J Mehta: As far as institutions are concerned, they are not streets. Why do you need dogs in court premises, schools? what are we discussing?

Sibal: If you put all these dogs in shelters without following rules...

J Mehta: Rules say they have to be released back in same area. Then how will the institutions be dogs-free? Should they be released on streets?

Sibal: Dog population is not eliminated in this fashion. If one dog goes, another comes in its place. If you follow scientific model, they will be eliminated in a decade. They only live 10 years. It has been successful in the past. Man-dog conflict increases in areas where street dogs are removed, killed. Our children and people have to be protected but solution should not increase the risk.
