Supreme Court to Hear Plea on Managing Feral Dogs Threatening Wildlife Habitats
The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a plea seeking directions for the Centre to establish guidelines within a fixed timeline to manage feral, free-ranging, and domestic dogs in wildlife and protected areas. The petition, filed by the Bombay Natural History Society and others, highlights threats posed by these dogs to native wildlife, including endangered species like snow leopards and great Indian bustards. It also challenges certain provisions of the Animal Birth Control Rules, 2023, and requests regular monitoring and geo-tagging of such dogs. The matter is scheduled for hearing on November 17.
