Thu Dec 05 18:55:55 UTC 2024: ## Delhi High Court Demands Action Against Illegal Dog Breeders
**New Delhi, December 6, 2024** – The Delhi High Court has issued a summons to the city government, demanding a response regarding the proliferation of illegal dog breeding centers within the capital. The court’s action comes in response to a six-year-old petition seeking stricter control over these facilities.
The court also requested a status report on planned action against illegal pet shop owners. The government’s counsel assured the court that a 90-day registration process for pet shop owners is underway, promising enforcement of regulations and consequences for violations.
The case, marked by previous criticism of the city government’s animal husbandry department for inaction, highlights the increasing concern over rising dog bite incidents in Delhi. The next hearing is scheduled for May 7, 2025.
