Go Spiritual Urges Compassionate Alternatives to Supreme Court’s Stray Dog Ruling in Delhi

New Delhi, India – August 13, 2025 – Go Spiritual, a leading charitable spiritual organization dedicated to promoting philanthropy, spiritual awareness, and animal welfare, today expressed deep concern over the Supreme Court of India’s recent ruling mandating the roundup and permanent detention of stray dogs in New Delhi. While recognizing the court’s efforts to address public safety amid rising incidents of dog attacks, Go Spiritual advocates for humane, non-violent solutions that align with India’s spiritual heritage of compassion and respect for all living beings.
The Supreme Court’s order, issued on Monday, calls for all stray dogs in the capital to be captured and housed in shelters within eight weeks, citing failures in existing Animal Birth Control (ABC) programs. This decision follows tragic cases, including the death of a 6-year-old girl from rabies in July. However, Go Spiritual warns that permanent detention without adequate resources could lead to animal suffering and contradicts principles of Ahimsa (non-violence).

“Our organization is rooted in the belief that all souls are interconnected, and kindness toward animals is essential for spiritual growth,” said Sonu Tyagi, Founder of Go Spiritual and Approach Entertainment. “We have long championed campaigns like ‘Go Vegetarian,’ which promotes compassion for all creatures and encourages a cruelty-free lifestyle. The court’s ruling risks disrupting this balance, and we urge authorities to prioritize sterilization, vaccination, and community-based care instead of mass displacement.”
Go Spiritual’s “Go Vegetarian” campaign, relaunched annually on World Vegetarian Day, has gained nationwide traction by encouraging people to adopt plant-based diets and foster empathy for animals. The organization has also condemned acts of cruelty, such as the recent goat sacrifice during the release of Jr NTR’s film Devara: Part 1, calling for stricter enforcement of animal protection laws. Additionally, Go Spiritual supports initiatives like food distribution programs for animals and welfare drives, drawing inspiration from spiritual leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and Swami Vivekananda—featured in their acclaimed web series Two Great Masters, available on MX Player & other platforms.
In response to the ruling, Go Spiritual calls on the Supreme Court, Delhi government, and stakeholders to:
- Enhance the ABC program with increased funding for humane sterilization and vaccination.
- Develop well-resourced shelters focused on rehabilitation rather than confinement.
- Launch awareness campaigns for responsible coexistence with strays.
- Collaborate with NGOs like Go Spiritual for community feeding and education programs, similar to West Bengal’s Paschim Banga Samagra Shiksha Mission, which teaches children kindness by feeding stray dogs.
“We stand ready to partner in creating sustainable solutions that protect both humans and animals,” Tyagi added. “True spirituality demands we treat stray dogs & all animals not as threats, but as beings deserving of dignity and care.”
