Vir Das applauds Supreme Court’s stray dog ruling, urges faster implementation and community care

Comedian Vir Das praised SC's decision

Comedian and actor Vir Das has recently praised the Supreme Court for modifying its previous decision on stray dogs.

The SC has ordered the civic bodies to release the stray dogs in the same area where they were picked up from after vaccinating and sterilising them.

However, the dogs showing aggressive behaviour or those with rabies are ordered to be immunised and not released.

Vir Das took to his X (formerly Twitter) and complimented the revised decision of the Supreme Court. The comedian tweeted, “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.”

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…

He concluded, “It is nice to know our voiceless dogs can rely on your empathy and balance.”

Previously, Vir Das took to his Instagram and requested the residents of Delhi to adopt the Indian stray dogs. He also urged everyone to support animal welfare groups.

He penned at the time, "If you're a resident of Delhi. Can I persuade you to adopt an indie off the streets, more than one? They're extremely healthy, low maintenance, and will provide you with more love, affection and gratitude than you could ever imagine."

Vir Das added, "I'm also asking you to wholeheartedly and generously support your nearest animal welfare NGO. I plan on doing so, and I hope you will too. As appeals are filed in court and processes take their time, it's important for our humanity to kick in immediately. Please do your part, big or small; it all adds up."
