In 2019, it was stated in Lok Sabha that the stray dog population had declined by 18 lakhs in 7 years from 1.71 crore to 1.53 crore. Some independent studies suggest the population is much higher, as many people are missing. When attempting to care for these community animals, many communities and societies object by claiming that the other is not compassionate. Many regulations have been passed by the High Courts and much has been said about the benefits of feeding animals in our communities. Here are some steps that can be taken to resolve the problem of stray dogs.
Streamline birth control in animals
Animal birth control measures are not well managed and many animals are abandoned on the roads. We must therefore adopt a dual approach to put an end to this fight between citizens. Let’s take charge of our neighborhood. Let’s support people and form groups of volunteers who care for dogs throughout their lives. The most crucial and critical aspect is to reintegrate them into the community from which they were recovered. They have their pack, their family and their business. Don’t leave them homeless overnight or drop them off on another dog’s territory. You will put them in danger.
Making it difficult to adopt pets
Any human being wishing to adopt a pet must demonstrate capacity. Just like you adopt a child, the law should be strict when it comes to animal adoption. Pets will be children for life and you will need to understand their needs and requirements. If you do not have the capacity, you should refrain. Many buy exotic breeds for status purposes and when the dog gets sick, injured and the vet bills start coming in, they give up. They abandon the animal because it is now unaffordable. A responsible parent spays and neuters their pet.
Stricter laws and penalties
It is appalling that a crime against an animal is punishable by a fine of what… Rs 50? We see so many cows, buffaloes and horses abandoned in the streets when they are no longer useful to their “owner”. We have seen horses with their hind and front legs tied with wire so they don’t move. Older animals, sterile or no longer able to give birth, other farm animals are left on the roads to chew plastic and live on the streets.
As humans, we should come together as one. Education and awareness of regulations should reach everyone, whether a farmer, a pet owner with a dog, a butcher or even a bird feeder . Dogs and cats are known to be territorial, we have common sense so why do we behave like them? Let’s unite against the common problem of animal abuse and care for pets and animals because they deserve someone to speak on their behalf.
Biting dog
There are some things to keep in mind. Don’t provoke a dog. Do not mistreat the animal, throw stones at it, pull its tail or make the environment unsafe for it. It is important to raise awareness among those around us, the caretaker, the residential complexes, our friends and everyone we know. Attend CSR activities around awareness.
Personal Eating Experiences
Watch all animals in the community because the firecrackers are cruel to them. Check dogs, cats, cows and birds if they are okay or injured. Take injured birds to the vet and bring them back to health. It is fundamental humanity as people who coexist with other beings in a shared space. We must do much more.
