Save our non-human buddies!

Petition addressed to: Institute authorities

This is about the recent notice to evict stray dogs from the IIT (ISM) Dhanbad campus. I truly believe that no decision can be justified when it is taken against the weak and the voiceless. Dogs are an integral part of our environment, even in an academic institution. Displacing them in the name of campus safety is both unjust and inhumane. With recent Supreme Court rulings being widely misinterpreted, these animals are increasingly being left to starve or subjected to cruelty by individuals who feel licensed to harm them. This situation calls for urgent compassion and responsible action, not displacement and neglect. This is heartbreaking. They did nothing to deserve such treatment. This is a heartfelt appeal to protect those who do not deserve such a fate. I request you to support this cause by signing the petition opposing the new circular on the eviction of stray dogs from the campus.
While the issue of dog bites must certainly be addressed, eviction is not the solution. A more humane and sustainable approach—through sterilization, vaccination, and coexistence, is necessary. Many of us have grown attached to these dogs. Their presence has brought comfort, calm, and even emotional support to students and staff. Taking them away will only create fear and distress, not safety.
Please choose empathy over fear. Let us protect both people and animals, and not turn our campus into a place of suffering for those who already have so little.
