BETWEEN COMPASSION AND CRISIS: The Supreme Court's Stray Dog Directive and India's Moral Reckoning
Law enforcement shouldn't be political.
Part 9/10:
Nov 24 Hyd - 3 juveniles pour petrol on a street dog and set her on fire. She runs 200 meters while burning alive before collapsing. No suo moto cognizance.
Dec 24 Mum - A mother dog and her 6 puppies poisoned outside a housing society. Bodies found in garbage bags. No suo moto cognizance.
Jan 25, Bgl - Street dog beaten to death with iron rods by security guards for "entering the premises." No suo moto cognizance.
But one unverified newspaper article about a child's death (family says meningitis, not rabies) and the Supreme Court of India issues orders to remove 1 mn dogs in 8 weeks.
Tell me again this is about justice.
While the SC was obsessed with "protecting children" from dogs, here's what was happening to dogs with zero judicial intervention -
Chennai, Oct 24 - Resident catches puppy "barking too much", throws it from 4th floor balcony. Puppy dies on impact. Case filed. Bail granted same day.
Del, Aug 24 - Man angry about dogs near his car. Pours acid on three sleeping strays. 2 die slowly over days. 3rd loses eyes. Man fined ₹5,000.
Pune, Sep 24 - College students film themselves beating stray dog with cricket bats "for fun". Police - "Juveniles, can't do much"
Kol, No 24 - Housing society hires exterminator to poison all dogs in the area. 23 dogs die. Society president - "They were a nuisance". No arrests.
Where were the suo moto orders? Where were the emergency interventions? Where was the judicial outrage?
The math is clear, 1 human life = 1mn dog removal orders. 1 dog life = ₹5,000 fine if you're lucky.
This isn't about protecting life. It's about whose life the SC considers worth protecting.
That's the legal value of a dog's life. ₹100. A parking ticket costs more.
And when humans act on that declaration - burning puppies, poisoning mothers, beating strays to death - the system shrugs, "just a dog"
The street dogs didn't invade our cities. We built cities on their territories. They're not encroachers, we are.
THE SC's SELECTIVE COMPASSION - 1 child's death (unverified cause): Remove all dogs. Build 5K shelters. 8 weeks.
Thousands of dogs tortured, burned, poisoned, beaten annually. Why? Because dogs don't have families who can file PILs. Dogs don't have media connections. Dogs don't vote. Dogs are legally property, not beings. And property doesn't get suo moto protection.
India doesn't have a stray dog crisis. India has a human cruelty crisis that targets the voiceless.
3.7mn alleged bites (fabricated number) triggered constitutional intervention. Thousands of documented tortures, burnings, poisonings, murders of dogs - nothing.
The system isn't broken. It's working exactly as designed. Protect humans from the mildest consequence of coexisting with animals. Protect animals from nothing, not even the worst human sadism.
