Racial discrimination of animals: Dog vs monkeys. Finances?

In an horrifying and frightening incident, mauled and hunted two siblings, aged 7 & 5, killed in stray dog attack in Delhi's Vasant Kunj NEW DELHI: Two siblings, aged seven and five, were killed allegedly in stray dog attack in two separate incidents in the Vasant Kunj area of Delhi. The police said that the 7-year-old boy went missing on March 10 and his body was recovered later with animal bite like injuries. They needed some shield to protect himself which society, government, courts and so called “dog-lovers” failed to provide. Courts have also upheld animal rights but failed to formulate and implement policies to ensure safety of humans from these violent strays. Government has not made out any policy to safeguard public from such attacks nor have courts come up with any solid guidelines, which can save public, children, women and older people from such bites. Danger of stray dogs is increasing every day around us. As the strays population in increasing, now they are grouped and see vulnerable humans as easy prey. Packs of dogs have become dangerous and difficult to control. Protected by Dog lovers and animal right laws, the danger to normal people of being hunted even around their homes is real. Human right of being in a safe environment is being ignored. Is it not hypocritical that you care for a violent stray that is a threat to the society? Problem is not about loving and feeding dogs, but simultaneous

          The paradox – ‘if they have such exuding love for stray dogs- why such love and compassion cannot be extended to other animals?’

                A very strange paradox exists, when the situation boils down to animal love. Very recently Supreme court passed a very desirable verdict about rehabilitation of street dogs.  Such an order is of great necessity to common man, when  children playing in streets are being mauled, attacked and bitten every day. Hundreds dying because of rabies and dog bites. The silent killer still remains the infective nature of dog faeces, which pollutes underground water, environment and air with pathogenic bacteria.

 Till now Courts have also upheld animal rights but failed to formulate and implement policies to ensure safety of humans from these violent strays. Government has not made out any policy to safeguard public from such attacks nor have courts come up with any solid guidelines, which can save public, children, women and older people from such bites.

        After the court verdict, a hue and cry are raised by a breed of ‘Dog Lovers’. This section has not taken any responsibility for the inconvenience to public and death of children due to dog bites, but they have forced the court to review decision.  These are people who in reality are unaffected by stray animals because they are celebrities and often self-congratulate themselves for projecting themselves as animal lovers.

           Now the question about the paradox starts- ‘if they have such exuding love for stray dogs, why such love and compassion cannot be extended to other animals?’

     Billions of chicken are slaughtered every second.

     Billions of goats, cattle and lambs are killed mercilessly every minute.

     Everyday millions of pigs are killed, and various dish are prepared.

      Fish (not countable) are caught and usually gasps – very cruel for a while before being killed.

   Leather is collected from animal skin—very cruel

    Even monkeys are caught and relocated- no court has stopped it.

  It is difficult to understand this kind of differential love for stray dogs. If relocation of stray dogs is cruelty, then killing all other animals is bigger one because none of animals are actually doing any harm. They all are being held for financial reasons. 

  So clearly, we need to look at the financial implication and output of all these animals.

  Chicken  are killed and they make a big business.

 Goats, lamb, pigs and cattle again give good money when they are raised and killed for meat.

Stray dogs produce financial   output only when they bite.  Anti rabies serum is used and is expensive. It will be good to compare data of use of Anti Rabies Serum in India and other countries.  It can contribute to pharma-industry in some manner.

      Court can also have data on this issue, if they take the financial factor into consideration.

Basic question still remains the same-

  1. If it is animal love- why only stray dogs?  Why others are being slaughtered? Why this kind of racial discrimination is being done. Surely it is not animal love.
  2. What are financial benefits of having huge population of stary dogs in the community? The dogs which are mauling children, biting common people and hunt in packs in residential areas.

Hope court take a decision and keep other animals in mind while deciding on love for stray dogs.

SUGGESTION: the Government, NGOs and people who claim to be “animal lovers” should create shelters to save strays “as well as people”. It should be mandatory that all the dog and animal (stray or pet) droppings are properly collected and disposed of. This single step can do wonders as it will reduce infections, people’s suffering, save lives and eventually reduce use of antibiotics. A rationale mind will appreciate the danger due to strays and can initiate proper steps rather criticizing above said facts in the name of animal rights. An animal has no sense of responsibility, so rights should be limited accordingly.

