Do you have a legal right to feed stray dogs in your neighborhood?

Yes. The Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI) guidelines, backed by various High Court rulings, state that citizens have a right to feed and show compassion to community dogs. Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) cannot legally ban, fine, or harass residents for doing so, provided the feeding doesn't cause a public nuisance.
