[Siddhant Jain SJ @SiddhantJainSJ1]

Unfortunately, these Judges & mindless Haters forgot ethics, moralities & history of our Nation. From Treatayug to present, Street Dogs were always respected and loved. Suspend these biased judges now. Parted India in Two parts - @SCJudgments @MLJ_GoI @LiveLawIndia @barandbench

@JahnaviIyer @CommissionrGHMC @seethakkaMLA @revanth_anumula @TelanganaCMO @TelanganaDGP Please take "real problems" of Telangana more seriously. Not people's fake complaints on dogs. The SC order is being challenged. So please hold on and focus on implementing ABC program alone for now.

Why are we obsessed with an € epsilon problem? The math behind our misplaced priorities.

India is currently gripped by a stray dog narrative that has reached the highest levels of our judiciary. But if we look at the hard data, we arent just overreacting we are systematically ignoring much larger tragedies.
As Prof. Bhaskaran Raman (IIT Bombay) recently argued, the stray dog issue is an epsilon problem.
In mathematics, epsilon represents a value so small it can be treated as zero for most purposes.
While not a non problem, it is a statistical blip compared to the systemic failures we ignore daily.

1. The Myth vs. The Reality of Death
We are taught to fear rabies, yet the numbers tell a different story.
Rabies: Counted deaths are ~50/year; even high end models estimate ~20k. Road Accidents: Over 1.73 lakh verified deaths annually.
Infant Mortality: Over 7 lakh infants die every year from preventable, malnutrition-related causes.

Why does the Supreme Court take suo motu cognizance of a single (often unverified) rabies report, but not the 700,000 infants dying of hunger?

2. The Scale of Suffering
Compare the threat of dogs to the reality of Indias children

Dog Bites: Affect roughly 1 in 400 people (and this data is often inflated by counting vaccine doses rather than actual bites).
Child Labour: 1 in 26 children are trapped in forced labor.
Illiteracy: 2 in 3 children cannot read at their grade level.

3. Policy Absurdity
When judicial orders suggest spending school resources on "fencing" to keep dogs out rather than on teachers, blackboards, or mid day meals, we have lost our way. We are effectively choosing to protect children from a 1 in 400 risk of a bite while abandoning them to a 1 in 26 risk of losing their childhood to labor.

The Bottom Line: Calling stray dogs a national crisis is a mathematical absurdity.
It is a distraction.
It is time to stop letting dog aversion dictate national policy and start demanding urgency for the problems that actually claim millions of lives: Malnutrition, Education, and Infrastructure.
We cannot afford to let an epsilon problem occupy 100% of our social consciousness.

Dogs never bite out of malice. They endure atrocities quietly. But sometimes they bite because as a society, we scare the hell out of them for no reason and keep them in constant panic. Intentional harm is THIS! Such people and mentality should be locked away, not dogs!

“Flagrant violation of SC order?”

I see a lot of posts by people (who ‘dislike’ dogs, of course) sharing videos showing dogs moving around in below mentioned areas and saying ‘flagrant violation of SC order….’ And tagging authorities, and writing that authorities are not doing anything.

For most of these people who dislike dogs, they quote the SC order as:
“Immediate removal of stray dogs from Hospitals, Government centres, Schools, Stations”. Only this much. They conveniently and deliberately omit one VERY IMPORTANT PART OF THE ORDER - “into shelters”

The order stated that stray dogs from these places be removed INTO SHELTERS. Not just randomly pick them up and dump them somewhere else. Till shelters are ready, there is nothing that authorities can do; they have to wait. Even if they were to collect dogs, where would they keep them? Whereas, the dog haters want that million of dogs in India be removed in two days!

Not one such person asks:
Are shelters ready?
After all, are Lakhs of shelters really feasible?
Is it economically viable? (This is discussed in next post, below).

These dogs didn’t suddenly pop up out of the blue. They have been for years and in most of these places, they are just existing their life, trying to live. Their only fault was that they were born, unfortunately, on earth, which is claimed entirely by humans, without rights to any other species, which, according to humans, were made only for food, for exploitation or for enjoyment. If these other species don’t fit in one of these three categories, they should not be alive.
And in videos, posted by hate mongers, where dogs are rummaging through waste, the first obvious thing is waste dumped openly which happens all over India, but no one even comments on that filth part, the human contribution.

Not one such person asks, why did the dog numbers increase? Why were they not sterilized in last 25 years by authorities, in spite of ABC guidelines since 2001? Where did all the sanctioned money go?
(And neither do they ask that the dogs which are indeed sterilized, who actually got them sterilized? Who was the one who took the efforts?)

In my building, when I pointed these out, they just said “I don’t care what the f*** they do with the dogs, that’s not my lookout, I don’t want them in my building, that’s all”. ‘My’ ‘my’. The entitlement! There!! And with that statement, they show their true color, that they are ok if these dogs are killed, or dumped somewhere or thrown somewhere. They really don’t care about SC ruling about the shelter part. They just quote those parts of ruling which suit them and omit what is not feasible at all. Also, surprisingly, they forget SC statement suddenly in these two categories:
Crackers during Diwali (SC has banned crackers in Diwali after 10 PM, and has set time line for bursting crackers from 8 to 10 PM only). But we know how ALL OVER INDIA, crackers go on till one or two in the night, or even later. And when I asked the same person above, as to what about SC ruling for Diwali crackers; in our building children were bursting bombs at 1 AM and 3 AM, even 7 AM and in noon?, the chap conveniently says “That’s a different issue, can’t club with dogs”. So once you catch them on wrong foot, they will say it’s a different issue and try to push it below carpet. Second, SC also has a law about hoardings, do any political parties obey? Hoardings are all over India, does anyone quote SC then? I can discuss many such hypocrisies where there are rulings and people don’t care. Simple traffic laws, for example. India is the most lawless country in the world when it comes to anything related to driving, traffic, wrong side, breaking signals etc. but when it comes to dogs, suddenly, Indians start quoting SC, that too, only the part which suits them. Apart from that, people poop on laws.

