The data is clear, blunt, and inconvenient for the outrage industry. The Lancet, a peer-reviewed medical journal, reports a 75% decline in rabies deaths in India over 20 years, alongside a two-thirds reduction in dog bite incidence. This is not anecdotal. This is rigorous epidemiological fact.
This dramatic success is a testament to systemic public health interventions, not magic or luck:
- Extensive anti-rabies vaccination programs for dogs across urban and rural areas.
- Improved access to Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) for humans, making treatment available at primary health centers.
- Targeted awareness campaigns educating communities on bite prevention and first aid.
- Better integration of veterinary and human public health systems.
These are hard-won gains, the result of consistent, often unheralded, work by countless professionals. This is the result of selfless volunteering services of millions of dog feeders. It's a victory of science and sustained effort over disease.
So, when the Supreme Court deliberates on policies concerning community animals, the foundation *must* be this scientific evidence. To base policy on amplified media narratives or emotional appeals, ignoring a proven track record of decline, is a dereliction of evidence-based governance. It undermines the very systems that achieved this success.
We have a working model. The solution is to support it, not dismantle it based on manufactured fear. 🔬
A man filming on the beach of Little Andaman expected blue water and clean sand.
Instead, he found piles of garbage on beach.
Shocked, he claims this waste isn’t local it’s drifting in from the ocean, dumped by countries like Thailand, Malaysia, and Myanmar.
He shows the labels from the garbage belonging to the various countries
No borders in the sea and Someone else’s trash is reaching India’s islands.
VIDEO | On stray dogs case in Supreme Court, advocate Divyam Khera says, "The court took the cognisance of the fact that today, essentially, what we are facing is the failure of the municipality. In the last 25 years, they have not done the sterilisations. Had sterilisations taken place as claimed by municipalities that they have done, there would be no dogs in the streets today."

@news24tvchannel@news24tvchannel… please investigate both side of the story! Your one sided story has a bad effect on that couple who had to take this extreme step for some reason!
@news24tvchannel If one throws stones at dogs, they will not like you and bark at you… simple! I am sure that guy who has all the time in the world to stop his bike, run to the other side of the road and pick up stone to throw at dogs, has done it multiple times,hence it has come to this extreme
@CPBlr@PoliceBangalore@halairportps@DCPSEBCP@BBMP_AHD Instead of helping Ms. Gaytri who feeds stray dogs, HAL police asked her to keep dogs in her compound & did nothing to people hitting/harming stray dogs. Request HAL police to follow Supreme Crt laws on stray dogs & help.
@NewsBytesApp This is the best one to include an adoption. May be the couple should get some extra benefits if they have one biological kid and another an adopted one.
Photobombing didn’t work!🤣
