SC Rejects Plea on Dog Birth Control Cruelty

The Supreme Court of India recently refused to hear a request made by someone who wanted the Animal Welfare Board of India to take action against cruelty in places where dogs are controlled to prevent overpopulation.

The court did not agree to give any new orders but reminded everyone about the existing rules.

The person who made the request wanted to make sure that only organisations with proper certificates could do these operations.

The court had previously allowed putting down very sick or dangerous dogs to protect people.

They had also ordered that stray dogs should be moved from places like schools and hospitals to special shelters after being sterilised and vaccinated.