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

After the courtroom emptied and the sentence was handed down in one of the most disturbing animal cruelty cases he had ever seen, Judge Martin Wallace couldn’t just drive home and pretend the day was over.

Thirty years on the bench had taught him how to separate duty from emotion.
But this case wouldn’t let him go.
The images. The details.
The quiet suffering of a dog named Finn—starved, ignored, treated like something disposable.

Still wearing his robe, Wallace got in his car and drove straight to the city animal shelter.

The staff tried to prepare him. They explained that Finn barely responded to people, that he was extremely weak, fearful, conserving every bit of strength he had left.
The judge still asked to see him.

He knelt in front of the kennel, lowered himself to the dog’s level, and spoke softly. He told Finn that someone had listened. That someone had taken his story seriously.

What happened next silenced everyone.

Finn slowly stood, trembling, and moved toward him. With unsteady steps, the weakened pit bull climbed into the judge’s lap—like he somehow already knew who this man was.

Judge Wallace broke down as Finn gently licked his face. He wrapped his arms around him and whispered words meant only for Finn—words of safety, protection, and home.

From that day on, the judge came back week after week. He sat with Finn, stayed with him through recovery.
And when Finn was finally strong enough for adoption, no one had to ask where he was going.

The papers were signed.
The leash was clipped.
And together they walked out of the shelter—a man and a dog, both marked by what they’d seen, both ready for a new beginning.

Sometimes justice doesn’t end with a verdict.
Sometimes it walks out…
on four legs.

VIDEO | Stray dogs case: On the Supreme Court’s hearing, Advocate Poulomi Pavini Shukla says, “It is repeatedly claimed that feeding increases the dog population and should be stopped. However, scientific evidence shows the opposite. Feeding makes sterilization easier, reduces aggression, and limits roaming. Fed dogs are calmer, rest more, and bite less. Feeders know the dogs, can identify illness, and help catch them for sterilization. Scientific evidence presented in court shows that feeding builds trust between dogs and humans, reduces their range, and increases sterilization rates. Countries like Tanzania have reduced dog bites by 75 per cent through feeding and sterilization alone. Penalising feeders, who are exercising a legal right, is wrong. Hunger makes dogs aggressive; fed dogs are calmer and less likely to bite. If the goal is to reduce dog bites, it must be done scientifically.”

Justice for 40 Dogs: @symbiosistweets & Senthilnathan Kumaraguru (https://t.co/imfuFjF41e ) Must Be Held Accountable!

40 vaccinated, sterilized, non-aggressive community dogs were killed after being taken from Symbiosis Law School, Hyderabad.

On 9 January 2026, 40 friendly community dogs from Symbiosis Law School, Hyderabad were seized and loaded into a truck with no explanation, and no destination disclosed.

These were not “stray dogs.”
These were dogs who grew up alongside students .,, fed, vaccinated, sterilized, and cared for by the student community. Many students depended on them for safety and companionship. Most of these dogs would not have survived without this support system.

What we know so far:
👉6 dogs were taken from inside the campus
👉34 dogs were taken from outside the campus gate & nearby areas
👉All campus dogs were vaccinated and sterilised
👉Some puppies were previously put up for adoption
👉Entry records were allegedly tampered with
👉CCTV footage reportedly had to be secured via police intervention

The college denied involvement!
The Panchayat stated the action was carried out under the college’s orders!

After escalation to authorities, confirmation received: the dogs were killed immediately after being taken .. all forty.

This was not an accident!
This was a decision!
And it was executed quietly, with attempted concealment!

We demand immediate disciplinary action, including termination, against Colonel Senthilanthan Kumaraguru!

VIDEO | Delhi: Advocate Jasmine Damkewala on Supreme Court hearing regarding stray dogs says, "There's a lot of misinformation floating around. There have been some incidents we are told of bites, but most of it is all, it's not really true. Now, as far as feeders are concerned, on the past occasion, the Supreme Court had said something like... We will hold the feeders responsible for bites or we may penalize the feeders. And that created a lot of misinformation because that was not an order. That was just an observation by the Supreme Court at that point of time when it was hearing a matter and it held a particular view. However, that resulted in a lot of feeders being attacked, feeders being beaten up, especially women feeders were attacked and harassed. So that issue was taken up today. We addressed the honourable (SC's) quote on that issue on the importance of feeding. We put forth scientific data on how feeding reduces bites, aggression, roaming of dogs... It's easier because a dog who's fed is easier to handle and sterilize and vaccinate and to collect data and to treat him if he is unwell and there is no question of rabies because almost all feeders would vaccinate their dogs against rabies. So after hearing submissions and scientific data, the Supreme Court basically made an observation that we are not saying you don't feed. We are not stopping feeding. We have never said that feeding should not happen. So that is, I think, in itself a very good news because though that is also an observation, it is not an order. However, it rests all the controversy that had arisen all these days where there was some misunderstanding that there was a misconception that feeding is banned or feeding is to be stopped. So that is put to rest today."
