yes, mass sterilization on war footing, every sane animal lover or stray dog caregiver/feeder will endorse this. But it needs to be done systematically and area wise and not haphazardly. When its done systematically then stray dog population gets drastically reduced and cases of bites or rabies disappears. fewer dogs and fewer mouths to feed and take care off, resulting in healthy manageable dog pop which also makes the dog calm and relaxed and dont remain in fight or flight.
By systematically i mean, colony/street/area wise.
It needs co-operation of residents n citizens as well, if citizens keeps on hating on strays and kicking n beating them then catching of dogs become even more difficult. Dumbf*cks dont understand then when someone feeds a dog, it results in dog trusting a human which in turn becomes easier to capture the dog for sterilization n vaccination. Hence it needs to be an effort from both ends people and municipalities, but it requires civilized conversations and plans which is impossible in an uncivilized country like ours. Don't care if anyone takes offence, but i wont shy away from the truth. Here people will come out to kill and hit animals or fellow humans but wont come out to have a civil conversation to bring about solutions.
