of stray dogs in Sitapur on the mere assumption that the deaths were being allegedly caused by dog attacks.<\/p>\n<p>The plea claimed that &#8220;owing to lack of proper and timely efforts by the district administration to contain the number of attacks and the reason behind the same, the attack increased drastically which has as per the reports has led to death of 13 children&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The petition, filed by advocate Gargi Srivastava, has claimed that the magnitude of the problem grew this month when unconfirmed reports of attacks being carried out by stray dogs appeared in the media after statements by the district magistrate of Sitapur.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Following such newspaper reports, indiscriminate and brutal killing of community dogs by hanging them alive, burying them alive, hitting them with &#8216;lathis&#8217; (wooden stick), leaving them to bleed to death in a pile of garbage and shooting them point blank started,&#8221; the plea said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This rampant massacre led to over 150 community dogs being brutally killed over a span of few days by not only the local people but also under orders of the village panchayats, police officials as well as the officers from district administration,&#8221; it claimed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The applicant herein is conscious of the plight of the families of the victims and cannot even imagine their grief but the approach of the government and the administration in brushing aside this issue and leading to culling of numerous dogs in the area is nothing but a failed attempt to cover up their inactions as per earlier orders of this court in the instant matter,&#8221; the plea said.<\/p>\n<p>It alleged that the top court, in its November 18, 2015 order, had categorically directed all local authorities and panchayats not to kill stray dogs.<\/p>\n<p>The plea said that animal welfare groups had constituted a committee which visited Sitapur and found that massacre of dogs was allowed by the district administration and the police. It alleged that according to the local people, the district administration had hired people to catch and kill dogs and they were being paid Rs 600 per dog.<\/p>\n<p>It has sought a direction to the state government to take immediate action and lodge FIRs against individuals who were involved in aiding and abetting the killing of stray dogs without following the due process of law and also initiate inquiry against erring officials of district administration of Sitapur. Supreme court earlier and Animal Welfare Board of India should be directed to ensure that animal welfare laws in the country were diligently followed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Supreme Court today agreed to hear on Friday a plea against alleged rampant culling of stray dogs in Sitapur district of Uttar Pradesh following deaths of several children in the area over the past few months.
