Recent stray digs development.

Recent Developments on Stray Dogs in India In a recent ruling, the top court of India ordered that stray dogs should be moved to shelters within a few weeks. This decision has sparked a wide range of opinions from activists, animal lovers, and the general public. On one hand, as a dog lover myself, I care deeply about the well-being of innocent puppies. However, I also believe we cannot ignore the increasing incidents of stray dog attacks, including cases where innocent people have been seriously injured or even killed in several states. This is a sensitive issue that must be handled with compassion as well as practicality. Public safety must be prioritized, but humane treatment of animals is equally important. Some activists have revealed that sheltering and feeding a single stray dog costs around ₹2,500 per month. This raises serious concerns about the financial feasibility of large-scale shelter management, especially in densely populated areas with thousands of strays. A sustainable solution must be found — one that ensures the safety of people, avoids unnecessary public expenses, and treats stray dogs with dignity. Not all dogs are fortunate; while some live like royalty in the comfort of their owners' homes, many others struggle to survive on the streets. Everyone is eagerly waiting to see what balanced and effective steps will be taken on this crucial issue. K.Ragavan --
