#WATCH | Delhi: On Supreme Court refuses to modify directions to remove stray dogs from public places, Animal rights activist & BJP leader Maneka Gandhi says, "They have simply stated that they will no longer entertain any further hearings on the matter. They have said that if anyone has an issue with our verdict or if they feel their grievances are not being heard, they should approach the High Court. Now, whether people will actually go running to 36 different High Courts across the country, or whether they won't, remains to be seen. In their previous verdict, they had issued very strict directives: remove them from schools, remove them from colleges, remove them from hospitals, remove them from bus stops, and instead, construct shelters for them. None of these five directives has been implemented by anyone...our demand is simply this: establish ABC (Animal Birth Control) centres—and build them properly. The ABC centres that currently exist are of very substandard quality; furthermore, the contracts for these centres were awarded to the relatives of officials. Consequently, they do not treat the animals with proper care. After performing sterilisation surgeries on the animals, they take them from affluent colonies and dump them into impoverished neighbourhoods...A dog that has already undergone sterilisation surgery will never bite anyone. So, if the ABC centres were established and operated correctly, everything would run smoothly..."

Permanent caging is not animal welfare. It is institutional cruelty disguised as governance. AWBI’s SOP is unscientific and dangerous. #SaveIndianAnimals #SaveIndianDogs #NoDogsNoVote @TheWire_in @guardian

AWBI’s new SOP proposes mass confinement of street dogs. Science, ethics & global best practices reject this. Cruelty cannot be policy. India needs humane solutions, not dog prisons. #SaveIndianAnimals #SaveIndianDogs #NoDogsNoVote @ThePublicIndia @guardian @LiveLawIndia

ABC centres are meant for surgery, not mass detention. Yet dogs are dumped there daily. @RahulGandhi @KTRBRS @BRSparty @GHMCOnline @OfficeOfKTR #TelanganaRising #GHMCStopTheCruelty #MessiForAnimals

Public health & animal cruelty crisis. Hyderabad deserves humane, legal ABC. @TeamMessi your voice can save lives. @GHMCOnline @TelanganaCOPs #ShameOnGHMC #HelpUsMessi #TelanganaRisingGlobalSummit2025

Dogs crammed 7–8 per cage in ABC units meant only for surgery. Disease & starvation reported. @TeamMessi, Hyderabad needs intervention. @GHMCOnline @TelanganaCOPs #ShameOnGHMC #HelpUsMessi #TelanganaRisingGlobalSummit2025

Hyderabad's community dogs are illegally picked up & kept in overcrowded ABC centres. SC guidelines ignored. @TeamMessi help us raise our voice. @GHMCOnline @TelanganaCMO @KTRBRS #ShameOnGHMC #HelpUsMessi #TelanganaRisingGlobalSummit2025

Every stable, vaccinated dog removed is replaced by an unvaccinated one. Every sterilised dog removed is replaced by multiple new litters. This is how population rebound works. Ignoring it puts communities at risk #SaveIndianAnimals #SaveIndianDogs

Removing vaccinated, sterilised street dogs creates a vacuum effect. New unvaccinated, unsterilised dogs will migrate in, increasing rabies risk, not reducing it. Basic epidemiology #SaveIndianAnimals #SaveIndianDogs #NoDogsNoVote @julie_dutto @dodo @rickygervais

Dogs are territorial, when vaccinated dogs are displaced, other animals like monkeys, rodents and pigs occupy those spaces. This increases multiple zoonotic disease risks, not just rabies #SaveIndianAnimals #SaveIndianDogs #NoDogsNoVote @Niallharbison @dodo @rickygervais

Rabies control needs 70% vaccination coverage (WHO). Delhi’s ABC infrastructure is already vaccinating “only 15 dogs per centre per day”, removing dogs makes vaccination mathematically impossible #SaveIndianAnimals #SaveIndianDogs #NoDogsNoVote @dog_rates @wow_animals1

Removing sterilised & vaccinated dogs doesn’t make cities safer — it creates space for unvaccinated, unsterilised dogs to move in. This increases disease risk, not reduces it. Public health needs science, not panic-driven orders. #SaveIndianAnimals #SaveIndianDogs #NoDogsNoVote

Culling has failed in every country that tried it. India must not follow a broken path #SaveIndianAnimals #SaveIndianDogs #NoDogsNoVote @WHO @UN @BBCNews

An appeal to every democratic representative—protect the rights of animals citizens who care for them. This is a humanitarian issue. @RahulGandhi @ArvindKejriwal #SaveIndianDogs #AsliMudda #SaveIndianAnimals
