The Supreme Court of India has modified its earlier directive on stray dogs, now allowing their release post-sterilisation while mandating that only aggressive dogs be kept in shelters. This decision aims to balance public safety with animal welfare. The revised order comes amid ongoing debates over stray dog management and reflects a more nuanced approach to handling urban canine populations. Authorities are expected to implement sterilisation drives and assess dog behavior before deciding shelter placement. The Court emphasized humane treatment and responsible civic action, signaling a shift from blanket containment to targeted intervention.
