Our Voice: Advocacy & Awareness

Dogs don't need our pity, they need our respect. This post reframes the conversation around street dogs, urging people to see them as neighbours, not problems.

What would our world look like without street dogs? This series of posts imagines a quieter, but lonelier and colder, city, highlighting the warmth and life that street dogs bring to our communities.

A world without the wild, warm presence of street dogs would feel empty. We reflect on the silent companionship these animals provide in our daily lives.

No muddy paws, no wagging tails, just silence. We paint a picture of what we would lose if street dogs disappeared from our neighborhoods.

Street dogs are a part of our history and our community. They are the watchers of our lanes and our childhood companions, and a city without them is a city without a soul.

We break down the recent Supreme Court ruling regarding the relocation of stray dogs in Delhi, questioning if this was the only and best solution to the perceived problem.

We highlight the immense pressure on animal shelters, which are often underfunded and understaffed. The court's ruling to relocate strays adds an unsustainable burden to these organizations.

We propose alternative solutions that could have been considered, such as better vaccination and birth control programs, promoting adoption, and funding shelters to do their jobs effectively.

We champion the role of "streeties" as territorial protectors who provide a sense of security in our neighborhoods, a valuable contribution the Supreme Court's ruling overlooks.
