Episode 21 | India doesn’t have a stray dog problem - It has a CRUELTY problem

In this episode of Drop the Filter, we sit down with Ashleen Kaur, an animal welfare advocate and the founder of For Paws Sake, to talk about the realities behind India’s so-called “stray dog problem.” Ashleen breaks down the recent Supreme Court judgment, the gaps between laws and real-world implementation, and why the issue isn’t stray dogs it’s systemic cruelty, irresponsible breeding, and lack of accountability. She sheds light on how breeding deeply exploits both female and male dogs, the failures around sterilisation and vaccination, and why weak penalties for animal abuse allow the cycle to continue. We also dive into the adoption process in India, how NGOs actually work, how to identify trustworthy rescues, and why adopting is always better than buying. Ashleen doesn’t hold back as she calls out the culture of breeders and even influencers who promote buying dogs, despite the harm it causes to voiceless animals. This conversation is honest, uncomfortable, and necessary a reminder that India doesn’t have a stray dog problem, it has a human responsibility problem.
