Alert: Citizens Criticize MCD Sterilization Drive, Demand Action Against Human Criminals First

Citizens and animal welfare activists have raised strong concerns over the implementation of stray dog sterilization drives in Delhi. While municipal authorities like the MCD claim to conduct sterilization and shelter programs, many residents argue that these rules exist only on paper and are rarely enforced. NGOs, feeders, and local caregivers often bear the financial and logistical burden of managing stray dog populations, sometimes using their own money to provide food, medical care, and sterilization.Activists emphasize that stray dogs often play a protective role in neighborhoods, preventing crimes and safeguarding residents. Many argue that human criminals, especially those committing violent or sexual offenses, pose a far greater threat to public safety and should be prioritized for strict legal action. The public questions why resources are spent on controlling dogs while human offenders are not adequately punished.Citizens demand transparency, accountability, and ethical implementation of government programs, arguing that animals should not bear the consequences of human failures. They urge the authorities to focus on human crime prevention first and ensure that sterilization drives are conducted fairly, efficiently, and with proper planning.
