FW: Re: [Nahar8towersresidentsassociation] Pets or Stray.. It seems pet, just have a look

Please read and understand... While we can be arrogant with law on our side. The heat regarding strays and pet owners is just rising.
Residents have concern and I feel we have to address it.
Your views please....
Warm Regards

Firstly, a big congratulation to the resident who is expecting:)
Secondly, what is written in the law is not against or for any group of people. It has a rational, a logic to it. Please understand there is a very good reason why in our constitution it is a duty for citizens to take care of stray animals.
“There is scientific thought behind restoring a sterilized dog to his original habitat. Dogs are territorial animals. They mark out their territories based on the food available and they do not let outsiders come in. When these local dogs are removed from their territory, other dogs move in to occupy them. These may not be sterilized so the problem continues for that locality. Dog fights increase as any new dog entering a territory is attacked by the dogs already in that area and non-sterilized dogs continue to mate and produce litters. Rabies continues to spread as none of the dogs in that area are vaccinated against it. The new dogs are hostile to the residents so problems of safety continue. A sterilized and vaccinated dog doesn’t breed, they guard their territory from intruders and new dogs, and they become docile and don’t fight with other dogs during the mating season.”
PLEASE UNDERSTAND
“Dislocation of street dogs has time and again proven to be counter-productive and only favours the entry of other non-sterilized street dogs into the area, which will not only be unknown to you but also to those who tend to the area’s street dogs, thus raising more cases of man-animal conflict.”
For more on the same please see this link. http://jaagruti.org/information-to-empower-you/indian-street-dogs-and-their-rights/
Lastly, I own a pet. And I always feel guilty for not doing enough for those Indian dogs who perhaps need the care and shelter more than the dog I have adopted. A lot of our generous neighbours have taken it upon them to feed, medicate and love these abandoned creatures. I salute them for taking on a compassionate position so passionately that most of us find no time for or are paralysed by our own prejudices and misinformation.
My father was an army officer. Having a pedigree dog in those days was a very common thing for officers and their families. But one day when I was very young, I took in a stray dog after our own pedigree pet got lost. He was cute when he was small, but soon he grew into what a stray dog looks like- not very pretty by the standards we have. Indian is so not cool. So when we had parties, with officers and their families coming in, they would shriek and scream when the Indian dog approached them wagging its tail. The same families who would pet a white pom, a small apso would shriek and run away like he was some kind of wild animal.
My father, out of concern for his status perhaps, gave him away to a man in the cantonment. Just handed him out.
He returned, 4 months later. A rope tied to his neck, his skin around it bleeding and torn. He had come back the whole day hungry and weak to visit his family that had instead chosen to abandon him because the guests in the colony thought he was wild looking and not a ‘pet’.
You have seen the practical, scientific side of caring for these creatures. The other more emotional side would appeal to you to let go of prejudice, to inform yourself and acknowledge that the world over, how a society treats it’s abandoned is a measure of its compassion, its empathy. An understanding and knowledgeable society is the only one worth welcoming our future generations to.
I hope we shall not see each other on the opposite side of the fence and look at caring for each other’s concern in a more trusting manner.
Regards
Smita

Guys we are missing the point
We pet owners are careless... Leaving pups dogs without leash in the podium and other walking areas.
Pet dogs pooping and peeing on the grass and in open areas. Residents concern is valid.
And in the crossfire the strays are also highlighted.
We all in this group are aware and in our own capacity and time are doing work and contributions towards stray health.
We educated pet owners need to stop messing the premises..
Walk the dog outside.. Pick the poop..let the dog pee and then get it up on podium and other walking areas... It's not difficult.
Either we live in harmony or just don't care about others and their concern.
Then you can vaccinate 10 strays, show care towards their health, but if u have no correction to wrong doing that's a concern to majority residents.. Then we are just fooling ourselves here.
All they are asking is for a clean surrounding... Is this hard???
Warm Regards

I absolutely agree that no one should leave pet's poop lying around. No one here says that. In fact I always take my dog out of Nahar premise and then inside for a walk.
But from what i read, they are pointing out to dogs even looking around in the grass, taking pictures of pets on lawns.
