In a sweeping decision, the Indian court has ordered the removal of thousands of stray dogs from the New Delhi region. The court's ruling comes in response to the rising number of dog attacks on residents and reports of rabid canines roaming the streets.
Local authorities have been instructed to take immediate action to capture and remove the stray dogs from the city. Animal rights activists have expressed concern over the decision, fearing that the dogs will be mistreated or euthanized.
The issue of stray dogs in India is a long-standing problem, with an estimated 30 million roaming the streets. While some advocate for the adoption and sterilization of these animals, others support more drastic measures to address the public health and safety risks they pose.
Residents of New Delhi are divided on the court's decision, with some welcoming the removal of the stray dogs while others question the ethics and effectiveness of such a large-scale operation. As the authorities begin the process of rounding up the dogs, the future of these animals remains uncertain.
