Hmm.... this might get ME killed
I have no problems with this. I think human life is more valuable than an animal's (no offence to Ryan, Agnel and other animal lovers).
Recently in Bangalore there was this incident of a small girl being mauled to death by dogs. In this case, the sterilisation programme wouldnt have helped. The dogs went mad on seeing her and mauled her to death.
A few days after that, another small boy was killed a few metres away from his house. In the same way.
And another few days later, 2 more kids were mauled...but managed to survive.
In today's paper itself I saw the headline "SI and girl mauled by dogs". I dont think anyone died though....
It is high time this was brought under control. The ABC (Animal Birth Control) programme has been going on for ages and does not seem to have any effect. There are way too many dogs and they are dangerous.
I say kill them (or take them to a pound or whatever....). Just get them off the streets.
Near my friends' house there is a pack of stray dogs which have terrified the neighbourhood. Her aunt came in an auto and was walking towards her house when the dogs started chasing her. She started running and fell down and the dogs pounced on her and she got many bites. Luckily, some residents came out and chased those dogs away. She also broke her hand when she fell.
Imagine yourself in that situation. The sheer terror of being attacked by stray dogs....
I think the problem here in India is that we dont have value for life. Life is very cheap.
See the way the Americans or Europeans treat death. The value of an American or European life is so much more than an Indian life...
