Supreme Court Verdict on Stray Dogs | Vaccination, Feeding Ban, NGO Fine, QR Tag, Public Safety

The Supreme Court delivered a landmark verdict on stray dogs, ruling that aggressive and rabies‑infected dogs will not be released. The court ordered dedicated feeding zones for street dogs, mandated NGOs and dog lovers to deposit a security amount, and demanded QR tagging and digital tracking of dogs to enhance public safety. It also criticized viral dog funeral videos circulating on social media, sparked a debate on treating dogs like children, and raised concerns about potential new health risks. The decision reflects a comprehensive approach to animal welfare and public health in India.
