1,500 healthy & non-persecuted street

Well said!

 

It is indeed good to show concern for fellow humans,

but at the cost of 1,500 healthy & non-persecuted

street dogs? Would'nt it be a little unfair to the

destitute voiceless animals.

 

Here is why:

 

In less than 5 days the 1500 healthy and non-

persecuted street dogs would end up in gunny sacks

and or killed for human food in Mizoram,

neighbouring Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh and

Meghalaya states.

State?
