Should stray dogs be killed or not?

How is brutally killing stray dogs any different from mass genocides of humans? Most of us don't even stop for a moment to think that even the animals deserve to live. That they have a family, friends and they need food to survive. I so much hate watching a human-like-lowlife kick a dog for nothing. Looks like we lost our humanity long ago. Even in the past, dogs were considered our best friends and were treated like one all over the World.

I would kill a human to save a dog. Enough said!

I was just watching DD news yesterday where they reported how dogs in some places are trained within 8 weeks to help the disabled people. The people on wheelchairs, the blinds etc all were being helped by the dogs. The dogs helped them to goto the malls, to select the commodity of their choice, to pick up the things, to cross the traffic, even to type a few keywords on the computer...and then I pondered how true this is that dogs r called man's best friends!
You cannot completely trust even your most loyal servant or totally rely on someone close to do the things for u that much!

Its a really shameful act by Karnataka government! Instead of killing, they also cud have done something similar like training the dogs! If they r in plenty then use it as an advantage why think negetive?
After all if they(govt) can cure pakis for "free" (instead of Indians) with money of the Indian people, then training dogs IMHO will cost them much less and will really help the old people too!

Well said and you too yamaraj.

Also dogs has started helping older people to go to a atm counter and pick up cash. It came on times of india.

Nobody has the right to decide who lives and who dies
The dogs should have been medically treated and sterilised
I don't know when will our govt learn to respect animals

 

[runeet]

are u for real here the government cant even take care of people, & u are taling about dogs, what is a dogs lifes value for a money grabbing good for nothing - except for cleaning the gutters- politicians are going to have.

this should be the right move indeed.......

but sterilization costs a heck lot...........

Yo, just do it once a year, & you got free watch dog for your colony. All you need to do is to feed them the left over of your home, burgers etc. Thats it. It's better then a human for security.

The indian government can spend billons on money of defence. Money also go in to their pockets. How much do sterilization cost?. Do not tell me the government does not have money.

 

[sysfilez]

i really cant be a judge here and say wat 2 do and wat not to do. but surely these stray dogs create a mess, we have a whole lot of them in our locality and they **** all over the place, infront or ur main entrance, sometimes wen u r in a hurry, u can step on that ****. aww. the corp. dog catchers come and they get them wonder wat they do with them.

Atleast they r still better then alcoholics who leave their families behind and lose everything in casinos and then come out on streets to show their begging skills! These alcoholics r nuthing but useless pieces of flesh on earth who fill misery all around! I doubt if they can even clean the gutters.
And if the government can't take care of such things then they dont have any rights to govern further. Let some other party manage that department.

but sterilization costs a heck lot...........

U shud visit any government hospitals like LHMC,MAMC etc and see for urself how many pakis r getting themselves cured for "free". That is Indian money spent on them, that shud have been used for Indians. WE r not paying taxes to get pakis cured!! On one hand they wanna destroy India and on other want get themselves healed by India n that too for "free".

SO, sterilization of those dogs can in turn help us. They can be trained and made to help the disabled and the old people!

if the govt. is corrupt then what about the NGO's that charge BMP Rs.700 per dog for neutering them. if the dogs are neutered how come there are new cubs everywhere or have the dogs found out a new way of "continuing their population"

Why do stray dogs exist in India? Why don’t you find them in London and New York?

Note that in the USA, PETA __DOES NOT__ allow dogs to roam the streets, proliferate like flies, & become a potential threat to people. They are picked up, taken to dog-pounds where they are medicated & held out for adoption. And those dogs which are either diseased, or don't get adopted, ARE KILLED . THEIR roads & localities are TOTALLY free of stray dogs. why has PETA reversed its policy in India?

 

[goobimama]

^^^ NGOs charge for private sterilization to 'help' fund their organisation. Cause no one is going to pay for the stray dogs. In Goa, most of the stray dogs are sterilized, due to work by organizations who have taken this up. The only reason why they keep coming back on the streets is because people dont' take the trouble to sterilize their own private dogs.

These private one's litter, and the pups are left on the streets.

Cannot blame the government for everything, they are doing quite a bit already. Its the people who need to change.

Don't compare the USA with India, cause the two are on totally different wavelengths. USA is a developed country while India is still trying to get there. And just because the USA kills their dogs, does not mean that India has to do the same.

USA goes about bombing weaker countries, doesn't mean we have to do the same...

sorry guys but i havnt gone thru the entire thread but all i will tell the people who are against stray dog killings and those who are for ...

a mutual solution is that all stray dogs be sent to the houses of meneka gandhi and the ppl who are against stray dog killing

both sides happy:

no need to kill as "humans" will take care of their beloved precious stray dogs and the dogs wont be troubling the 1s who are for dog killing

fair enough??

 

[goobimama]

Not fair enough. Maneka Gandhi is not the cause of stray dogs so why should she have to put up with them at her place. All that animal rights activists are saying is that it is wrong and illegal to kill stray dogs. That's it. No killing stray dogs. And the Supreme court of India feels the same way.

Now as a favour, they are willing to carry out some operations like sterilization and whatever else they can do. As a favour. They are in no way responsible for any of this mess.

 

[esumitkumar]

I read all the thread ...thr is no use of discussing this on the forum..

discussions discussions discussions.thats what we all do...whether its Anti reservation or Dogs issue or corrupt govt or Growing population or Terrorism or Bad infrastructure or anything

Govt will do whatever it wants....

We are the silent watchers and we will remain only discussing...until that very thing affects us directly

 

[mediator]

Govt will do whatever it wants....

We are the silent watchers

But we r the future. Who knows many of us may join politics tomorrow! Until then I guess we can only discuss and sort out the differences so that they dont persist in the future. Neways if u had seen the reservation protest, then u wudn't have said the same. I'm just happy that students didn't go violent!

And the government can't just keep on doing wateva they want, atleast not if they want the leadership for the next tenure!

 

[Shasanka_Gogoi]

Being an animal lover, I oppose it strongly!

 

[phreak0ut]

I love dogs too, but people who have been through the trauma of sleepless nights due to incessant barking, chased by the dogs and bitten know what its like. Sterilization, yeah right. I don't see how it has helped, just eye wash.

These private one's litter, and the pups are left on the streets.

NO! You are mistaken!
