In a significant move, the Supreme Court of India has directed authorities to remove stray dogs from schools, hospitals, and other public institutions to ensure safety and hygiene.
The apex court emphasized that while animal rights must be respected, public safety, especially for children and patients, remains a top priority. Local municipal bodies and state governments have been asked to take immediate action and set up shelters for relocated dogs.
The Court’s directive aims to strike a balance between compassion and public welfare, urging humane relocation and vaccination measures rather than cruelty or neglect.
