Varun Dhawan reshared a note on their respective Instagram. menace. We call it a heartbeat. Today, the Supreme Court says - take away every stray dog of the streets of Delhi-NCR and lock them away. No sunlight. No freedom. No familiar faces they greet every morning," the note read.
“Yes, there are problems - bites, safety concerns - but caging an entire community of animals is not solution but an erasure. The real fix? Large-scale sterilization programs, regular vaccination, unity feeding zones, and adoption campaigns. Not punishment. Not imprisonment.”
Janhvi Kapoor’s Instagram message wrote- “But these aren’t just ‘stray dogs.’ They’re the ones who wait outside your tea stall for a biscuit. The silent night guards for shopkeepers. The wagging tails that welcome children home from school. They’re the warmth in a cold, uncaring city. Yes, there are issues, bites, safety concerns, but caging an entire community is not a solution, it’s an erasure.”
The note added, “What’s truly needed? Large-scale sterilisation programmes, regular vaccination drives, designated community feeding areas, and proper adoption efforts. Not punishment. Not imprisonment. A society that cannot protect its voiceless is one that is losing its soul. Today it’s the dogs. Tomorrow… who will it be?”
Filmmaker Siddharth Anand also spoke out, “There’s simply no compassion left. Who will ensure they’re fed in those shelters? At least on the streets, some kind-hearted souls still feed these voiceless beings. In shelters, they’ll starve. This is a death warrant. Someone, please start a petition. We must stop this genocide. I stand with you!”
Actor Adivi Sesh said, “As a citizen who respects both the letter and the spirit of the law, I am deeply disturbed by the recent order calling for the mass confinement of street dogs in Delhi-NCR. This measure not only flouts our legal responsibilities but also betrays the compassionate principles that India is meant to uphold.”
