Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has shared a series of posts on X hitting out at animal lovers who have criticised the Supreme Court's recent order directing the Delhi administration to move street dogs to shelters, citing a spike in dog bite cases, rabies and human fatalities.
The director, known for films such as Satya, Shiva and Company, is one of the few film celebrities who has a contrarian view to the top court's order regarding removing dogs from the streets of the Delhi-NCR region.
Ram Gopal Varma shared his 10 points addressed to the dog lovers "who are upset about the Supreme Court's decision on stray dogs".
In one of the points, the filmmaker said it's insensitive to preach compassion to the stray dogs victims and their loved ones when a certain class of citizens can love their pets in their luxury homes.
