Stray dogs. Are they an every existing nuisance or a product of our negligence?
All have, and had, been said and done about the "problem" with stray dogs in our vicinity and neighborhood.
Many claim that the strays are dirty, filthy, manged and full of whatsoever
diseases.I still remember vividly the words that most of the adults said to us, kiddos, when I
was a young boy then. "Don't go near..!! They are dirty!!!" and "Don't touch them. You'll get their diseases!!!" or, "Don't go near.. They will bite you!!!" And the little boy will ask, "Mommy, where do all these (stray) dogs come from?"Mommy will then say, "They are dirty and naughty dogs. So their mommy and daddy don't want them". They said this in order to tell their little ones if they are naughty, mommy and daddy will "throw" them out in the street also.
It is a pity that our folks said these things to little innocent kids. And the little kid will grow up afraid of or to hate dogs.
Can't we be more loving, caring and more responsible owner and not to neglect our pet, our dog? Do we have to see them being thrown out into the street? Do we have to resort to some "competition" in order to end the stray dogs' problem?
Undeniably, the prize is very attractive. Who would not be 'moved' by such a sum to start go catching. But, is this a wise move?
Do all these poor dogs have this ending?
