After stray dogs, time to address feral crisis

The recent Supreme Court ruling on stray dogs in Delhi was, no doubt, flawed.

Yet, it should push us to ask a question that stands eclipsed: what about feral dogs in the wilderness?

I am not talking of the dhole, a wild dog, but actual mixed-breeds who can be found in the desert, wetlands, high altitudes, grasslands — almost anywhere.

Dogs living in the wilderness require an entirely different lens. They are not stray dogs living in urban India, although there could well be spillovers from urban populations.
