Let sleeping dog threads lie, and don't feed stray trolls.

This "news" item is five years old...

I vote for mass slaughter of stray trolls.

I say the stray dogs should be killed (even though they are not). They are a nuisance to us humans and sometimes a threat also. Bombay, would have been better of without theses dogs.

Get rid of the whole lot of them and then come down to Goa and get rid of the rest of them - please - please - please.

They are a bl***y nuisance where I live - they come into our complex and float in our pool - crap on the walkways and growl at all of us. Get Rid of them - NOW.

With a little effort you could get some information on the issue and even might reach the conclusion that killing strays does not solve anything only sterilizing them does.

I am particularly fond of humans who promote killing living creatures.
I was not impressed when I visited the Bombay Animal Hospital in Parel and saw the canine victims of human cruelty. This is the ugly side of some Mumbaikars.

GROWL!

That was especially for Charlotte.

People... we've done this tedious subject, expecially the bit where people parade their (as pointed out by indiaddict) ignorance and inhumanity. The ugly side of IndiaMikers!

Dogs are domesticated animals. they can not take care of them selves. India is guilty of animal abuse by allow the dogs to live as strays. Ending their lives is the human thing to do. The adult thing to do. Stray dog owner should be held accountable as should the parents of stray children.

One alternative:
Gift a stray dog to every foreign tourist who visit Mumbai.

This thread is age old! Bombay Changed to Mumbai, but stray dogs are still there.

"stray dog owner" - that's a good one!! lol

"Ending their lives is the human thing to do. The adult thing to do." - What a childish thing to say!

You certainly don't know anything about dogs, let alone strays in India and you are passing judgment on both the dogs and Indians?

No human being has got any right to kill any animal. Animals share this planet with us, they have a right to it just as we do. To the people who think killing stray dogs is the right thing to do please watch the following movie immediately:

Viewer discretion is advised.

We don't live in the 12th century anymore. As for Sanjay Gandhi's comments about stray dogs karma got him in the end.

In some parts of rural India it feels as if you do live in the 12th Century.

Apart from the mobile phones...

I can understand that some rural parts of the world have to kill animals for survival but if you are typing from behind a computer then you are exposed to mass media and have the means to educate yourself.
