The Indian Supreme Court has ordered the removal of 5,000 stray dogs from New Delhi following a surge in dog bite incidents, some resulting in rabies. The court's decision aims to address public health concerns arising from the escalating number of attacks. However, animal rights activists and conservationists have strongly condemned the ruling, arguing that it is an impractical and unscientific approach to managing the stray dog population. Critics propose alternative solutions such as widespread vaccination and sterilization programs as more humane and effective methods.
