the court's order, also ensuring the overall well-being of these dogs.
