Bollywood stars have spoken out against the Supreme Court’s order to remove all street dogs from Delhi-NCR. John Abraham wrote to the Chief Justice, saying, “These are not strays but community dogs… very much Delhiites in their own right.” Janhvi Kapoor and Varun Dhawan called the move “a death sentence for all dogs,” adding, “They call it a menace. We call it a heartbeat.” Vir Das urged residents to “adopt an indie off the streets,” saying they give “more love and gratitude than you could ever imagine.” The court has directed shelters for 5,000 dogs within eight weeks.
