Compassion. Conflict. Culling. Care.


Menace is a documentary that examines one of the most contested questions in contemporary Indian cities: how do we coexist with stray dogs? Set against recent judicial directions and everyday urban realities, the film moves beyond polarised debates to explore the moral, legal, and governance dimensions of the issue. Through voices from animal welfare practitioners, veterinarians, lawyers, municipal actors, adopters, and citizens, Menace traces the shift from historical practices of dog culling to the Animal Birth Control (ABC) framework, while questioning why humane policies often fail in implementation.


The screening will be followed by a moderated conversation bringing together perspectives from law, animal welfare, and civic practice. This programme invites audiences to engage with complexity, contradiction, and ethical choice: opening space for reflection on how cities negotiate care and safety without resorting to cruelty or neglect.


The screening will be followed by an interaction with the filmmaker.
