India top court shelves plan to lock up Delhi's one million street dogs

India's Supreme Court reverses order to round up Delhi's one million street dogs after backlash from animal welfare groups. New ruling allows non-aggressive and vaccinated strays to be released to capture sites after sterilization. Authorities banned from feeding strays in public spaces and must create dedicated shelter areas. Animal welfare advocates support more humane solutions like vaccination and neutering to manage country's stray dog population and prevent rabies-related deaths.
