The problem of stray dogs in Delhi-NCR has become a big challenge. Every day, someone is becoming a victim of these dogs. In view of such cases, a big order (Supreme Court order to remove stray dogs) has been issued by the Supreme Court, which states that the stray dogs present in Delhi, Gurugram, Ghaziabad and Noida should be caught as soon as possible and kept in shelter homes. At the same time, celebrities and animal lovers across the country have reacted strongly to the recent order of the Supreme Court to remove stray dogs from the streets of Delhi-NCR.
Janhvi Kapoor, Varun Dhawan react to SC order against stray dogs
Let us tell you that Janhvi Kapoor and Varun Dhawan re-shared a note on their Instagram stories. Janhvi Kapoor shared a petition on her Instagram story which criticized the court order. She agreed with this statement, "They call it a threat. We call it a heartbeat. Today, the Supreme Court says to remove every stray dog from the streets of Delhi-NCR and lock it up. No sunlight. No freedom. No familiar faces, they meet every morning. But these are not just stray dogs. These are the ones who wait for biscuits outside your tea shop. They are silent watchmen at night for shopkeepers. These are the tails that wag when children return from school. They are warmth in a cold, indifferent city".
Janhvi Kapoor wrote this
The note further said, "Yes, there are problems of animal bites, there are safety concerns, but locking an entire community of animals in cages is not a solution. It is like wiping them out. What is the real solution? Large-scale sterilisation programmes, regular vaccination drives, community feeding areas, and adoption drives."
Chinmayi and Siddharth Anand opposed the order of the Supreme Court
I am reading this as a death sentence for all dogs.

People dump Huskies and Labs and German Shepherds once they are done breeding them to death, in India.
Shelters indeed.
Since Dogs are the Vehicle of Lord Kala Bhairava - May He do the needful

Sharing a report about the Supreme Court order, singer Chinmayi wrote on X, "I read this as a death sentence for all dogs. People leave Huskies, Labradors, and German Shepherds to die after breeding them in India. Actually, in shelter homes. Since dogs are the vehicle of Lord Kala Bhairava, they should fulfill his needs."
There’s just no compassion left. No compassion.

Who will look after their food there? Atleast on the streets there are some empathetic humans still who feed these poor voiceless souls. They will die of hunger and thirst there and that’s the death warrant the SC has signed.… https://t.co/ReXgLghchm
Siddharth Anand also tweeted, "There is no compassion left. No compassion. Who will take care of their food there? At least on the streets, there are some sympathetic humans who feed these poor, mute creatures. They will die there of hunger and thirst, and that is a death warrant signed by the Supreme Court. Please, someone, start a petition and stop this massacre. I am with you!!!"