4-year-old mauled to death by stray dogs in Amberpet

HYDERABAD: In yet another gruesome incident of its kind in Hyderabad, a four-year-old boy was mauled and killed by stray dogs in Amberpet area. Although the attack happened on Sunday, it came to light on Tuesday after CCTV footage of the dogs surrounding the boy and not letting him escape went viral. In the past year alone, the government-run fever hospital in the city has seen at least four cases of people dying after contracting rabies from dog bites. Toddlers have been killed by strays in various parts of the state. According to data submitted in Parliament, Telangana reported about 80,000 cases of dog bite last year. Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) officials said the victim, Pradeep, accompanied his father K Gangadhar, a security guard at a car service centre, to his workplace on Sunday. The dogs attacked the boy while he was playing by himself. The 1:07-minute CCTV footage shows the child walking alone in the parking area of the service centre and three dogs rushing towards him. The boy, surrounded by the aggressive canines, looked scared and tried to run away. Soon, a dog pounced on him from the rear, resulting in him falling to the ground. The child gathered himself, got up on his feet and tried to escape, but the dogs attacked him again. Within seconds, all three canines began mauling him. The dogs tried to pull him away in different directions even as three other sub-adult dogs tried to join them. CCTV footage shows that the boy tried to fend off the attack, but gave up after being surrounded by the strays. A few seconds later, as the boy lay limp, the dogs tried dragging him away. Gangadhar, along with other staff members, rushed in and chased away the dogs. They rushed the boy to a hospital, but he succumbed to his injuries on the way and doctors pronounced him dead on arrival. Officials said the boy was carrying food in one hand, which might have attracted the dogs.

An immediate sense of hatred towards such dog lovers is a consequence and a natural thought.

Animal lovers while pretending of “dog love” have formed NGOs and have donations and accumulate money. But have failed to create shelters for stray dogs. Neither have any steps been taken to save people from dog bites. So consequently, people especially vulnerable are children and older people who are mauled and eaten alive by stray dogs. What responsibility and accountability these animal lovers and NGO bear towards such incidents? Why people who collect money in name of animals do not take care and form shelters for these strays? every single death from such preventable cause raise a question on this issue.

An Urban Jungle: where animals hunt Humans


Danger of stray dogs is increasing every day around us. As the strays population in increasing, now they are grouped and see vulnerable humans as easy prey. Packs of dogs have become dangerous and difficult to control. Protected by Dog lovers and animal right laws, the danger to normal people of being hunted even around their homes is real. Human right of being in a safe environment is being ignored. Is it not hypocritical that you care for a violent stray who is a threat to the society? Problem is not about loving and feeding dogs, but simultaneous apathy towards safety of humans. Such dog lovers most of the time, totally ignore the fact that these dogs are a threat to children and older people. An immediate sense of hatred towards such dog lovers is a consequence and a natural thought.

Just one of uncountable examples. An 80-year-old woman was attacked by stray dogs while she was going to a temple in Ludhiana city on Tuesday. She was admitted to DMC Hospital for treatment. Residents claimed that a group of 15-20 stray dogs has created terror in the area. The pack of dogs often attacks people including children. The said despite their repeated complaints to the authorities they have not got any kind of relief from this problem.

It is not uncommon dogs chasing children and older people. In a recent incident and a common one , the loud barking sounds were intermixed with cries of a child, who was running and screaming for his life. Two stray dogs were near him, trying to hunt him as a prey. As they got nearer to him, I somehow managed to get some stick from a plant and managed to save the child and shoo away the dogs. The nine year old child just clung to me, almost pale, dizzy and his eyes closed with fear. His football was in his lap, which he was trying to use as shield. A shield which society, government, courts and so called “dog-lovers” failed to provide. This child must be the life for his parents and could have been in a great trouble that day because of apathy of few “Animal Lovers”. For whom animal love is like a hobby to be projected for hollow public applause. I looked around, a gentleman was comfortably sitting with his small dog and reading newspaper. He did not even bother to look at what was happening. He was the person, who used to feed these stray dogs and claimed himself to be a “Dog lover”. He was totally unperturbed by the fact that a child was about to lose his life because of these wolf like dogs roaming freely. Similar apathy has been displayed by government and courts with a result that thousand suffer from dog bite every day.

