Mysuru: Activists rally against Supreme Court's stray dog order

India Nov 23, 2025

Animal rights activists in Mysuru held a candlelight vigil to express concern over the Supreme Court's recent interim ruling to remove stray dogs from public places, vaccinate them, and move them to shelters.
The group, People For Animals (PFA), Mysuru, worries this could disrupt how local communities care for street dogs under current Animal Birth Control (ABC) Rules.

Why it matters and what's next

The candlelight vigil and march—called 'Pawsitive March'—drew strong support near Cheluvamba Park.
Activists say the ruling could hurt the bond between people and community dogs, urging for more compassionate and science-based solutions.
PFA Mysuru has promised to keep working with city officials for fair dog management.
