Implement the Supreme Court’s Stray Dog Removal Order Nationwide to Protect Lives
Implement the Supreme Court’s Stray Dog Removal Order Nationwide to Protect Lives
The Issue
The recent Supreme Court order to remove stray dogs from public spaces in Delhi NCR and house them in shelters is a landmark step towards ensuring public safety. This decision puts human lives -especially those of our children and elderly - at the forefront. We must not only support this order but also push for its implementation across the entire country. For too long, ineffective policies and misplaced priorities have allowed a dangerous situation to spiral out of control. This petition calls for nationwide adoption of the Supreme Court’s directive to make our streets safe and restore peace to our communities.
Who is impacted?
Every day, thousands of people across India - especially children and the elderly-live in fear of stray dog attacks. In Delhi NCR alone, nearly 2,000 dog bite cases are reported daily. These animals often roam in packs, blocking streets, chasing schoolchildren, and knocking over elderly pedestrians. Rabies, a fatal yet preventable disease, continues to claim hundreds of lives each year in India, with stray dogs being the primary carriers. Families are left grieving and communities remain unsafe.
What is at stake?
If we fail to act, dog bite incidents will continue to rise, more lives will be lost to rabies, and our public spaces will remain unsafe for vulnerable citizens. Government funds are already being drained by ineffective vaccination and sterilization programs, which have failed to reduce the menace. The Supreme Court’s order offers a chance to finally make our streets safe - by removing stray dogs from public areas and housing them in shelters, preventing further harm to both people and animals.
Why is now the time to act?
We cannot allow powerful lobbying by certain animal NGOs - some even resorting to threats of violence and disruptive protests - to derail this life-saving measure. Public safety must come first. The Supreme Court has taken a decisive step for Delhi NCR; now, it’s time to implement this policy across the nation. Every day of delay means more bites, more rabies cases, and more shattered families. Let’s unite to protect our communities and ensure the safety of every child, parent, and grandparent in India.
⚠️ Every bite can be prevented. Every life can be saved. Stand with us - sign this petition today to make India’s streets safe for everyone.
