As the drive against stray dogs began following the Supreme Court’s strict guidelines, mixed reactions have emerged from the public.Leading Punjabi actress Sonam Bajwa, through a post on Instagram, appealed to Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, saying the Supreme Court had not ordered the mass elimination of stray dogs.“The Court spoke about regulated removal from sensitive public spaces along with sterilisation, vaccination and sheltering — not wiping dogs off the streets,” she said.Questioning the government’s preparedness, she asked, “Where are the shelters? Where is the infrastructure?”“This absolutely cannot become a death sentence for voiceless animals. Public safety matters. Human lives matter. But compassion and responsibility matter too,” she added.Bajwa further made an appeal to CM Mann to reconsider the approach and adopt a compassionate and humane solution.She also urged the government to bring animal welfare NGOs, veterinarians, local authorities and public safety experts together to work towards a humane, practical and sensitive solution.“How we treat the voiceless ultimately reflects who we are as a society,” she said.
