Walking through a deserted lane…
All seemed calm…
For a minute you didn’t know what happened…
A shrill scream filled the environment…
Then you realized it was yours…
You opened your eyes…
Blood thirsty ones starring into yours…
Your face so close that you were breathing its bad breath…
Saliva oozing from its sharp canine onto your face…
Its paws on your body…
It’s dirty, sharp claws tearing your flesh apart…
Fear fills you…
Pain explodes your mind…
Your only wish is to wake up from this dreadful dream…
I wonder how many of us have had dreams like this….not many…not even few… But most of us are ignorant about the fact that there are people who have experienced such attacks. You’ll be even more shocked to know who the attacker is… MAN’S BEST FRIEND. I am not talking about the international breeds or the country breeds that are well protected from diseases and trained to be good pets. But about the ones which leaves you with a sleepless night…not just by their loud barks but by the fear they’ll attack you.
This might sound silly for people who spend their nights in cosy warm bedrooms. Try spending your nights under thatched roof and you’ll realize the fathom of truth in my words…
What is the solution to prevent such attacks?? Hide from these stray dogs?? What are we?? Cats?? Hmmm… my personal suggestion is to put a full stop to their lives. My intentions are not to destroy the dog species but to save ourselves. Recently few kids have been pronounced dead after being attacked by these blood thirsty beasts. Such incidents are steadily on the rise. Its sad to know that the main victims are kids, who are not blessed with good fortune, especially of age below 8 years. Even if anyone survives these heartless attacks, it is again a question of life or death. As we know stray dogs are not protected against fatal diseases such as rabies, there are very high chances for the attacked victims to suffer from the same. So why not kill the dogs instead of being killed???? Try killing one and you’ll be produced before the court by the BLUE CROSS!!!
Blue cross, an organization to protect animals, did not favour the idea of killing these stray dogs. They claimed that dogs are authentic creatures. But why did these trust worthy creatures attacked the kids?? Does the blue cross have any answers?? Did they do their duty of restricting the multiplication of these dogs?? Did they vaccinate them against the various diseases?? If so… why are these attacks still taking place???
Put yourself in a kid’s place, who in ragged school uniforms, with bare foot, when heading for the government school just for the sake of a square meal is attacked by these monsters. How would it be if you are left with a face that is unrecognizable or if you are given a one way ticket?? Who is answerable to the families who lost their kids?? “Are dogs more important than humans??” what does the Blue cross have to say for this???
Is there any other solution??? Raise funds for Blue cross?? Even if we raise money, does it end up in the right hands?? We never know… what else can we do?? Make it a rule that every family has to take in at least one stray dog to bring it up as pets?? Is it possible?? I really don’t know… but frankly, though a little ashamed, I would prefer an international breed or at least a country breed to a stray dog. Not just me but most of us or at least a few… when I say ‘dogs’, most of u might have this picture flashed in your mind... a cute innocent fur ball(just like in the picture)!!!... But in my mind it is a savage, untamed beast waiting to attack innocent victims!!! What can we do to stop them?? Wait for one fine day for everything to turn up right?? Will this ‘one fine day’ come if we are gonna do nothing???
While the time we are waiting for someone to give the answers, lets remember that many lives are in danger…vulnerable victims… the little ones… especially from families which are below the poverty line and the lower middle class. What is the solution then??? Save as many dogs as possible before they turn into monsters. This is possible only by the Blue cross. If you are one among them, if you have a heart, if you don’t want your kids to be attacked, its up to you to save us… and the others lets help them in every way we can… as for the monsters…………
Lets do justice to our human race!!!
