For example, it is routine in my town to see dog owners taking out the dog for a “walk”. During this walk, the owner makes sure that the dog poops and pees by the roadside. At times, bang in the middle of the road or public park. Once done, both the owner and the dog happily return home.
Only last week a small child was attacked by a pack of stray dogs. Why are there so many stray dogs in our society? Well, because we have a bunch of dog lovers who feed these strays.

I appeal to the government to bring in very strict laws to prevent such threats to human life. Dog owners and dog lovers must be held liable for the misdeeds of the dogs.
Dog owners must be held liable if their dog bites/scratches anyone. They must be held liable if the dog urinates or defecates in a public place or other people’s private property.
Laws must be brought to hold dog-owners completely responsible if their dog bites or scratches other people. The owners must be criminally prosecuted for such behaviour of their dogs.
