Canine Carnage in Bangalore..

Todays clip on NDTV and CNN IBN filled me with horror .
We are not killing dogs , says the Bangalore Corporation । It is anyway illegal as only vicious , sick , diseased animals are allowed to be culled. We all know that . Or do we ? Then who killed those healthy dogs in Anekal ?

The image of carnage is frozen : a hundred adult dogs or more , all healthy and fine, in the last stages and rigor of death caused by a cyanide injection to the leg , being unceremoniously thrown in to a growing heap , in a waiting garbage truck by workers.

To see their faces contorted in agony before they died and their bodies being tossed around like a garbage bags ( thanks for telling us the value of their life ) , and finally cascading from the crane lift truck emptying its tragic load into a waiting landfill; kerosene liberally thrown into the canine filled crevasse before a match was carelessly flung on the heap - it made me sick and very sad . We have all felt the shock and the pain of the family for the loss of a child's life because of a marauding dog pack , and its a tragedy that one cannot even begin to understand or explain. But it happened . And like the bus driver who carelessly reverses and kills a playing child , the electricity pole that fell on a teacher, and the dozens of car accidents that happened to unsuspecting victims , this terrible accident too happened . No one can understand why this did, or what suddenly happened to the dog pack . But isn't the time for retribution over ? Are we done with the blood sport ? Are we done with the ritual sacrifice? Can we now return to our kindly selves, our desire for blood and revenge satisfied ?
Thanks, Ms Badami for sharing this gruesome video I wish I hadnt seen it , but I have.
It stuck in our throats , and turned our stomachs, but will it turn the souls of those people who are part of this genocide by participating , or by sitting back and allowing to happen ? It seems that innocent blood must be shed before we wake up and remember Gandhijis words of an eye for an eye will ensure the whole world is blind . It has been shed now, we have burnt the martyrs at the stake. Now stop it . Must the entire canine population pay for the sins of a few dogs ? These dogs had two big problems “ they could not read the daily papers “ so they did not know they were carrying a bounty on their heads , and the second , they knew and trusted the humans around them . And they paid for it .

And they are still paying . Have a look at the pictures of the dogs picked up in that truck . See how many of them have a collar , albeit tattered , and the tell tale ear clip /cut which clearly stated that the dog is neutered and injected . There is a Whitey , a Tommy, a Savithri and a Karpa somewhere out there . There are dogs out there who have given us a friendly wag , and a grateful glance, when we have given them some time , a few scraps, and some affection . There is a school that has killed all its friendly campus dogs. There is a squealing , squirming little puppy being picked up by its neck to be thrown into a pick up truck , licking the hand of the catcher all the while, looking forward to its little treat perhaps. I don't think the puppy was old enough to read the papers either , or lose its faith in the world outside . That image really sticks in my throat .
And this is their reward ।

Wake up Bangalore , its time to smell the stench of revenge and carnage , and to take the step with government , judiciary and people to STOP this genocide .Lynching mobs went out with the old Westerns . We have a democracy now.

Stop the killing .
