The Supreme Court of India has acknowledged that its earlier August 11 order prohibiting the release of vaccinated stray dogs in Delhi and NCR was “too harsh.” In a revised directive, the Court now allows treated dogs to be released back into the same area after sterilisation and immunisation. This marks a significant shift in judicial tone, balancing public safety with humane animal management. The modification follows widespread concern from civic bodies and animal welfare groups. The original order had sparked criticism for its rigidity. The updated stance reflects the Court’s recognition of practical and ethical considerations in managing urban stray dog populations across the National Capital Region.(PC: NDTV & Hindustan Times)
