Whilst this is a very sensitive topic which may attract criticism from the masses, the law is a blessing in disguise for both people and dogs.
It will be unfair to true dog-lovers if all breeds of dogs are classified as ‘dangerous animals’.
There are breeds which are naturally aggressive and others which are exceptionally friendly and unharming.
Only those breeds which are naturally aggressive should be classified as ‘dangerous animals’.
For a true dog-lover, it shouldn’t matter whether they own a pit bull or a mongrel.
There can be instances where even after being extremely cautious, a pet dog may unexpectedly sneak away and cause harm to people or other animals around them.
Even though these are very rare happenings, prevention is always better than repenting later. This being said, stricter rules should also be imposed on releasing dogs in the wild after adoption.
These dogs who have lived their lives in the comfort of homes struggle to survive in extremely challenging conditions outdoors and tend to turn insane and cause havoc.
Further, stray dogs are untamed animals with unanticipated behaviour. They adapt to survive. Some choose aggression as an art of survival and others, friendliness.
Being stray is no fault of their own.
Before we oppose the law, we need to question ourselves.
Can we ensure each dog gets to eat sufficient food daily? The answer is ‘No’.
Can we ensure they get warmth in extremely cold weather; and coolness when it is extremely hot? No.
Can we at least give them access to clean drinking water? No.
These innocent souls are living in misery and letting them continue to live the way they are is totally inhumane.
Incidentally, the law can put an end to many miseries and can stop such struggles from happening again in future.
