"Community dogs (stray/street dogs) have the right to food and citizens have the right to feed community dogs but in exercising this right, care and caution should be taken to ensure that it does not impinge upon the rights of others or cause any harm, hindrance, harassment and nuisance to other individuals or members of the society," the High Court had said. But the court observed that citizens need to take care and caution so that it does not harm others. The Delhi High Court had said that even stray dogs have the right to food and citizens have the right to feed the animal. This is not the case with stray dogs, therefore feeding in societies, streets, or at any public places is a direct risk to citizens," the NGO said. "A dog under human supervision and control and dependent on its human caretakers for all of its needs can be prevented from biting and attacking people and other animals by physical restraint, confinement to private property, and suppressing aggressive tendencies with care and training. However, with stray dogs it is difficult, therefore feeding in societies, streets, or at any public places is a direct risk to citizens.
According to the NGO, a pet dog can be prevented from biting and attacking people and other animals by physical restraint.
