The Supreme Court will hear the Delhi stray dogs case with a larger three-judge bench on August 14, following intense backlash over its earlier order to remove all strays from Delhi-NCR within eight weeks. The August 11 ruling, citing rabies and dog bite concerns, directed authorities to round up 5,000 dogs initially and prohibited their release. Politicians, including Rahul Gandhi and Maneka Gandhi, condemned the move as “cruel” and called for sterilisation, vaccination, and community care instead. Protests erupted near India Gate, with several detained. PETA India termed the order “impractical, illogical, and illegal,” demanding humane, science-based solutions. (PC: HT)
