There are street dogs near my house that I feed regularly, but a couple asked me to stop. Am I legally bound to stop? After a small quarrel, they threatened legal action. What should I do? Can I continue feeding them safely?
Feeding street dogs is not illegal in India. Courts have recognized the right to feed stray animals, but it should be done responsibly—without causing nuisance or safety issues to others. You can continue feeding them in a safe place, preferably away from the couple’s premises. If they threaten legal action, you can defend yourself with existing animal welfare guidelines.
