Today, On 13th January, The Supreme Court remarked in the Stray Dogs case: “No one is allowing us to pass the order; it has become a public platform rather than a court.” The bench also asked the feeders, “You take them home, so why let them roam, bite, or chase? Dog bites have lifelong effects.”
The Supreme Court resumed its suo motu case on stray dogs, with Justice Vikram Nath asserting, “I am the master of my own court,” refusing to follow the SOP on fixed argument timings. While Sr. Adv. Gopal Sankarnarayanan said, “time should be indicated for the arguments,” Justice Vikram Nath replied, “I am not following that so far”
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.
