Several Bollywood celebrities have come forward to welcome the Supreme Court’s latest modification on its August 11 order regarding stray dogs. The court announced that sterilised and vaccinated dogs would be released back into their localities, provided they are not rabid or aggressive, instead of being permanently housed in shelters.
Raveena Tandon shared her joy on Instagram Stories, praising the decision with a heartfelt note. She wrote, “Dogesh bhai! Tum aage bahdo! Hum Tumhare saath hain! Better sense has prevailed. Thank you #cji #supremecourt. Now make sure the programmes and monies allocated for vaccinations and sterilisations are implemented rightly.” Her post reflected both relief and a call for accountability in executing the decision effectively.
Actor and comedian Vir Das also joined in, sharing his support online and highlighting how the modification ensures a fair balance between safety and compassion. Meanwhile, television star Rupali Ganguly, loved for her role in Anupamaa, expressed her gratitude on X.
She wrote, “A big win for compassion! Grateful to the Hon’ble Supreme Court for modifying its order, allowing sterilisation & release of stray dogs in Delhi. This step not only safeguards people from rabies & overpopulation risks but also lets our voiceless companions live with dignity. True progress is when compassion & safety walk hand in hand.”
The star reactions have struck a chord with animal lovers across the country, who view this as a much-needed humane approach to handling the stray dog issue.
