Delhi HC says stray dogs deserve better than street life
The Delhi High Court just called for a big change—stray dogs deserve proper care and shouldn't be left to wander the streets.
Justice Mini Pushkarna pointed out that letting dogs roam or dig through trash isn't safe for anyone, people or pups.
Court calls for a real plan to manage strays
The court says sterilization alone isn't working, especially since many animal birth control centers and dozens of vet hospitals in Delhi are shut.
Now, officials have been told to team up and come up with a real plan for managing stray dogs.
This all came up during a case about Pratima Devi, who's been sheltering over 200 dogs after her makeshift shelter was targeted for demolition.
The next hearing is set for September 17, as the city tries to find a balance between public safety and caring for animals.
