Stray Dogs - A Threat to the Society

"Keralam" is famous in the tourism map for its natural beauty and heritage. The tourists whether they are domestic or international, who come here for  their vacation are only gave us this much fame as a tourist place, through their mouth publicity.

The tourists used to describe about everything  that they experience here during their holiday- both positive and negative,like the beauty of our back waters and the rude behaviour of our auto drivers. One factor I used to notice in almost all the cities of kerala is the high density of stray dogs, it is the same in city and village. huge, barking, wild, stray dogs that will eat at the waste bin and ran behind vehicle as if we encroached their private place.

This phenomenon is increased in few years as the hon'ble court has banned killing stray dogs, we used to catch and kill stray dogs and this has helped to control their number to minimum and, some activists has approached the court and they got a verdict in their favour which caused this now. Just imagine if any of the street dogs attacked any forigner and he developed rabis! then what publicity will be we receiving internationally.

We know, our foriegn tourists will roam here and there, every nuke and corner of the place they visit, even in late night also, and this accident will occur soon if we neglect this growing issue. I felt it so amusing to hear the court has passed a judgement to not to kill stray dogs as some one approached them saying

 “dont kill these poor animals,they have their right to live here”

yes...I too agree that  the earth is for them too....but we too need to live here peacefully.....with out fearing any animals, with out the fear of a giant tree fall in to our house, which we cant cut due to the nature activist’s protest. When there is law and court to protect even stray dogs why cant we have such things for us too? Are we not worth as a stray dog in this society? Don’t we have no rights here? Only stray dogs meant to live here ????

 One thing we should remember here, no activist or nature lover will walk home late night after the day’s hectic work, they all are roaming in their own AC vehicles from their air conditioned home to offices, they dont need to face the spine chilling experience of a wild looking barking stray dog follow you as you walk home, and you feel to run faster in your every step and will control that inhibition by remebering that it will jump upon you if you run....
