New Delhi: The Delhi High Court has said stray dogs have the right to food and citizens have the right to feed them, however, in exercising this right care should be taken to avoid causing any nuisance to others.
While laying down guidelines regarding feeding stray dogs, the Delhi High Court also said every dog as a territorial being has to be fed and tended to at places within their territory, which is not frequented by the general public.
