Supreme Court's Revised Stray Dog Order Wins Praise for Balanced Approach
The Supreme Court has revised its order on stray animal management, earning praise for its balanced approach from various quarters. The new ruling aims to protect public health while ensuring animal kingdom welfare.
Maneka Gandhi, a former Union Minister, hailed the revised order as a 'scientific decision'. It differentiates between aggressive and non-aggressive dog breeds, with only the former being exempt from return to their original neighborhoods. Priyanka Chaturvedi, who had criticized the initial order as inhumane, welcomed the new, more balanced line.
The ruling mandates the return of sterilized and vaccinated stray dogs to their original neighborhoods, with special feeding stations to be set up to reduce conflicts and hygiene risks. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has shown readiness to implement this order using its existing ABC centers. The success of the ruling, however, depends on clear definitions of 'aggressive' dogs and sufficient resources for local measures.
The Supreme Court's revised order on stray animal management seeks to strike a balance between public health and animal kingdom welfare. With clear definitions and serious implementation, this ruling could set a nationwide precedent for uniform management of stray dog breeds.
