“Open clashes” are now happening across various RWAs and residential committees because, over the last few years, the issue of street dogs has been deliberately turned into a hate campaign.
It started with certain 🅵🅰🅺🅴 “animal activist” groups & 🅽🅶🅾🆂 in 🅳🅴🅻🅷🅸 that never did any real ground work,
yet helped create a nationwide narrative that every civic problem is somehow caused by animals alone.

🔰 The truth is: Animal lovers also want fewer dogs on the streets.
Why❓ Because the higher the population, the higher the:
• hunger
• disease
• accident deaths
• heat/cold suffering
• abuse
• infections
• untreated injuries
And who actually takes responsibility for all this?
𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗥𝗪𝗔𝘀. 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀. It is usually the same 𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 whom people mock as “dog lovers.” The financial, physical, and mental burden falls on them. That is exactly why genuine animal lovers do NOT support uncontrolled populations.
The difference is in the 𝗠𝗘𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗗.
What dog haters demand:❗
• kill them
• dump them somewhere else
• starve them
• poison them
• illegal relocation
In short, they want to “hide” the problem through cruelty and illegal actions.
What animal lovers support: ✅
• ABC (Animal Birth Control)
• Sterilization
• Vaccination
• Territory-based management
• Responsible feeding
These are scientifically proven and legally accepted solutions.
♦Another major misconception:
“Dogs bite people for no reason.”
𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: poor children, laborers, and people living on streets often coexist with community dogs for years without issues. Bite cases usually increase where people:
• throw stones
• beat dogs with sticks
• harm puppies
• disturb feeding points
• constantly terrorize animals
Animals react to behavior. The energy and treatment you give is often the response you receive back.

There is also a scientific reason behind this. Constant harassment, beating, chasing, and fear increase cortisol levels - the primary stress hormone in animals. Chronic stress makes dogs more anxious, defensive, and reactive. In other words, 𝗰𝗿𝘂𝗲𝗹𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘁𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗴𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗴𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝘂𝗲𝗹𝘁𝘆.

♦Another absurd myth:
“Feeding dogs increases their population.”
Food does NOT increase population. 𝗨𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 does.
Humans eat three meals a day - does that automatically increase human population❓
Population control is achieved through sterilization, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 starvation.
Starving animals is not a solution. It is simply cruelty.
And cruelty does not make a society civilized.

✔ Implement ABC properly
✔ Increase vaccination drives
✔ Spread public awareness
✔ Stop animal cruelty
✔ Encourage educated discussions in RWAs
What we need is science, not hate.
