Feeding dog
6 months ago
My neighbours harnessing me for feeding stray dogs in my locality ... as its my own house i hav no option of shifting
What shd i do
A.Dear Client,
Firstly, there is no law against feeding strays so get that very clear. There is a Delhi High Court ruling that says that it's our duty to feed them and protection must be provided by police to such individuals who feed stray dogs. This is a right guaranteed under the Constitution of India and no one can stop you from showing compassion towards animals. Feeding stray dogs is legal both within and outside any society, and what is prohibited is threatening dog feeders from carrying out their essential obligation under Article 51A(g) of the Constitution of India.
The Animal Welfare Board of India has issued extensive guidelines on feeding stray dogs, and there have been numerous judicial decisions protecting dog feeders and caretakers who face the wrath of ill-informed neighbours. Interfering with or harassing anyone who chooses to care for and feed community dogs is criminal intimidation, as defined by Section 503 read with Section 506 of the Indian Penal Code.
You can file an FIR against anyone who threatens you and stops you from feeding strays.
