The Supreme Court’s August 11 directive to relocate all stray dogs from Delhi-NCR to shelters within eight weeks has drawn strong criticism from Bollywood. Janhvi Kapoor and Varun Dhawan shared a powerful petition on Instagram, calling the move a “death sentence” and urging humane solutions like mass sterilisation, vaccination, community feeding, and adoption—not confinement . Raveena Tandon labeled the judgment “ridiculous” and “inhumane,” blaming local bodies for failing to implement ABC (Animal Birth Control) programs . Meanwhile, John Abraham wrote to the Chief Justice, calling the order illegal, impractical and contrary to ABC Rules, and stressed that community dogs are integral to Delhi’s social fabric.
