Wamiqa Gabbi defends stray dog rights.

Actor Wamiqa Gabbi has spoken up in light of the recent Supreme Court ruling on stray dogs in Delhi and NCR. The court has directed authorities to capture strays, place them in pounds, and prevent their release back into public spaces, a

move that has sparked fresh debate around animal rights and public safety in India.

Gabbi, who has rescued and rehabilitated several dogs at her Mumbai home, shared a heartfelt Independence Day post with her pets - Laila, Jugnu, Gabbar, Milie, Julie, and Fluky.

The actress wrote- "Say hello to my fellow Indian beings Laila, Jugnu, Gabbar, Milie, Julie and Fluky and few others I met randomly 🐶🇮🇳
These little souls once roamed the streets, searching for scraps and safety. Today, they are my family, my joy, and my

constant reminder of unconditional love."

She added, "On this 79th Independence Day, as we celebrate our nation’s freedom, I hope we also open our hearts to the freedom every living being deserves — the freedom to live without fear, with dignity, and with love. The truth is if the procedures around rehabilitation of stray dogs was methodical and far more organised we wouldn’t be going through such a polarising concern."

"This unfortunate stamp of “menace and nuisance” is not for them, it’s for us humans ! Let’s

celebrate not just our independence, but the independence of mind, body, and soul for these voiceless souls who give us so much, yet ask for so bare minimum “ compassion” !
India mein rehne vaale sab jaanwar kya Indians nahin hain?" concluded Wamiqa.
