The Supreme Court has directed Delhi civic authorities to remove all stray dogs from streets within 8 weeks and put them in shelters. They are to be sterilized and vaccinated and taken well care of, without being released again. Further no person will be permitted to adopt stray dogs ( obviously to prevent temporary protection ). Anyone preventing authorities from catching strays must be dealt with by the law. For those opposing the move, the court asked would they be able to bring back children mauled by strays? I think this move, though very severe, is necessary. Goa is being overrun by strays. Calangute is the worst affected. I think all strays in Calangute should be rounded up and put in shelters. Tourists and locals will heave a sigh of relief.
