India’s Supreme Court has directed the removal of all stray dogs from Delhi-NCR—from Delhi, Gurugram, Noida to Ghaziabad—within eight weeks, mandating their permanent relocation to shelters with no return allowed . PETA India promptly denounced the ruling as “inhumane,” “illogical,” “illegal,” and fraught with chaos, citing its conflict with the 2023 Animal Birth Control (ABC) Rules that require sterilization and return of street dogs . Meanwhile, protests erupted at India Gate, with activists detained amid fierce debate, and voices including Rahul Gandhi, animal welfare advocates, and editorial boards opposing the directive as cruel and counterproductive.
