Several members from the entertainment industry have welcomed the Supreme Court’s revised order regarding stray dogs in the Delhi/ NCR region, according to which the stray dogs will be sterilised, vaccinated, deformed, and then released back into the areas from where they were picked up.

However, it must be noted that this order does not apply to dogs that are rabid or show aggressive behaviour. Taking to the stories section of her Instagram stories, Raveena Tandon thanked the apex court for reconsidering its verdict. “Dogesh bhai! Tum aage bahdo! Hum Tumhare saath hain (We are with you)! Better sense has prevailed. Thank you #cji #supremecourt. Now make sure the programmes and monies allocated for vaccinations and sterilisations are implemented rightly," she wrote.

Comedian and actor, Vir Das, took to his X timeline and penned: “Thank you to the Supreme Court of India for supporting the process of sterilisation, vaccination and a safe return of our community dogs to their neighbourhood. Hopefully the municipality can be speedy about creating dedicated feeding areas and also rely on multiple dog trainers and behaviourists in delhi and nationwide for behavioural modification and community integration, it is nice to know our voiceless dogs can rely on your empathy and balance.”
