Another 'unfortunate incident', proof of barbarism

With all due respect for good intentions, & making plain

that I am speaking only for myself, I don't have a lot of patience

with people who feed street dogs & feral cats & then are surprised

when the animals are poisoned, round up & killed, or killed in some

other gruesome manner.

 

This is just as predictable as the outcome from pissing into

the wind. What needs to be done is sterilizing and vaccinating the

animals, and leaving them dispersed throughout their habitat, where

they are obviously finding enough food to survive or they would not

be there.

 

Sterilizing them inhibits the fecundity of the population to

ensure that there is more food to go around.

 

Feeding them just concentrates them more in particular

locations where they:

 

1) Hang around & make pests of themselves while awaiting

handouts, instead of individually scavenging refuse & hunting

rodents;

 

2) Pack up, in the case of well-fed dogs, & burn off

calories by chasing humans & livestock, which authentic street dogs

don't do because animals living by their own resources tend to

conserve their energy;

 

3) Defecate in sufficient concentrations to make the

vicinity unpleasant to passers-by;

 

4) Become unusually vulnerable to mass round-ups,

poisoning, and massacre.

 

 

All a feeder is really doing is conditioning animals to be

killed--including conditioning them to eat poisoned baits. Often

smart street animals will not take kibble, because they know very

well that it is often mixed with poison. Thus, after the December

2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, well-meaning American rescuers found that

they had to disguise kibble by mixing it with rice in order to get

the starving dogs in Sri Lanka to touch it.

 

Every bag of kibble that a well-meaning feeder of street dogs

and feral cats buys represents a sterilization surgery that the

person could have paid for instead, and is often the death warrant

for the dogs or cats who eat it.

 

I have about the same response to photos of people feeding

packs of street dogs that many animal advocates have to photos of

bullfights: what the hell are these people thinking of?

 

If someone wants to feed the dog or two or cat or two on

his/her own doorstep, no problem, because that doesn't create a

problem. Baiting animals into regular feeding locations, though,

is always trouble. Sometimes it is necessary for a few days or

(rarely) even weeks to condition feral cats to be caught and

sterilized, but it should never be a sustained routine.

 

Yes, I know, I am a heartless bastard. Even the four

recently rescued feral cats under my bed think so. And my two dogs,

also recent rescue cases, are allegedly not the brightest.

opinions may be different,but your points are convincing.making habitual of

begging sometimes pose a threat to their independent living .Similarly Monkeys

in India are become habitual of Bread biscuits and in many instances fast

food,NonVeg and some times alcohal etc.They are difficult to rehabilitate.

 

More views of Members on this matter will enlighten.

FEED THE STARVING MAKES ONE A COMPASSIONATE CITIZEN.

 

I do not know how to make the starving pup or the monkey understand

that because of a defunct system that persists in this society driven

by human intellectuals, feeding them may err.

 

A starving fellow human or animal understands just one language, the

language of HUNGER.

 

Try starving and you may understand.

 

Yes its a menace, we all are working to reduce it, aint' we?

Dont be so harsh!

dear Azam,

The views are not influenced by emotions but seems to be reality.Humanity and

compassion says in the other way which we all agreee I am not for the views

expressed in previous mails but these are really convincing and true upto

certain extent.Many times we spoil our child by providing everything for

nothing.

The issue is very serious.

best wishes ,

Sandeep