Apart from the injury part, Rabies is a disease spread by dog bite, which is not treatable. Getting anti-Rabies serum becomes another Herculean task.

Courts have also upheld animal rights. That is right but they did not formulate policies to ensure safety of humans from these violent strays.

Government has not made out any policy to safeguard public from such attacks nor have courts come up with any solid guidelines, which can save public, children, women and older people from such bites.

Animal lovers while pretending of “dog love” have formed NGOs and have donations and accumulate money. But have failed to create shelters for stray dogs.

Why people who collect money in name of animals do not take care and form shelters for these strays? every single death from such preventable cause raise a question on this issue.

Apathy of these so called dog lovers towards humans is appalling.

Besides dog bite and injuries, animal and dog poop is an health hazard. Following are the diseases which occur in community because of animal poop.

Problem of animal poop with dust : It is all around us. It is actually even a bigger health problem than open defecation by humans. Humans defecate in country side and in open fields. But stray animals and dogs are everywhere. Even owner of pet dogs make them defecate outside their own houses and on the roads and wherever their dogs chooses. This poop dried and mixed with dust, acts a source of infection to the community.

Life threatening infections : dog’s and animal faeces is a big health hazard. It is even worse than a dog bite since it spreads infection in entire community. A dog’s digestive system can handle just about anything that it eats and this makes its poop very toxic. Animal faeces contain pathogens, which are known to cause severe diseases, infections and organ failure. These heavy loads of bacteria increase the risk of infections in the community. But pregnant women, children and people with suppressed immune systems may are more prone to these infections. Many diseases may be spread by millions of these dogs and other animals like pigs, cattle as their faeces contain parasites, bacteria and viruses. These include life threatening bacterial infections by E. coli, MRSA, Leptospira, Salmonellosis, Campylobacteriosis, brucellosis, Rickettsia and parasitic infections like Giardiasis, Whipworm, Hookworm, Roundworms, Tapeworms, Cryptosporidiosis, Echinococcosis, Leishmaniasis etc. Viral infections like rabies, influenza and other viruses may also spread through these animals.

Environmental health Hazard: Storm water runoff due to extensive rainfall can wash off all these droppings into drains, many of which are connected to river systems and water sources in our country. This can lead to a widespread source of waterborne illnesses. Dry poop on the roads is mixed with dust particles and in the air. So everyone is living in a highly infectious environment. This may be an important cause of high rates of community acquired infections among our population.

SUGGESTION: the Government, NGOs and people who claim to be “animal lovers” should create shelters to save strays “as well as people”. It should be mandatory that all the dog and animal (stray or pet) droppings are properly collected and disposed off. This single step can do wonders as it will reduce infections, people’s suffering, save lives and eventually reduce use of antibiotics. A rationale mind will definitely appreciate the danger due to strays, and can initiate proper steps rather criticizing above said facts in the name of animal rights. An animal has no sense of responsibility, so rights should be limited accordingly.

1,000 people at Delhi’s RML Hospital for anti-rabies shot in a day #dogbite#straydogs


Until last year, Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) hospital used to get around 200 patients daily for anti-rabies vaccination. This number has grown manifold over the last six months and on Monday it crossed 1,000. Hospital authorities blamed the unavailability of anti-rabies vaccine at state and municipal corporation-run hospitals for this surge and said if the vaccine wasn’t made availabile at all centres soon, it could lead to a fullblown crisis

