We have laws against incitement to communal and caste violence.
Why is incitement to violence against animals treated as acceptable speech?
The law must address this gap.

When a verified account with 100,000 followers calls for strays to be 'cleared out,' that is not an opinion.
It is instruction.
Platform responsibility is not optional.
#JusticeForMickey#NoMoreRs50#MarchToTheSC
Facebook groups, housing society chats, neighbourhood apps.
This is where anti-animal sentiment is organised in India.
Community dogs are threatened not just on the street but in group chats.
#JusticeForMickey#NoMoreRs50#MarchToTheSC
Influencers and public figures who post anti-stray content to thousands of followers are not venting.
They are setting a tone.
That tone gets translated into real violence by real people.
#JusticeForMickey#NoMoreRs50#MarchToTheSC
Every time a post calling community dogs a 'menace to be dealt with' goes viral without consequence,
someone takes it as a green light.
Online normalisation of anti-animal sentiment has a body count.
#JusticeForMickey#NoMoreRs50#MarchToTheSC
WhatsApp groups coordinating harm to community animals operate openly.
No platform accountability. No legal consequences.
The law must catch up with where incitement actually happens.
#JusticeForMickey#NoMoreRs50#MarchToTheSC
In India, social media posts openly calling for dogs to be poisoned or beaten circulate freely.
They get likes. They get shares. They get no action from platforms.
This is not debate. This is incitement.
#JusticeForMickey#NoMoreRs50#MarchToTheSC
Media should inform. Not incite.
Stop fear. Stop hatred. Stop propaganda.
Community dogs are not the enemy. The culture that tolerates their abuse is.
#JusticeForMickey#NoMoreRs50#MarchToTheSC
When a news channel runs a segment on the 'stray dog menace' without mentioning the humans who poison and beat those dogs, that is not balance.
That is bias. Call it out.
#JusticeForMickey#NoMoreRs50#MarchToTheSC
Millions of animals suffer every year due to human cruelty, neglect, and habitat destruction.
But the story on your screen is about how dangerous dogs are.
Ask yourself who benefits from that narrative.
#JusticeForMickey#NoMoreRs50#MarchToTheSC
Instead of promoting fear, media could promote solutions.
Vaccination. Sterilisation. Responsible waste management. Coexistence.
These exist. They work. They just don't generate outrage clicks.
#JusticeForMickey#NoMoreRs50#MarchToTheSC
The real crisis is not animals. The real crisis is humanity.
Corruption. Pollution. Violence. Ecosystem destruction.
None of that is caused by community dogs. Stop the scapegoating.
#JusticeForMickey#NoMoreRs50#MarchToTheSC
If media covered animal cruelty the way it covers stray dog attacks, perpetrators would face public pressure.
Instead, victims get blamed and abusers get ignored.
That is a choice. A wrong one.
#JusticeForMickey#NoMoreRs50#MarchToTheSC
Promoting fear of community dogs is not journalism.
It is propaganda.
And it has real consequences. Mickey paid one of them.
#JusticeForMickey#NoMoreRs50#MarchToTheSC
Dogs don't run corruption.
Dogs don't pollute rivers. Dogs don't commit crimes against women.
Yet they are the ones being demonised on prime time news.
#JusticeForMickey#NoMoreRs50#MarchToTheSC
Air pollution kills 16 lakh Indians a year. Road accidents kill 1.7 lakh.
But the headline is: stray dogs are a menace.
The real menace is being ignored.
#JusticeForMickey#NoMoreRs50#MarchToTheSC
Some news channels can't find budget to cover animal cruelty.
But dog hatred propaganda? That gets prime time.
Media should inform. Not incite.
#JusticeForMickey#NoMoreRs50#MarchToTheSC
The Supreme Court while giving the impractical order on stray animals said they are negativity affecting the image of the country. Let's hear it from the people on what actually affects the image of India in the world.
