VIDEO | Animal Rights Activist Maneka Gandhi spoke on the Supreme Court's order to remove all stray dogs from the Delhi-NCR streets within 8 weeks. She says, "This judgment is a suo motu case, which means nobody complained; the judge took it up on his own. We were expecting something like this anyway. Now, if this order is to be followed, it would mean rounding up three lakh dogs in Delhi and placing them in centres. The Delhi government would need to find 1,000–2,000 centres, as too many dogs together would fight. They would first need land, then construct facilities within eight weeks, costing at least Rs 4-5 crore, with caretakers, feeders, and watchmen to prevent escapes. This judgment seems to lack rational thought and stems from anger. Strangely, the order is based on a newspaper report of a child killed by dogs, but the family has confirmed the child died of meningitis." (Full video available on PTI Videos -

#WATCH | SC ordered removal of all stray dogs from the premises of educational institutions, hospitals, bus and railway stations and directed that they won’t be released back in the same area after sterilisation. Animal rights activist & BJP leader Maneka Gandhi says, "This is as bad as or even worse than Justice Pardiwala's judgement. This cannot be put into practice...If 5000 dogs are removed, where will you keep them? You need 50 shelters...But you do not have that. You need people to pick them up. What difference will removing 5000 dogs make? If there are 8 lakh dogs here, what will removing 5000 dogs change?...The question is that if this were possible, it would have been done..."

#WATCH | Delhi: On Supreme Court refuses to modify directions to remove stray dogs from public places, Animal rights activist Gauri Mulekhi says, "I think it is a balanced judgment. Earlier in November, the Court had asked for dogs to be summarily picked up and removed and kept in shelters, whatever. Here today, the most stress was given to animal birth control rules. It has been directed that there has to be an animal birth control centre in every district. There has to be trained manpower, trained veterinarians, as well as procedures to be followed, which have been prescribed by the Animal Welfare Board of India. Reporting has to be done, and compliance reports have to be given to the High Courts and the Supreme Court. So the focus on animal birth control rules is very, very welcome, and the rest has been left to the state authorities as to how they want to remove dogs from sensitive areas..."

We have the ABC (Animal Birth Control) guidelines of 2023 in place, which include a 'pick-and-drop' provision. You cannot simply pick up dogs and put them in a shelter permanently. They have rights... There are Articles 19, 21, and Article 51-A(g), which mandate compassion for animals, specifically instructing us to protect every living creature... No one is going to build shelters for dogs. The costs involved are exorbitant, and even if shelters were constructed, the dogs housed within them would likely not be provided with food... If any improvement were going to happen, it would have happened long ago. We wouldn't have to bear the cost of sterilisation out of our own pockets..."

#WATCH | Over SC order on stray dogs, Political Analyst Tehseen Poonawalla says, "We are grateful to the Supreme Court for giving a humane and balanced judgement. I have 31 community dogs, which are an extended part of my family. We have vaccinated & neutered these dogs, and also allotted a space to them. Why did the population of dogs increase? The MCD failed to vaccinate and neuter the dogs. ABC is a successful program, but it was not successful in Delhi due to corruption in the MCD. We should vaccinate and neuter these animals and try to integrate them with the community. But no aggressive animal should be on the roads."

You'll have to employ 1.5 lakh people to just be sanitation workers, which will again cost crores... Firstly, when they go to get the dogs, there will be fighting in every street because feeders are not going to let the dogs go. Every day, there will be fights. Do we want this destabilisation situation? Other political parties will get into it to attack the BJP... When the dogs from here are displaced, dogs from nearby states will come to Delhi, as there will be more food here. Then, within a week, there will be another 3 lakh dogs in Delhi, and these will not be sterilised. Then will you start another sterilisation programme and spend hundreds of crores again?..."
