Ram Gopal Varma DEFENDS Supreme Court's stray dog order; pens series of tweets: 'Humans come first...'

The Supreme Court’s decision to relocate all stray dogs in the Delhi-NCR region to shelters has set off a heated debate. While many Bollywood celebrities and animal lovers have strongly opposed the move, filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has stepped in with a different take.

Taking to X ,her penned a series of posts explaining his stance.

RGV says humans must come before all other species

The ‘Sarkar’ director firmly defended the court’s decision. He wrote, “From a human beings perspective , humans come first, and like all living beings they have a right to defend themselves from any other species who pose a danger to them , be it mosquitoes or dogs ..And what I don’t understand about the so called animal lovers is , why is their love so selectively discriminate ? instead of restricting to dogs ,why don’t they equally love all God created creatures like rats, caterpillars , cockroaches and even CORONAVIRUS ?” (sic)

Calls out animal lovers for discrimination

He then turned his focus towards what he sees as hypocrisy. Varma posted, “Hey Animal Lovers , Chicken and fish are living beings too no ? So how come you kill . cut , cook and eat them ? All I am asking is why this discrimination between god created creatures ? It echoes how humans discriminate between caste , religion , colour etc .. How is it the caterpillars fault if God created it ugly ? If you are true to your love , you should replace your exotic dogs and gold fish with lizards, mosquitoes , lice , termites , maggots etc”

Describes dogs as instinctively loyal, not special

In another observation, he wrote, “A dog is loyal only because it doesn’t know how to be disloyal … and I say to all the radical dog lovers out there , when you say “ Dogs are better than humans “ it’s a comment on the particular humans around you , and not really on your particular dogs”

Stray dogs on streets seen as a threat says RGV

He then underlined the risks of stray dogs in public spaces. He shared, “Bottom line is anybody can love any god created creature whether it’s a human , dog, cat , mosquito ,rat , corona virus etc as long as they are in their home , but here we are talking about stray dogs killing children on streets”

Tells dog lovers to target politicians instead

Varma further said, “And if the dog lovers are blaming the government administrators , they should go and bite the officers and politicians on their legs and also various other parts of their bodies for them to speed up on solutions .. But meanwhile they should think of the poor kids who are being brutally killed by street stray dogs”

Recalls a school poem

Varma then questioned one of the most popular school verses. He wrote, “With regard to the great poem we have all been taught at school. ‘All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all.’ dint take into accounts of cockroaches who contaminate ,rats who spread plague , snakes which inject poison , mosquitoes which create diseases and stray dogs who kill children”
