The Supreme Court has warned that states will likely face "heavy compensation" for every dog bite, death, or injury, citing a "complete failure" to implement norms for stray animals. Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta also indicated that individuals and organizations feeding stray dogs could be held accountable for attacks, questioning why these animals should roam freely. The court emphasized the lifelong impact of dog bites and the need for effective action, suggesting that those who feed strays should keep them in their homes. The bench is hearing petitions concerning stray dog management and the implementation of Animal Birth Control rules.
