SC On Stray Dogs | Supreme Court Raps States On Stray Dogs Case: "India Portrayed In Bad Light"
The Supreme Court rapped state governments Monday for not filing affidavits to confirm compliance with its August order to catch, neuter, and release stray dogs across the country. An irate court observed multiple stray dog attacks had been reported since its order. Last month, for example, a child was attacked in Pune in Maharashtra and, days earlier, another young girl was attacked, this time by a pack of 20 dogs in the state's Bhandara district. And last week in Kerala, in an ironic twist, a man performing in a street play - about stray dogs -in Kannur district was attacked. Attacks have also been reported from Uttar Pradesh's Lucknow, where a family of three was bitten, and from Warangal in Telangana over the past 48 hours.
