ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court has mandated a comprehensive regulatory framework to improve conditions at the Capital Development Authority\u2019s Stray Dog Population Control Center in Tarlai.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This decision came after a public interest case highlighted severe neglect, abuse, and mismanagement at the facility.<\/p>\n

Many stray dogs suffered from starvation, illness, and lack of medical care, resulting in numerous deaths.<\/p>\n

Court Directives and Humane Management<\/strong><\/p>\n

The court directed CDA and federal authorities to develop a humane, science-based policy addressing rabies vaccination, licensing, shelter standards, and veterinary care.<\/p>\n

There is also the possibility of halting operations at the Tarlai center until proper regulations are in place.<\/p>\n

This is the first formal effort in Islamabad to implement the internationally recognized Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Release (TNVR) method for stray dog control.<\/p>\n

Community Advocacy and Public Health Concerns<\/strong><\/p>\n

The case drew wide public support from veterinarians, activists, students, and animal welfare organizations documenting abuses and pushing for reform.<\/p>\n

The facility has also been flagged as a public health hazard due to unhygienic conditions and risk of zoonotic diseases.<\/p>\n

This court ruling marks a major victory for animal rights and promises a safer, more compassionate approach to stray dog management in Islamabad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
