More than 50,000 citizens across India, including nearly 10,000 from Delhi, posted handwritten letters to the Supreme Court on Saturday (November 29, 2025), urging it to reconsider its November 7 order directing authorities to remove community dogs from institutional areas, the organisers said in a release.
This was part of a nationwide letter petition campaign urging citizens to write to the apex court in support of animal rights and human experience, it said.

The organisers said that they had asked people across the country to visit their nearest post office on November 29 and mail a letter to the Chief Justice of India seeking a stay, recall and reconsideration of the order.
The citizen-driven initiative was led by animal welfare activist Ambika Shukla, the release said.
