Dogs splattered on roads – does anyone care?
It’s not uncommon to see a dog lie crushed on arterial roads, particularly where high tonnage vehicles ply. When I see one while riding, my reaction would be to careful not to run over them and promptly forget it after crossing the point. If there is any road-side vendors nearby, they’ll arrange to drag the corpse out of the road (out of sight), otherwise it will lie there for hours.
When two German tourists to the city decided to care a dog with smashed hind legs in an accident and wailing for hours, it was indeed a sobering effect. The incident apparently happened in the busy East Masi Street, with numerous people passing through without noticing. (News item in Hindu)
The German girls who are clearly animal lovers, and have an interesting look on our way of life. They say, ‘Nowhere in the world, dogs and cattle move freely on the roads like here’. Was it a compliment? a defect? Should we be proud in this type of animal freedom?
