About Dogs and killing them

I cannot state this more strongly: Killing dogs is wrong. Period.No questions asked and i won't allow any either.

I am an animal lover,and maybe my view is biased. But even if i weren't,i would still say that it is an inhuman,barbaric and totally self serving act borne out of fear.

A dog has a life,and he/she has his/her own role to play in the world,even if it is as a scavenger.But how arrogant can the human race get when we assume the power over ourselves to decide that their life is expendable? Granted,rabied dogs have to be put to sleep,just as how one would wish for a terminally ill patient who cannot bear the pain and suffering that comes with incurable disease.

If an individual with Schizophrenia were to kill a person because of some imaginary grudge or the delusion that he/she is being persecuted because of him,is killing him/her as well as ALL patients with mental illness or a history of mental illness,even,the answer?

Everybody would be aghast and there would be talk of the agency committing the killings to be tried under the Human Rights Courts in Geneva or wherever it is.

But people happily sit back and smile in a self satisfied manner about the fact that we are attempting to do the same thing,but only with animals who cannot speak in their defence.

Of course,going down to names and blaming individuals personally would be to be as childish and immature as they themselves are,if they are advocating mass-killing,electrocution,vitriolage and the like.

Better garbage disposal. Mass sterilization programmes. And these meat stalls and the like should make it a point to dispose off the refuge in a more sanitary manner that would stop the animals proliferating there.

And to those people who personally killed the dogs,including those low lifes from Malabar, I have this to say:

Imagine having a noose so tight tied around your neck that you can't breathe,and your violent movements to break free from that noose would cause your cervical vertebra to be fractured,causing instant death.

Now,again imagine if you died like this for something you did not do.For something which was not your fault. And yet it was decided that you had to die.You just had to. How does that feel?

After all,this is Man's best friend we are talking about here.Who are loyal to you regardless of how much money you have and who wag their tail at you even though you may not have any food to give them,only because they are happy to see you and they have faith in you. Imagine how they would feel if they came to know what we are thinking.
