LM Tulip English School in Sakinaka, Mumbai, has openly defied a Supreme Court directive mandating removal of stray dogs from schools, hospitals, and public transport hubs. The school issued a letter on November 8, declaring its refusal to displace its two resident dogs, Yeva and Pandu, who have lived on campus for 14 years. Principal Saloni Kudalkar, an animal lover, emphasized their role as protectors and companions, noting they have never harmed anyone. Staff, students, and caretakers expressed deep emotional attachment, insisting the dogs are integral to the school community. The school argues removal would only invite new strays without care networks, urging authorities to reconsider the directive. (PC: India Today)
