Street Dogs to be removed from Streets in India...

Police in New Delhi, India have detained dozens of animal rights activists protesting a Supreme Court order to remove stray dogs from the city’s streets. The ruling directs authorities to capture 5,000 dogs from “high-risk areas,” sterilize them, and relocate them to shelters within six to eight weeks. Protesters argue the plan is inhumane and ineffective, calling instead for strict enforcement of animal birth control (ABC) rules. They claim the real issue persists “because the civic authorities who are deficient in India” fail to implement proper sterilization and vaccination measures, even as Delhi records nearly 2,000 dog bites daily.
