SC seeks Centre, Kerala's response on plea to kill stray dogs
NEW DELHI, Dec 1, 2015, DHNS:
The Supreme Court on Monday sought response from the Centre as well as the Kerala government on a plea by Ernakulam-based NGO Aluva Janaseva, seeking direction to protect children from falling prey to stray dogs and make free availability of anti-rabies medicine.
A bench of Justices Dipak Misra and Prafulla C Pant issued notice to the Animal Welfare Board and others on a plea by advocate V K Biju, appearing for the NGO, who brought out certain newspaper clippings showing how the children have been bitten by the stray dogs and have suffered serious injuries.
“Appreciating the submission that the children are fundamental embodiment of human race and they deserve protection from any kind of attack by the stray dogs, we are inclined to issue notice,” the bench said, seeking response from the Centre and the Kerala government within 4 weeks.
