A network of feeders, caregivers, security guards, and residents has sprung into action in neighbourhoods across Delhi — from Vasant Kunj to Janakpuri to Tilak Nagar.

SL Bhojegowda doesn't end there as he suggests dumping stray canines at homes of animal lovers. This was after Karnataka govt expressed helplessness during a discussion in Council.

Many of you might think I got something so wrong in National Interest pieces written this year. I might disagree! But some deserve a Mea Culpa. I’d deal with the most recent this week.
We need to address the most miserable life of Street stray dogs and present burning topic seriously. In my opinion every female stray dog has to be sterilised and immunised before restoring to its locality. The campaign of anti…rabies vaccination and immunization of every stray dog should be funded and implemented more systematically and sincerely. A ward-wise food shelter should be set up by the local civic,vet authorities in association with dog lovers and associations. The adoption of stray male dogs may be encouraged by civic authorities….
Actually the lifespan of a stray dog is at the most around 10 years. If we implement the above program systematically then within a span of 5 to 10 years we see the extinction of community of stray dogs as a whole. Thereby let us say goodbye to the Symbol of Gratitude and celebrate for removing this stray dog community from competing among themselves for Contaminated food in dirty plastic covers, contaminated drainage water.Till then we should not allow our conscience to kill street stray dogs, once popularly called upon as THE LION OF VILLAGE( A STRAY DOG )….
These people seem to have a sort of contempt for the fellow human beings. Nothing else can explain this madness of not understanding the gravity of the situation. No civilised country tolerates sucha huge number of strays on the roads. Do these people know that Aistralia culls even the Kangaroos when their numbers go up? And USA culls the strays if they are not adopted within a week or so? These countries value the safety and lives of their citizens unlike these entitled and ivory tower bleeding hearts who always get their way and make the govs pass laws that favour strays over the humans.
If the government issues a ban on breeding and sale of foreign breeds more indie dogs will be adopted. This combined with what is done by vaccination, spaying and feeding stray dogs could reduce the street dog population.
Believe me not all street dogs get fed. Life is a cruel struggle and not only the dogs but people who are kind to them are ridiculed and abused.
Those people who are/ have been taking care of their community dogs can geotag them if possible so that it will be possible for them to locate the shelter they’ve been kept in. Also, it is sad to have come to this. Had the responsible authorities done their job/ duty efficiently, we would not come to see this day. This, in my opinion, is quite harsh. It’s like punishing the entire family of an individual who has committed a crime. There are better solutions possible, albeit long term. More involvement of NGO’s and Animal welfare communities and people at large can do their bit by adopting community dogs. Also, citizens must be sensitised towards their behaviour with these creatures. Many a times, dogs chasing bikes etc and getting aggressive towards children is more of a reaction on their part due to a few motorists deliberately trying to run over them or people pelting stones at them without any reason. Unfortunately, this causes them to get aggressive towards the unsuspecting citizen which, I feel, is a major reason for the root cause of this entire issue and public sentiment.
Each one of these bleeding heart dog lovers should be arrested and prosecuted. They must be held responsible and accountable for the thousands of cases of dog bites and related deaths.
Shameless people who have absolutely no sympathy or compassion for their fellow human beings.
I hope the three-judge SC bench declares stray dogs as vermin so that people can initiate culling on their own. This is the only feasible solution to this menace.
