Menaka Gandhi, Pamela Anderson and Dogs.

Before starting my thoughts let me be clear I am never known either as a dog lover neither an environmental activist. But as most of those people around I truly care for the environment and nature. Now to the context of this has to be something very concerning to our so called Menaka and Pamela.
Pamela Anderson came up the biggest inventions in the history of zoology stating dogs cannot wear condoms. She was talking about the schemes in Mumbai to get streets rid of Stray dogs. Historically Menaka Gandhi has been the biggest activist in India for these stray dogs.
We don’t have to tell how good our land has been and will be. How much we worshipped and cared for most animals. Dogs they are best friends of human beings who cannot be good enough to have a friend from his own species. As you all might know India has too many problems of the developing world. And Stray dogs may not come anywhere near the top most concerns of any politicians or activists.
The discussion about dogs cannot be told without telling the story of Rabies. There are few countries in the developed world that are rabies free. These countries include UK, Australia, NewZealand, Germany and Fiji. Many states in United States and Canada are rabies free and those who are not their threat doesn’t come from stray dogs but from wild bates who has direct access to the disease vector in the deep forests. There is estimated 31,000 rabies deaths in Asia in which more than 50% happens in India. Unlike America or Canada these are not caused by Wild Bats but by Stray dogs. Research shows in India 99% of the rabies cases are caused through stray dogs. Now Pamela Anderson lives in her Multi Million Dollar mansions all around the developed nations and whenever she visits third world countries with her Mission to save rest of the species she travels around in the chauffeur driven limos. Same thing goes to Menaka Gandhi who lives in her big mansions and comes out into public with her deepest concern for the stray dogs. Ever thought they will ever be threatened by these stray dogs?
Consider a poor boy or girl who got bitten by a stray dog. Now if you are rich enough you can V-RG vaccine which can be administered into your veins. This is very expensive even for most middle class families in India. These kids have to go through the free diploid vaccine invented at the beginning of last century which is administered around the naval of these kids for 14 times. Miss Anderson has not went through this kind of pain even for her pregnancies neither for her enlargements of her body part which she think as the most vital in her body..
Remember if this vaccination is not applied then it is a definite death for the infected. There are only 3 known cases of rabies survival in the history of American medicine. However my intention is not to discuss how they survived. It was more to do with luck than medicine. Sometimes magic happens.
Now Rabies is one of those deadly things spread through Stray Dogs. Haven’t you read stories of small kids being attacked by streetdogs?.. If not how How many of you ever ridden a motorcycle or Scooter in a straydog stricken neighbourhoods in India?.. How many motorcycle accidents are caused by them?.. Now the death toll becomes more and more.
These things will not happen to Menaka or her son. But to the kids of poor men and women whose tax money is being spend on having a great life for this political snob like Menaka Gandhi who just tries to get attention at any cost.
Most civilization has to make laws for the minorities who try to grab attention through these kind of gimmicks of defending the rights of dogs who don’t have a voice?.. Don’t these kids who go through the painful process of diploid vaccine has a voice?.. Don’t those poor men who are in coma after the motorcycle accidents caused by streetdogs has a voice?.. Don’t these parents who lost their kids to the most painful deaths of rabies need a voice?.
Ms Anderson and Gandhi, Where is your love for human beings who suffer the adversities of these stray dogs?. Now Ms Anderson. If you want to raise your voice for stray dogs being a living creature. How about advocate for not killing viruses and bacterias?.. Don't you have Hepatitis B?.. Why don't you stop medication which kills these viruses in your system?.. Provide your unhealthy liver as the habitat for your love for a living being?..
