Supreme Court washed their hands of the matter: Maneka Gandhi on stray-dog issue

In an exclusive interview with India Today, former Union Minister Maneka Gandhi lashed out at the Supreme Court over its order allowing euthanasia for rabid, incurably ill or demonstrably dangerous stray dogs. 

Reacting to the Supreme Court's order on stray dogs, Maneka Gandhi said, "The Supreme Court has actually manoed (accepted) defeat, and they've washed their hands of the matter. In November, they had ordered that. They had ordered five things. They had said, "Make ABC centers," that means dog sterilisation centers, "make shelters, and remove dogs from four areas: hospitals, railway stations, colleges, and bus stops." Now, in seven months, even after they called a special meeting of the chief secretaries, not a single government, state or municipality, has done even one, one thing. Not even one thing. Fifty-four thousand colleges have refused to remove the dogs because they said there's nowhere to put them. Not a single shelter has been made. Not a single ABC center has been made. In fact, in Delhi, there were twenty ABC centers. They've now become ten. So, the Supreme Court has finally understood that what it said was extremely impractical."
