16-Apr-2022: The Life of a Dog
Dog is one of the closest domestic animals and have a high amount of respect from humans. So much so that a Dog is never addressed as a "Kutta" which is the Hindi equivalent of Dog. Have you ever wondered Why? Because the word "Kutta" has a different connotation which is derogatory. In public they are addressed as Doggie, puppy, or the name of their breeds, etc.
Dogs are very helpful, obedient, trustworthy, and often sacrificing too for the cause of their masters. On the other hand they are a nuisance once they are in the streets. But steel they enjoy the highest place among cats, dogs, cattle, goats, sheep, etc. Ever wondered, a cow can be cut on the street, but a dog can't be even kicked. If you all remember, there was a minister in the central cabinet in our country who telephoned the local authorities when she heard a stray dog was kicked by somebody, to take action. The PETA also has no objection of countless killing of animals, but they can't tolerate the slightest mistreatment to dogs. Often humans are subjected to bigger mistreatment than dogs, but nobody cares.
What I am trying to emphasise is that all animals must be treated objectively. Stray dogs must be treated differently for the convenience of the residents. The best thing is to have a clear-cut policy of registering all domestic dogs and removing stray dogs to Municipality controlled kennels where there procreation can be controlled.
