Legendary director Ram Gopal Varma has been highly active and reactive on social media from a long time. He had been silent about Dog Lovers protest against Supreme Court’s order to remove Stray Dogs from Delhi streets. This has resulted in huge protest on Delhi roads against Supreme Orders. Now, he started his campaign against them with videos of strays attacking four year olds and small children.
He started sharing videos of the dog attacks on children and the death of youngsters due to the attacks. He wrote a long note on X and blamed for lack of compassion towards young children. He stated that they are trying to talk for dogs but they lack any sort of regard for justice. They are just crying foul without understanding issue.
He called out rich people who love to grow dogs are unable to see the real problem with compassion. He remarked that Poor should not pay with their blood for rich people’s love for their pedigreed pets. He called it as “sentimental indulgence of rich”.

All you Dog lovers are shouting hoarse about injustice to dogs regarding the Supreme Court’s order. But where were they when a four-year-old child was brutally killed in broad daylight on the streets ..Likewise thousands get attacked every year.
Where was your compassion then? Or is compassion reserved only for those with wagging tails while dead children don’t count? And yes, there is nothing wrong with loving dogs. I love them too. But love your dogs in your own homes, in your luxury bungalows , in your manicured lawns. Love your imported Labradors, your pedigreed Huskies, your high-breed pets bought from breeders and hire staff to look after them.
But the truth is this: the dog menace does not exist in your lavish villas. It prowls in the streets and slums. It stalks the alleys where the poor live, where children play barefoot, where no gates or fences protect them. While the privileged stroke their glossy pets, the powerless are left to tend to the wounded and bury their loved ones.
You talk about dog rights. Fine. But what about the child’s rights? The right to live. The right of his parents to see him grow. Do those rights vanish because you love dogs ? Do those rights matter less than your Instagram photos of you cuddling your own pedigreed pets?
Here is the truth you don’t want to hear: compassion without balance is injustice . If you truly love dogs, then adopt them, feed them, and protect them in your secure homes. Or force the government to come up with solutions . But don’t burden the streets with your love , where it turns into the death of someone else’s child.
The poor should not pay with their blood for the sentimental indulgence of the rich. And realise this truth that a society that values the life of a stray dog over the life of a child has already lost its humanity.”
Well, the director does have a point to make and he is making it a point with the videos and campaigning hard against animal activits and lovers protest. He is continuously tweeting about the matter with videos and also wrote 10 points he wanted to make.
