Howler
Hey jackal (I find it weird calling you Raka, the former is a much more identifying name for you) so you are talking about your own biradri haan........
Its no surprise you love DOGS, afterall you are one of them. LOL.
Hey personally, I dont like dogs, pets, well I only like fish, because they just roam around in the water and wont bother you.
I feel that the number of street dogs should be controlled. I really feel that their number is growing in an uncontrolled manner. They are indeed a nuisance to the society and are pretty dangerous, if you are walking on the roads late at night. They are really dangerous for people riding bikes, as they chase two wheelers and bite the rider. And for those who don’t believe me, take a ride at night and then give your opinion.
Thanks to these so called animal lovers (Maneka Gandhi and others), who I bet have never taken a walk but prefer to ride in their air-conditioned cars instead, this problem will always be there.
I don’t think we should send them to the pound, as some people do, I think that would be too cruel. The municipality had come up with a much better solution, to control their multiplication by contraceptive techniques. But even this is not acceptable to our dear dog-lovers (pun intended).
I have no problem if people have dogs as pets, provided they take care of them and are completely responsible. Their pet should not turn out to be a nuisance for their neighbours. Its similar to playing loud music, we should all restrain from it if our neighbours are getting inconvenienced. Similarly, if your dog cant stop barking, then take the dog and go to hell. I am not afraid of dogs as Bhaks is, but I would rather have roads that are not filled with strays (dogs, cats, hoggs, you name them).
Now some animal lovers will have a real problem with what I have said and may consider me to be too insensitive to animals. I got this to say to them. Hey, YOU are the animal lover, not ME. Its your passion not mine. You have no right to impose your likes and desires on me and other citizens. If we don’t like something, then we have a right to follow our wish. This is a free country (also for the human population). You are free to do what you like, provided you don’t step into others toes and bother them.
Its like being GAY. Hey, if you are gay, be so by all means, its your choice. I have no problem with that. But just because YOU are gay, don’t ask ME and everyone else to become gay. Don’t bother others, stick your community and be the way you are. YOU are the one who is that way, not the rest of the country (come to think of it, not that that would be a bad idea now, would it), whats more, its good for straight people like me, it eliminates competition. With the number of female population decreasing, (not bringing the quality factor into picture, otherwise, the population would appear to be miniscule) it in fact would be a good thing if more and more guys turn gay. Coming back to the point, don’t expect others to be the way you are. Right, we may occasionally crack the odd joke on your community. But as long as you stick to your guns, (LOL) and don’t trouble the rest, its really not an issue. I will continue to like girls (yes GIRLS) and you can continue to like you know whom.
Did I hear someone say, it’s a doggy doggy world.

LOL!! yeah. i agree abt the part of not stepping on other's toes and bothering others to execute ur rights.
but my dear frnd, the Dogs r a nuisance coz man has chosen to create it. the Dogs/cats/fishes (go on add more...) are equal citizens of planet earth.
just bcoz man wud ike more space/resources for himself doesnt entitle him to ENCROACH upon non-human residents of this planet.
You, vivek say, dont encroach upon other's toes to enjoy ur rights. but u conveniently exclude non-humans from the definition of "others". dats pretty selfish i must say. i dont want u2 bring home a dog or a cat. wat i'd expect u is not to call it a nuisance. man has encroached upon the territory of animal kingdom. i dont see where are the animals supposed to live if they are denied residence in their very own home!!
and then ppl complain abt tigers/leopards entering human settlements and attaching babies. its a man-made menace. and man has to own up.
and wat with ur comfy goldfish swimmin in ur fish tank. u can keep it. who cares! as long as u dont come out and shoot the neighborhood dog coz he barks a lil too much on u!!
and yeah, i dont wanna sound like the one from maneka gandhi camp. im n ot one of em. if there''s a menace, be it man made or not, it has to be dealt with for self-safety.
contraception is a better idea. but i think human population is a much more bigger menace. i think in this case, shooting street humans wud be less a sin than street dogs!! wat u gotta say abt that dude!?! aftral they dont swim quitely in the fishtank either!
Jackal, you are right when you say humans are a bigger menace. you also feel the need to eliminate them. well, salman khan, alister pererira and company have already started with the said task, you might want to give them a helping hand. but count me out of this.
did you hear about the four year old boy who was killed by a pack of dogs in bangalore, this happened in the recent past, also about the girl killed by a stray dog in assam?
dont tell me human encroachment is the problem here, humans also need to live on this planet, i hope you have no problems with this. if you need a live example, as i told you, walk out after maybe 10 at night and you can see what iam talking about.
hey and then you drifted away from the topic by bringing in leopards into the discussion. it is a well known fact that humans are getting killed in borivali just because they are encroaching on the park land. that is pretty clear to everyone. but i see no connection between these two topics, wildlife and city life are two entirely different aspects and dont mix them.
i too feel that the wild animals are threatened by humans, poaching is the worst form of crime committed by man. I feel that the number of lions and tigers are diminishing alarmingly and we should really do something to save these wonderful animals. Now when I talk about this, I do realize that iam talking about something that is not the subject here, unlike you.
What I don’t like is you would say that according to me, lions have a right to live but dogs don’t. as I have made it clear, I am against culling of stray animals.
That’s not what I am saying. If dogs and other animals also have the right to live, then so does every living organism. Let me quote you exactly from your earlier comment – “but my dear frnd, the Dogs r a nuisance coz man has chosen to create it. the Dogs/cats/fishes (go on add more...) are equal citizens of planet earth.” And again – “i dont see where are the animals supposed to live if they are denied residence in their very own home!!”
Why do you use sprays to kill cockroaches, don’t they have a right to live, what if they live in your neighbourhood, they are living things too. Going by what you have said above, it does seem logical. You cant make a distinction between one living thing from the other, if you strictly follow what you have said. If you are talking about animal rights, why cant you extend it to all living things, why are you prejudiced towards certain living things. Even they are created by nature, if you are such a big nature lover than don’t have such a bigoted view about things.
Now don’t respond with, ‘How can you draw similarities between animals and insects’. Hey insects are living things too, and have the right to live. You cant deny that, and don’t be choosy when it comes to saving lives.
A life is a life, if you are gonna save lives don’t be choosy.
dont talk abt the isolated incidents dude. in a population of 1 billion, a few ppl r bound to get hurt by animals. again wat i just said shudnt be taken as a generalization. there indeed are a few localities where the problem is genuine. but it needs to be dealt at that level.
and the analogy with cockroaches is not correct dude. wen i said the animals have equal rights to live, i mean equal rights for survival. on an even playing field.
the cockroaches are a threat to human health and hence needed to be kept away from. doesnt mean total extermination of cockroaches either. they have their own place in the ecosystem.
same goes for the dogs. dogs multiplying in unnaturally large numbers to pose a threat to mankind must definitely be controlled. wat im against is a systematic extermination of dogs to make way for the five star living conditions that rich ppl crave for.
and wen i talked abt tigers and leopards, i definitely was not out of line. u fail to see the larger problem. MAN HAS STARTED MEDDLING WITH HIS SURROUNDINGS. AND HE;S CREATING TROUBLE FOR HIMSELF.
Dogs increasing in large numbers, tigers dwindling, whales getting extinct are all a result of man trying to play God.
And i would even go further to say that when these creatures "retaliate" as the dogs are doing, its again a part of self-stabilizing mechanism inbuilt in the nature, which counter balances the disturbing forces, namely Man. Its just nature at play :))
