Vahbbiz Dorabjee Reacts to Supreme Court Stray Dog Ruling: 'Caging These Voices Is Not a Solution'
TV actress Vahbbiz Dorabjee has strongly criticized the Supreme Court's order to move stray dogs to shelters, calling it an "absolute shock" and "absolute nonsense." She questions the compassion behind the decision and the suitability of existing shelter homes. TV fame Vahbbiz Dorabjee has reacted to the Supreme Court Stray Dog Ruling. In an exclusive chat with Times of India TV, television actress-model Vahbbiz Dorabjee, best known for roles in Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani, Saraswatichandra, and Bahu Hamari Rajni Kant, shared her reaction to the Supreme Court's newly issued directive on stray dogs. Vahbbiz described the court's order as 'an absolute shock,' adding that the country has more important things to deal with than to leave it all and pass an order on the voiceless — it's nothing but trying to be a bully. She felt strongly that 'caging these voices is not a solution at all.' She stressed that tiny lives don't deserve punishment and instead suggested that adoption campaigns or sterilisation efforts could offer real, humane solutions. 'A punishment like this is not deserved by these babies at all,' she said, her concern clear and heartfelt. Giving more of her view, Vahbbiz called the order 'absolute nonsense,' saying she strongly disagrees with it because she is 'a huge animal lover.' She added, 'Is compassion no longer there in our courts? How could anyone think of such harsh ways to treat innocent souls?' She also questioned the shelter homes named in the directive: 'How many have seen these centres? Do they even exist, and are they good or bad?' Why does this matter now? On August 11, 2025, the Supreme Court directed authorities in Delhi and nearby areas to move all stray dogs to shelters within eight weeks, warning that anyone who tries to stop the process could face legal action. The court said the step was necessary due to rising dog-bite cases and concerns about rabies. However, the decision has faced strong opposition from animal welfare groups, experts, and celebrities, who have called it inhumane and against the Animal Birth Control (ABC) Rules 2023. These rules focus on sterilisation, vaccination, and allowing stray dogs to live safely in their own communities. In Delhi, protests have taken place in several areas, with activists and dog lovers demanding the order be reconsidered. There are also questions about the shelter facilities themselves, with many wondering if they even exist in good enough condition to house so many animals.
