Ram Gopal Varma strong counter to dog lovers. It is known that the Supreme Court came up with a strong directive to the Delhi government to control the menace of stray dogs. The Supreme Court took this decision following the stray dog menace which resulted in numerous deaths across the country.
Following the Supreme Court order, pet lovers and NGOs started protesting against the court stating that they cannot be so cruel to the dogs. In the midst of all this, maverick director Ram Gopal Varma known for his frank and bold talk came up with a powerful counter to pet lovers.
He posted the following questions
Here are my 10 points addressing the DOG LOVERS who are UPSET about the SUPREME COURT’S decision on STRAY DOGS
1. People are being bitten and killed all over by stray dogs. And dog lovers are busy tweeting about dog rights.
2. You can love your pets in your luxury homes . But it’s insensitive to preach compassion to the stray dog’s victims and their loved ones
3. Rich people pet Hi breeds. Poor people get mauled and killed by strays. That’s the class divide dog lovers don’t talk about.
4. If a man kills, he’s a murderer. If a dog kills, you call it an “accident.” So does that mean people killing like animals can also be called accident?
5. You weep for dogs, but not for dead humans...I never knew Sympathy can be so selective.
6. Instead of Dog lovers saying “don’t kill strays.” Why don’t you take them off the streets and adopt them all. Is it because, they are low bred, dirty, disease oriented or you don’t want to endanger your loved ones?
7. Compassion without justice is not compassion. It’s cruelty wrapped in self-righteousness.
8. Stray dogs don’t attack inside gated communities. They attack where no gates exist.
9. A mother watches her child being bitten to death . Why don’t you create a hashtag for her too? Not only dogs, maybe all animals have a right to live , but can that be at the expense of human lives ?
