Supreme Court Order on Dogs and Laws

• The August 11 Supreme Court order in Delhi aimed to override administrative lethargy on free-roaming dogs.

• The order prompted Delhi and its satellites to collect every street dog within eight weeks, confine them permanently in pounds, and expand shelter capacity.

• The order conflicts with the Animal Birth Control Rules 2023, which forbid municipalities from permanently relocating healthy dogs or impounding them for long periods.

• The Rules have failed to reach 70% coverage, causing urban dog populations to continue to grow despite sterilisation drives.

• The prohibition to return dogs to their territories has entrenched packs in high-density neighbourhoods.

• Policymakers should confront the outdated legal setup and distinguish between sociable dogs that can find homes, aggressive or chronically ill dogs that require euthanasia, and the large residual category that can live in proper shelters.

• Urban local bodies need steady funding to fund shelter construction and operation, and to fund large-scale sterilisation teams.

• Veterinary education councils should integrate shelter medicine into curricula to ensure a workforce exists to staff new facilities.
