Supreme Court Slams Sharmila Tagore's 'Unrealistic' Stray Dog Plea

  • The Supreme Court criticized Sharmila Tagore's arguments against a one-size-fits-all approach to stray dogs as 'completely devoid of reality'.
  • The court dismissed examples like a friendly dog at AIIMS, stating dogs with ticks in hospitals could have 'disastrous consequences'.
  • Tagore's lawyer suggested an expert committee to identify 'aggressive' dogs and color-coding collars, citing Georgia and Armenia.
  • The Supreme Court questioned the practicality of such solutions given India's population, calling for realism.
  • The court clarified it did not order removal of all stray dogs, but rather treatment according to animal birth control (ABC) rules.

Why It Matters: Supreme Court rejects Sharmila Tagore's stray dog arguments, emphasizing realism over idealized solutions.
