Going to Dogs makes sense...!



No country has as many stray dogs as India and no country suffers as much from them. These free roaming dogs number in tens of millions, bite millions of people, young old and elderly. An estimated 20 thousands die of dog bites annually in India. The people killed by dog bites are more than people dying in terror attacks.  Stray dogs are endangering human life at every nook and corner of streets, roads, lanes by lanes, villages, towns and Metro cities across the length and breadth of this country However given the way national discourse is conducted in this country it is very difficult to even suggest that stray dogs roaming the streets constitute major problem that need to be addressed urgently.

Today even slightest mention of dog as a problem is enough to invite the wrath of dog lovers, animal rights activists, our liberal media and the likes of  Maneka Gandhi. Whatever the stray dogs do to hapless  human being and the citizens of this Republic of India, the law of this land is always on their side. They can bite, maul  and even kill but they can't be killed. In the tussle between human rights and animal rights it is the later that invariably prevail.

The dog lovers who encourage street dog breeding  should learn to put compassion for the safety of fellow human being before going over board in exhibiting their compassion for animals. Compassion towards stray dogs should not put human lives at risk. The safety and well being of the citizens should be the paramount priority of our civic administrators. Law protecting and allowing stray dogs to bark  and bite  at will the hapless human life does not serve justice to the citizens, We need to enforce a law that should ensure the  dog lovers adopt the stray dogs and not feed it at will and leave it on the streets to become threat to the human life.

 I am sure till the time we are free from the menace of stray dogs,  saying that Country is going to Dogs will make sense to that 1.3 billion human life
