The Supreme Court questioned why lawyers were advocating adoption of stray dogs while ignoring orphaned children living on the streets. The Court stressed that compassion must extend equally to human beings and warned against one-sided arguments in the stray dog case.
Today (14th March): The Central Government has urged a ban on 23 breeds of ‘ferocious dogs’ due to public safety concerns. The ban, recommended by an Expert Committee, includes breeds like Pitbull Terrier, Rottweiler, and Cane Corso. All States and Union Territories are directed to outlaw these breeds, with a focus on curtailing their ownership, breeding, and sale.
