An 8-year-old in Uttar Pradesh was attacked by a stray dog, similar to hundreds of other incidents across India. The timing of this attack however, raises concerns amid recent Supreme Court orders regarding the removal of such dogs within 2 months.

In a disturbing video caught on camera, a young boy can be seen walking down a deserted road in Uttar Pradesh when a stray dog suddenly emerges from the sidelines. The boy, frightened yet trying to protect himself, attempts to dodge the dog but it persists in launching a vicious attack. The boy eventually manages to escape, thankfully escaping with only minor injuries, but the incident raises alarms about the growing menace of stray dogs across Indian cities.

Ironically, this attack occurred just hours after the Supreme Court's landmark order for the removal of stray dogs from Delhi-NCR. In a nation already reeling with countless dog attacks on humans, ranging from minor injuries to even fatalities, this incident shines a new light on the severity of the issue.

The top court's decision, which aims to ensure the safety of citizens in the region, has also raised concerns about the effectiveness of the implementation. Many believe that the 2-month deadline imposed by the court is insufficient, considering the magnitude of the problem at hand. Moreover, there is a growing concern about the welfare of the dogs themselves, many of which are abandoned, abused, or ill.

As this little boy's frightening encounter shows, the issue of stray dogs continues to be a serious and immediate threat to citizens. While animal rights and welfare are important, it is imperative to strike a balance that ensures the safety of both humans and animals.

Only time will tell if the Supreme Court's orders will indeed make Indian cities safer for both humans and dogs, but until then, incidents like these show that there is still a long way to go.

Go!
