BULLSHIT. BULLSHIT. BULLSHIT - So am I
1. Intentionally or unintentionally, drawing parallels between dogs with rape victims? No comments.
2. God's beautiful creatures? - Yes. Everything is - mostly. But, nature has its own balance if you leave it alone. Human civilizations only work towards disturbing that nature. None complains about having more wild buffaloes, elephants, deer, or anything in an untouched wildlife zone. Because, nature has this ruthless attitude - Only the best survives. Just telling you, few breeds eat their own babies if they think that a particular baby is not strong enough. If a human does this - they are called murderers - not in the animal world though.
3. Dog bites give rabies - Nope. Only a rabies infected dog bite / transfer of its saliva can give you rabies.
4. Most humans do not die because they get infected of rabies during dog bites/attacks - mostly they succumb to the injuries.
5. You don't like that idea - So? Nothing happens One need not like the idea. If you don't like that, let us better adopt them. Responsibilities should come ahead of emotions -
absolutely my POV. Yes. Everyone has a right to exercise their 'Right to Freedom', but how many actually care about it - a question only you can answer to yourself.
6. Social Media Justice - I just do not want to use profanity - but this Social Media Justice - Running Signature Campaigns - fuels PR stuff, better ranking for Google Ads, like/shares/comments/whatever rot - Does not change anything. You can quote numerous cases. Fact is - it does very little / nothing, in the eyes of the law. Rather than that, maybe spending the same time outside - just to clean up the surroundings is a million times greater deed - it ensures no diseases are spread - dogs stay healthier - it is a bonus
7. People do not address the key problem:
a. Why do dogs bite - Lack of food, over population, territorial clashes. These Big 3 push a dog into overdrive mode - just like when a user whom you like does not respond to you and still exist, you might get a little mad. That can push you over the edge - like being rude 2 others, throwing some spam, and everything else that you may not do when you are in your sane mind. To add, even lack of bitches - female dogs - less access to copulation - hormonal imbalance, can push the dog. In fact, bitches - female dogs, often attack more.
b. Weather - Weather is another culprit that hides behind the clouds. You put yourself outside on a scorching summer day for 2-3 hours, come home and let your better-bitter half / parent / sibling / friend throw a prank at you. 65/100 times you might get mad at that. With lots of humans roaming around, assholes who just honk because they have one, and some creeps who threaten animals - dogs do get mad to a great extent, especially in summers. And their violent ratio can be around 35/100 - much better than humans
for me.
8. Feeding stray dogs - The biggest mistake one can do possibly. Dogs are scavengers - without a doubt. The moment you are feeding a dog, you are creating a territory - a place for a pack to grow - a food promise means you are telling the dog 'mate come here when you are hungry / you get food here to cover your hunger'. A big big mistake - in rational and logical sense. Something one should start thinking for themselves the next time. If you really want dogs to be healthy - forget dogs, just a dog - get it sterilized and vaccinated, give it a collar, do not raise in the house - at least let it be in your street. Keep an eye on it. That's enough - you have done a great job. Water bowls are always welcomed.
9. Now comes another aspect - Who the fun gave you the rights to take away carnal pleasures aka sexual pleasures by sterilizing them? It is good that they get sterilized - they can still have sex - fulfil their sexual desires - and they will be healthy too. Because? They need not bare kids. Yes, bearing kids is very toiling process physically - mothers know it well, and so does who have interest in science.
10. Human Children - Most of them suck in their behavior towards animals - undoubtedly. It is not their fault - absolutely. The parents/guardians should inculcate passion, love, and respect - you read it right, animals need to be respected for who they are - towards animals. Most kids between ages 4 - 12 have this notorious habit of throwing stones, making faces, and showing actions - often the triggers in most cases depicting animal behavior. Worst part - in the name of pets, animals get ill-treated if one of the parent/child does not like the pet in the house. Some treat pets - especially dogs, as if they are toys and hugging machines. Go and hug a WILD BEAR - you will get a bear hug - once for life.
While I respect the idea of putting human life ahead of an animal - Aham Brahmasmi jumps into the context. Again, I support your cause - Dharma asks us to act with balance - with a bhava (intention).
11. Animals bite, so do humans - Yes. Bite is metaphorical in humans case. Can we remove all the creeps out from there? Yes, we do. But only after they are proven guilty by putting them in jails. Even there, these human criminals have rights - you also have Human Right Commission like setups for the same. But for dogs? This is the big picture. Something people should address. Dogs are being thrown out because:
a. Govt. cannot promise they wont bite
b. Govt. cannot promise they wont spread infections
c. Govt. failed to control population.
But reading the previous points surely tells even a common citizen is a part of the crime. Why dump wastes on the roads that can spread infections, leading dogs to be the vectors - that carry infections.
People only look at solutions that offer immediate fixes and control public uproar. They hate understanding problems, they hate acknowledging they too contributed for the mess, and above all, who the Fuck cares? It is just a dog. So be it. Let us (include me) rant on social media, chat sites, forums, and everywhere. Next day, a new girl/guy, new work, new call, old love, same partner, new route - whatever - let us move on - most of us do.
12. Dogs can be effected emotionally - Change of place, change of friends, change of their daily interactions really have deep long term emotional affect on a dog. Without a doubt. Fact is, dogs have to be taken away from a place - dharma and bhava come into the play- especially if it is threatening so called humans. But how this is being rolled out is what matters. People should chip in, give ideas, write down letters to the Chief Justice - a real physical letter - it still has a value. At least, come together, discuss, surely people can evolve at better thoughts.
I am doing what I can. Hoping that you also would do - if it really matters to you. I often don't tag people in my status or posts, but I am doing here. I want people to discuss - not for visibility - but to ensure you do really should understand the
plight of a dog!
