Darubaaz @BhagwantMann

The Supreme Court did not authorize a blanket “eliminate stray dogs” campaign.

The order clearly applies only to rabid, incurably ill, or demonstrably dangerous aggressive dogs, after assessment by qualified veterinary experts and strictly under the PCA… pic.twitter.com/sYMPKQhV8a

This entire controversy has come to light after the recent comment of the Supreme Court, in which the court had refused to change its earlier order to remove stray dogs from sensitive areas like schools, hospitals and other public institutions. The court had also made it clear that even after sterilization or vaccination, such dogs should not be released back into sensitive areas.

“We considered in detail the petitions seeking withdrawal of the November 7 decision, but all the petitions were rejected,” a bench headed by Justice Vikram Nath had said during the hearing.

The Supreme Court also acknowledged that incidents of dog attacks have now spread to schools, residential colonies, airports and public places. The court also noted several extremely worrying incidents of attacks on children, the elderly and passengers.

However, animal rights organizations have warned governments that any action should not violate the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act and Animal Birth Control Rules. At present, it has not been clarified by the Punjab Government as to how the proposed campaign will be implemented on the ground.
