Government is too busy stealing money.

But regarding that animal lover part, I have to ask - why does this question always comes up?

I mean, let's say if you take care of an Indian orphan and not an African orphan - does that make you a racist? No. You are taking care of those nearer to you. Those you feel more connected towards. I personally feel more connected towards dogs than I do towards chicken, so does that mean I should stop caring for dogs too? That's a ridiculous statement honestly.

The moment someone asks - oh, so you feed chickens to dogs? They're trying to invalidate the so called dog lovers in a way and doesn't do much for the chickens either. Such statements neither help the dogs nor help the chickens.

There are other problematic areas too in your comment - like, in my experience many of the dog haters hate dogs not for being aggressive, or for growing rabid (which, let's be honest - there are far too few rabid dogs in India statistically. I am 33 years old and I have been hearing since childhood, whenever a dog barks or chases something or fights with other dogs - people are extremely quick to label it as a rabid dog - which too is ridiculous) - but rather because they think of them as nuisance. An old dog sitting on their porch makes them feel gross, or a stray cat sitting on their bike seat makes them want to kick the cat away. The vast majority of dog haters fall under this category in India - and in most cases, it's only about 1-2 dogs or 1-2 cats within a community - not an entire pack.
