Delhi under great pressure: Court orders removal of all street dogs!

The decision of the Supreme Court in Delhi, which to bring all stray dogs of the city to animal shelters within eight weeks, caused turmoil nationwide. The judges justify this drastic step with the worrying increase in dog bites and the associated risks of rabies. According to the authorities, at least 26,000 dog bites have already been reported in Delhi this year, which makes the situation appear alarming. With an estimated 800,000 stray dogs in the Indian capital, the population has long been confronted with this problem, which endangers public security.

Family members of victims, such as the aunt of a child who died through dog bites, support the judicial order and hope that the girl's death was not for nothing. In a strong contrast, dog lovers and animal rights activists criticize this measure as a long -term detention of animals, which is not a solution to the problem. Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi described the decision as a step backwards and the Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor also emphasizes that locking the animals is not a helpful solution. Animal welfare organizations like PETA India also criticize the lack of a scientific basis for the arrangement.

growing problem worldwide

The increasing number of stray dogs is not just a problem in India. There are over 35 million stray dogs worldwide, which is a serious threat to public security and the well -being of the animals. The causes of the increase are diverse: inadequate castration programs, irresponsible behavior of dog owners and rash urbanization contribute to the fact that more and more dogs live on the street.

A particularly worrying example is the attack on a five -year -old girl in Jammu & Kashmir, who was seriously injured by stray dogs. These incidents illustrate the risks associated with uncontrolled dog population, including the spread of diseases such as rabies. In fact, over 36 % of global rabies come from India. The situation is further exacerbated by illegal waste disposal, which provides food sources for the stray dogs and further heated up the population.

strategies to combat dog prolemics

In order to counter the crisis, the countries concerned need effective solutions. This includes comprehensive sterilization programs that aim to reduce the population in the long term, as well as educational campaigns on responsible pets. Organizations such as Four Paws are actively committed to medical care and the mediation of homeless dogs. The goal is to find a sustainable approach that guarantees public security and at the same time puts the well -being of the animals in the foreground.

The Strays project, initiated by the University of Leeds and Four Paws International, aims to determine the most effective methods for management freely inventive dogs. It examines the various approaches such as CNVR (capture, neutering, vaccination and release) and their effects. It has been shown that such methods that tackle several causes of population growth are delivering the best long -term results.

In order to counteract public health risks and the endangerment of animals, a concerted commitment of governments, NGOs and society is required. The human reduction in dog population, combined with educational work on animal husbandry, remains the key to a successful strategy in dealing with stray dogs.