“There is a limit to how much we can stretch our resources,” said Dr V K Tiwary, the medical superintendent of RML hospital. At Safdarjung hospital also, which is run by the Centre, officials said there has been significant increase in the rush of patients for the vaccination. Anti-rabies vaccine is needed to prevent the development of disease in persons who have been bitten by an infected animal, The first dose of anti-rabies vaccine has to be injected within 24 hours of the bite — the sooner the better. However, people who had queued up at RML on Monday said they had been running from one hospital to the other in search of the vaccine but to no avail. “I went to two government hospitals in east Delhi. Both said they didn’t have the vaccine. I cannot afford private treatment,” said Kavita Singh, a resident of Mandavali, east Delhi. While government hospitals give anti-rabies vaccine for free, it costs nearly Rs 1,500 for five jabs at private facilities. For patients with severe and deep bite, the administration of anti-rabies serum is required in addition to the vaccines, which costs above Rs 2,000. Authorities in at least two big state-run hospitals — Guru Tegh Bahadur (GTB) in East Delhi and Lok Nayak in central Delhi — confirmed the crisis. “For the last two weeks, there is no anti-rabies vaccine in our hospital,” Dr Arvind Mohan, deputy medical superintendent of Lok Nayak hospital said. He claimed the shortage is from supply side itself. “The vaccine shortage has been there for almost six months but we were managing things by making local purchase initially. Now, even the local suppliers have given up,” Dr Mohan said. Dr Sunil Kumar, medical director of GTB hospital also confirmed they are also running short of anti-rabies vaccines. “We are issuing tenders to purchase the vaccine,” he said. There is no anti-rabies vaccine at municipal hospitals either, senior civic agency officials from both the north and the south corporation confirmed. “The government manufacturer is not supplying the vaccine from last few months due to nonavailability. Patients are either being told to purchase it privately or being referred to other hospitals,” said an official ,Delhi, as per the last annual report of all municipal corporations combined, had witnessed over 27,407 dog bite cases from February 2018 to February 2019. South Delhi was worst affected. Real numbers are expected to be much higher as the figures do not include patients that go to private clinic or hospitals that are not bound to report, said a source. In April, Safdarjung hospital had stopped accepting new cases of dog-bite due to the rush. “Situation has improved a little over the last few weeks. But steps are needed to restore or arrange supply of the vaccine in all anti-rabies clinics to avert crisis situation,” a doctor said.

“Dog lover” but lack love towards human child? #straydogs #Rabies #dogbite #infections


In a very recent incident, while out  for a routine morning walk in a Delhi park, I was suddenly jolted by violent barking sounds of dogs. The loud barking sounds were intermixed with cries of a child. I just saw the child running and screaming  for his life. Two stray  dogs were near him,  trying to hunt  him as a prey. As they got nearer to him, I somehow managed to get some stick from a plant and managed to save the child and shoo away the dogs. The nine year old child just clung to me, almost pale, dizzy and his eyes closed with fear. His football was in his lap, which he was trying to use as shield. A shield which society, government, courts and so called “dog-lovers” failed to provide. This child must be the life for his parents and could have been in a great trouble that day because of apathy of few “Animal Lovers”. For whom animal love is like a hobby to be projected for hollow public applause. I looked around, a gentleman was comfortably sitting  with his small dog and reading newspaper. He did not even bother to look at what was happening. He was the person, who used to feed these stray dogs and claimed himself to be a “Dog lover”.  He was totally unperturbed by the fact that a child was about to lose his life because of these wolf like dogs roaming freely. Fed by him, the stray dogs were like friends to him and used to attack others who did not feed them, or were new or  oblivious to the danger. What was bothering was his apathy to the child and victims  and the fact that he continued to feed that violent stray, unperturbed during  the incident.  Similar apathy has been displayed by government and courts with a result that thousand suffer from dog bite every day.

Is it not hypocritical that you care for a violent stray who is a threat to the society? Problem is not about loving and feeding dogs, but simultaneous apathy towards safety of humans.  Such dog lovers most of the time, totally ignore the fact that these dogs are a threat to children and older people. An immediate  sense of hatred towards such dog lovers is a consequence and  a natural thought.

Apart from the injury part, Rabies is a disease spread by dog bite, which is not treatable. Getting anti-Rabies serum becomes another Herculean task.

Courts have also upheld animal rights. That is right  but they did not formulate  policies to ensure guard safety of  humans from these violent strays.

           Government has not made out any policy to safeguard public from such attacks nor have courts come up with any solid guidelines, which can save public, children, women and older people from such bites.

Animal lovers  while pretending  of “dog love” have  formed NGOs and have  donations and accumulate money. But have failed to create shelters for stray dogs. Neither have any steps been taken to save people from dog bites. So consequently, people especially vulnerable are children and older people who are mauled and eaten alive by stray dogs. What responsibility and accountability these animal lovers and NGO bear towards such incidents? Why people who collect money in name of animals do not take care and form shelters for these strays? every single death from  such preventable cause raise a question on this issue.
