All stray dogs in Delhi-NCR to be moved to shelters within 8 weeks, orders SC

I wish he or the courts stood by the decision instead of trying to “think again” about that issue. How it will be implemented be the govt’s headache. Atleast govt will take steps to avoid street dogs from killing people if they can’t implement the rule to 100%.. This rethinking and re-deciding will only keep worsening the issues.

Reminds of Mao’s war against sparrows.

They killed the sparrows who ate the locusts and because there weren’t any sparrows the locusts ate the crops and they had a bad famine.

The campaign was called The great leap forward

The Rajasthan High Court on Monday (August 11) directed municipal bodies to remove stray dogs and other animals from city roads while ensuring that minimum physical harm is caused to them.The court further said that if anyone obstructs the municipal bodies from removing stray animals from the roads/colonies/public paths, then Municipal officials/employees are at liberty to take action


It takes guts to even take any decision and stick to it. Right or wrong is different matter.
These people dont have balls to stick to any of their policy. Once again they will go through same process. They must have gone through goods and bads of this and come to this conclusion , right?
Phir kya naya baat hogaya ( what new happen now)

its like a children sitting at Judges chair
 Homework Nahi hua beta koi baat nahi beta phir try kar lo
( unnecessary time wasting )

I just want to say this to our judge


Brother you are wrong /s, at least Children are innocent, the judges on the other hand are b***rds.

Yes the blady dogs are biting, maiming the children and adults alike.

Why No animal lover takes this into consideration?

Because of anti rabies injections nobody is dying but biting and maiming is also crime right.

At least in few cases people died even after vaccination. Fatality depends on the body area where rabid dog bite.

Animal lovers’ perspective is that, entire humanity is beneath dogs and some selective animals. They would say entire humanity can go to hell to save dogs. That’s why they would fight for their life to feed an animal on the street but leave it there and let it have fun biting others.

(absolutely correct)

i would like add during those periods many suffer severely too.


for those who are interested here’s a compilation. time stamp 34:00 to 50:00


commentary on adhe adhure dog lovers


Arre, read what I and others have written. We want dogs to be removed from streets too. Everyone here does NOT want dogs on the street.
The question is how do we do it.

People keep sharing this in their insta, whatsapp etc.

The thing is having shelter and all that as per the BBC video shows.

It will cost 150 per day per dog just for food.
150x 10lakh = 1500 crore only food

Then other expenses like shelter maintenance, staff salary, keeping etc.
On top Netajis making money out of this.

Will all come to Rs 6000 crore per month for Delhi alone. ( Almost $800 million to $1 billion )

If this is carried all over country ..($10 billion ) per month on dogs ..
.
So if done in humane ways.
Be ready to pay 3% additional tax as Kutta Tax.

Just amazing.

Both the guy and the pitbull :clap:

A bite is a bite.

Over here more likely from a stray. Over there by someone’s dog.

I don’t see a difference.

Going to hurt just as much if not worse.

The only real solution is to neuter them properly over a year or so.

I am not sure apart from euthanising how local municipalities can handle such huge number of dogs.

Even other states will ban so there will be no place and money. Even shelters in countries like USA put down animals in shelters if not adopted. We literally have multiple millions of more number of stray animals.

As per the reports 30 years ago they were 60,000 in Delhi .

Today they are 10 lakhs.

If something is not done today.
They will become 4 crore in next 10 years or more.

I am happy to pay 100rs per month if they can keep our city dog free (stray dogs).

I was avoiding chiming in here but here goes.

Disclaimer : I am lifelong dog owner. Never purchased any. All were rescued including my current ones. All were in bad condition physically, bad enough that it was guaranteed they will not survive even in the streets. So I took them in. 5 pet dogs, all strays. Now let’s get into it.

First the 10 lakh population number is BS imho. What to make of it, I won’t go into that.

But even if you assume it’s half of that or even 1/10th. It’s next to impossible to implement SC order on their timetable.

Second, even if we do it on war footing, it’s still gonna take couple of years of dedicated work by multiple people, officials, volunteers & govt agencies to make it happen. The SC order lacks any thought process behind implementation.

Now coming to issue and people blaming animal lovers.

This is human created problem. We domesticated these animals. They are directly dependent on human civilization & they prosper even on the streets due to mistakes we made as a society. If we had kept our cities & towns clean, taught our kids how to behave with strays, planned for this as a society, we wouldn’t be here. You can’t undo 6-7 millennia of domestication of an intelligent animal which knows how to survive in matter of weeks. You can’t fix the problem caused by decades of neglect of waste management in matter of weeks. I want every dog out of street but this SC order is going to do more damage than solve anything. Dogs will find a way to hide, escape and breed if you do not fix the root cause.

Sterilization efforts worked couple of decades back in Mumbai so much so that there were few years where there were just 1-2 strays in our gully. But as soon as BMC sterilization drive lost it’s pace , their population bounced pack.

I am afraid same is going to happen in NCR.

Currently these dogs are surviving on society’s waste & compassion of few people. It’s society really ready to pay for properly tackling this issue? If we were, we wouldn’t be here.

Don’t hurt cleaner the govt & animal lovers, it’s a mess everyone has created & we will have to pay for it as a society. There are no shortcuts. Any shortcuts will boomerange expectacularly.

I hope I am wrong. But I have seen this happen before here in Mumbai.

The solution lies in multi year planning , awareness, relentless sterilization drive, rehoming of all pups first, & adults if possible & shelters for the needy. All have to happen simultaneously in parallel.

“Just take em of the streets” is not going to work

It’s also a way to keep the city corporation at it which is needed.

The pet owners should pay that.
