March 9, 2025 at 5:59 pmI live in Gurgaon as a tenant. It’s an independent apartment building, and this area doesn’t have a society. However there are some public parks.Me, and the other pet owners have been using the park to walk and exercise our dogs safely. I’ve been responsible with my access to the park, keeping my dog on leash when there are people, and cleaning up after my dog too. I don’t leave any kind of litter behind when leaving.
I did some homework and found out that I’m protected by the constitution and Supreme Court as a parent, and cannot be discriminited against by having my and my dog’s access removed from the park.
This evening when I was entering the park, I was stopped on the gate by a guy claiming to be a part of RWA, and ruidly told me that I can’t bring the dog there. I tried to reason, showed him that I carry a bag to clean up after the mess, but he wasn’t in any mood to listen or reason with, and outright claimed that I’m making the park dirty, and it’s meant for people, not dogs.
The guy was very rude from the start, and threatend me with police action and having my dog captured and picked by the municipality.
I am under the assumption that I cannot be barred from park access, and they cannot put up any board to say pets aren’t allowed. RWA however needs to come to a meaningful compromise by meeting midway, say like restricting hours for pet owners and asking owners to clean up after their pets, etc. But in no way can they deny us the access.
I’m thinking of carrying a printout of the laws that are around pet ownership and the discrimination against them, in an effort to reason.
I’ve written to AWBI, but I don’t know if I’ll hear from them or not.
1. What all can I do in this situation?
2. What can I do to avoid further harassment on walks?
3. My dog is docile, and I try to be a responsible citizen, even in regards to her. What else can I do? What are my options?
4. Am I in the wrong?I cannot walk her on roads because of some aggressive street dogs and speeding vehicles.

He and his son said the exact same words to me. Got a video recording of the incident and complained to his SHO the next morning. Got called in the evening for an apology from him.
Insects like these need to be put down asap. You let them grow wings and they’ll just fly above and shit on your head. Better to crush them with your boot heel before that’s the case.

March 10, 2025 at 1:32 amJust kill ur dog. Dogs are nuisance. Some random day it will bite someone and then u will just say sorry. Or better stay at home. All pet owners should be thrashed once in a while for the danger they put the society in.-

March 10, 2025 at 7:11 amShould I start with you instead of my dog? As a human, possibilities with you are endless, you can turn into a rapist, a murderer, maybe a scammer, an abusive husband, a vigilant lynch expert, or you can run someone down with your vehicle because you were on phone, texting instead of paying attention to your surrounding?You should have been aborted when the accident with your parents happened. Feel sorry for them little bro.
