*Article 51-A (g) states - " It shall be duty of every citizen of India to protect & improve the natural environment including forests, lakes, rivers and wildlife and to have compassion for living creatures." So the animal lover is protected under the Constitution.

*Article 19 of the Constitution of India, deals with right to freedom and in this freedom comes the right to profession, occupation, trade and business which means that if someone has taken the caring of animals as his occupation, it is legal and he has every right to carry on with his occupation.

*Article 21 of the Constitution of India states the right to personal life and liberty. If someone wants to feed and provide shelter to dogs, he is at liberty to do so. He has the same right to liberty that the law provides to every citizen of India.

LAST but not the least, please follow your society rules. It is your responsibility to get your society cats and dogs neutered if you love and feed them. Municipalities will not dream that you have unsterilized animals. They will multiply and become a nuisance then all of you will call AWO this one that one to fight.  Do your job at the right time.  Feed in a designated spot.  We are few in number, so try to keep your society and animal haters on your good side.  Bend if you have to for the SAKE OF THE ANIMALS.  You are compassionate to the animals, let that win them over too.  Ask them for a solution and take it forward positively to make it look like they are in control.  You gotta try. No hostility and bad words and cursing fighting will get you anywhere.  People will turn around.  Try try and try to win them over cause remember you are doing it for the sake of the animals.  Good Luck.
