In the wake of the series of dog bite incidents being reported in Kerala and innocent faces of the kids
being tarnished as an aftermath of dog bites, we should remember that we live
in a country, India, where capital punishment is in force and justifiable homicide is not a capital offence, then, why culling stray dog is the most debated topic of the
time?
The Constitution of India
provides Fundamental Rights under Chapter III, Article 21 guarantees Right to Protection
of Life and personal liberty. According to Section 302, 303 under Indian Penal
Code (IPC), a person is sentenced to death for committing murder. Why then a
dog that is a threat to humans can’t be culled? Any individual, who is a threat
as well as a nuisance to the life of human beings, is put behind bars, why then
all these street dogs are let free?
