Got bit by a Dog

[RNair]

Crazy motorists, cruelty to animals and stray animals are all real but different issues and need to have a page of their own. No point in addressing them all together in one or comparing to each other. A civil society should not have a million strays running around the roads just like there should be no tolerance for law breakers.

1. If you cannot kill them, address the issue of multiplication.

2. If you cannot kill them then shoot anti rabies vaccines into all of them

3. Once you have the numbers reduced, maybe you can send the remaining to shelters form where they can be adopted.

For all of the above I repeat the society as well as the civic authorities have failed. So a law abiding citizen like me when gets threatened by one of these strays should either have the option to take law in my own hands or should have the luxury to hold someone responsible for damages and not head to the nearest shop to buy biscuits.

(My apologies to the truly discerning, in my defense I could not find a pulitzer winning journalist who writes about stray dogs and related issues)

LAWL. Didja check goddiscussion.com ? What about telegupeople.com?

I don't get it...they are just stray dogs. Whats wrong in killing them? Why all those 'dogs are human' animal lovers seem so hell bent in protecting them when these strays create nothing but trouble for others?

Can't tell if really obvious troll or true psychopath.

Some of the so called cyclist here have lost their Human side ( Dogs survive because of the mercy shown by humans). On second thoughts now i know why such cyclist get bitten or chased.

[RNair]

Yeah right! No solutions. Just cake.

[vinay_talks]

Ive got my solution, and now i have no issues.

Go find yours

P.S: I did give my solution but as i mentioned some so called cyclist have lost their Human side

[RNair]

That is exactly what we are doing. If you found yours and have no issues then no point saying a 2 liner of cakes. Go adopt a few of them and bring them home and ask your neighbors and friends who love them to do the same.

and could you share that deep insight that establishes the connection between "loss of human side" to loss of human life via canid intervention. Bonus marks for showing merciful and pious humans have escape clauses.

I dont have any problems with them being on the road, those who have problems should adopt them and ask their neighbors to adopt them or simply change your attitude towards them.

Sometimes our inhuman thoughts are so evident on our faces!! May be the dogs are able to read them clearly - hehe

Loss of Human life? how many cyclist have lost their lives to dog bites?

Ive realized that You guys just don't want a workable solution, You just want to crib. If you have guts go "Smack them" with your bare hands.

Not enough, like it has been hammered a thousand times. it is a health hazard. face palm#

Do only cyclists have to die before it becomes a problem? If this was a hairdressers forum, would you require a certain number of hajaams to be bitten to death before they went out and started a "smacking" war vs doggies? What next? "Doggie style"?

complete utter and total bilge. in so many ways.

A dog is a pack animal.

A human is free to read whatever emotion he wants in to it.

It means nothing.

It is completely incorrect to think that dogs are able to read faces. Next they'll be playing poker and singing Kenny Rogers songs for a taste of your whiskey.

Dont mix up Disney and your imagination and come up with some weird fantasy.

By the way crows are more intelligent than dogs in some ways. Crows don't spread rabies. Crows are however schedule V species. ie vermin. Because they are not cute enough.

How many cyclists should die before you think there is rabies is a cause for concern, or is your point that that cyclists are not human. What about "so called cyclists" are they too quasi human ? that less than a hundred thousand or so of that species dropping off to rabies is insufficient for you to fell something in your human side. oh, sorry i forgot you are human all over.

Meh.

You can adopt any style that you want, Thats none of my business.

The point here is do you want to discuss a topic in General or discuss it with an intention of finding a pragmatic solution for cyclist? Discussing topic in general is "Talking like a politician" who just talks and has no solution and honestly as (Gayyu_v_b) highlighted Erratic Motorist are a bigger problem than Dogs.

It looks like most of the so called cyclist here have been playing a lot of action games on their Xbox's or PS3 to suggest things like killing Dogs/smacking their heads and authorities should cull them. To me all this is just Cribbing.

Dogs are territorial they only come after you when you enter their locality, if you think you can kill each one of them then "Please Go ahead and Try" and if you really want a solution then keep your minds open try making friends with them or change your cycling route.

To dream about India without stray dogs is a foolish thought, But i wont stop you.

If you look, carefully at the thread subject it says Got bit by a Dog. Not got bit by an erratic motorist. Just pointing it out so that you don't wander off talking like a politician

if it just cribbing why are your panties in a wad ?

Vinay drop it man. No one really cares about stuff that might help. You will only get dragged in deeper and deeper while being mocked and insulted.

You are right buddy but at least other people will get to know that we have some "Cry Babies" here.

I'm not going to say anything more.

[abhi]

Rajesh is right. In Bangalore we have so many cases of rabies, and every year we have kids being MAULED to death by strays.

Feeding strays is irresponsible. Like he said you have not been bitten yet, but tomorrow it might be you, your kid, friend anyone. My sister in law has been bitten and needed ARV. Its a pain, cost and worry which no one needs.

Vinay, you do know about the kids who have been killed right?

bblost, you think feeding strays helps? Gosh the absurdity is astounding.

" I've actually become friends with the dogs on the street.

What happens when you go on a street which has dogs who are not your friends. Love your 'logic'.

Step 1 : Give a solution that you think is awesome

Step 2 : People don't accept your solution because they think its not awesome

Step 3 : Rant about how everyone else is a piece of shit and throw veiled insults like "you guys just crib". So essentially, you're cribbing about how people are cribbing. Way to go!

Step 4 : Insert unwanted arguments about politicians, motorists etc and go off track

Step 5 : Shockingly get the support of bblost who comes up with a butt kicking one liner insult!

Wow. Seriously, can we just stick to the problem of stray dogs and not politicians or motorists or emo bullshit that doesn't make any sense? You gave a solution and we don't like it because people(esp kids) have been killed by those fucking rabid dogs - while people like you feed them, egging them on. For f^<k's sake, move on!

[deepakvrao]

^^Plus one.

Stupid logic, and you get upset when someone points out that your logic is stupid.

[bblost]

?
where did I say that.


@Shankar...why did you get insulted. It was not meant for anyone in particular.

Wow. Seriously, can we just stick to the problem of stray dogs and not politicians or motorists or emo bullshit that doesn't make any sense?

+1 to this as well.

I have never faced the problem of agressive dogs that needed any strong action/ reaction from my side. So I don't really care about this.

[abhi]

^^*You* never faced a problem, so you don't care. Sure. You said to Vinay that no one cares about solutions that might help.

All those who feel it's OK to feed strays please take FULL responsibility, and take them home, house them, get them vaccinated and feed them too. Don't think you are doing something very humane by feeding them on the streets.

-----

BTW, I have never been 'seriously' affected either, but I feel VERY strongly about this topic, as I have seen pictures of those mauled kids.

[vinay_talks]

@Shankar - Do you have a solution? If not, then don't ask others to move, I will say what I have to say. I don't need your attitude, I've got my own

@Deepak - All these dogs are not from my locality and they have also chased me at some point in time, but i have become friends with them. I don't feed them on a regular basis in-fact in the last 2-3 months i have not fed them at all.

I have only looked at this issue from a cyclist point of view and my solutions are also from the same side. If you guys want to discuss this as General topic from "National" and "WHO" statistics point of view then please continue with this discussion till eternity as nothing is going to come out of it.

God Bless.

I dont have any problems with them being on the road, those who have problems should adopt them and ask their neighbors to adopt them or simply change your attitude towards them.

Ive realized that You guys just don't want a workable solution, You just want to crib. If you have guts go "Smack them" with your bare hands.

here is a workable solution

read this for instance http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes ... ogs-menace

Raghu, a labourer, whose five-year-old son was bitten by a dog, was admitted to the Sadar Hospital a few days ago. "My son was badly wounded on his hand and face. I had to spend more than Rs 5,000 on his treatment. How is it possible for daily wage earners like me to spend so much money?" he asked.

That man Raghu and his son ,have a problem with stray dogs. Since you are "totally human" why don't you and your fellow dog lovers stop being so self indulgent and take some responsibility.

Pay to a fund that pays out to victims. or something meaningful instead of asking his neighbor to adopt the strays which savaged his son (so that it can happen again).

Or STFU.

From my earlier post

Studies conducted by Dr A.P. Galhotra, a professor in veterinary science at the Punjab Agriculture University, show that roughly three million people in India are bitten by dogs every year. Out of these 30,000 die a slow, torturous death due to rabies. India has the dubious distinction of being the country where 70 per cent of all rabies deaths in the world takes place. In contrast China records 1,000 deaths due to rabies every year and the United Kingdom none.

@Cryptic - Ive seen your thinking level, I'm happy with mine.
