In your neighbourhood, you might come across a handful of people who make it a point to feed the stray dogs in the area. If they do it on a regular basis, then you would notice that the dogs rush towards them after spotting them and gather around in the same exact spot to have food. However, there are a lot of people who raise objections towards the act of people feeding stray dogs because the very presence of the dogs in their vicinity tends to scare them.
Here’s an example. A woman in Noida got into a heated argument with older men residing in her apartment complex over feeding stray dogs inside the premises of the complex. While she defends the right to feed stray dogs, she also becomes a bit too loud and abusive while speaking with the residents. Here’s a look at a video capturing this incident:
I'm glad this woman stood her ground against a pack of uncles that objected to her feeding some poor doggos. More power to people like her who care for voiceless animals 🙏 pic.twitter.com/2KXXx02knQ

On the one hand, there were people who came to her support and said that those who feed stray dogs shouldn’t be harassed or penalised.
More power to you girl 👏

What this woman has gone through is pure bullying, harassment, humiliation and criminal intimidation.
Please note, the video has been outed by one of the uncles with the express intention that this woman is publicly humiliated and her social reputation destroyed. Shame on each…

On the other hand, there were those who slammed the woman for behaving poorly with elderly men of her housing complex and creating a dangerous environment for children by giving stray dogs access into the housing complex.
This is not gutsy. When you feed dogs in a certain space, they start seeing that space as their turf and become extremely insecure and aggressive about anything else entering that space such as children and other dogs

But if there is a designated place to feed the strays why can’t she feed them there?

I am perfectly ok with she standing up , problem is tone and language.. thankfully these are uncles, if someone takes offense on the tone and language,then situation can go out of hand .

And will she also vaccinate them? What if those dogs bite a kid or anyone in the society will she pay for the injections? Will she be held responsible if anyone gets rabies. I understand ur love for animals but with love should come responsibilities for other people around u.…

Sorry, your post is only one-sided! In reality, news of children & older people being attacked by stray dogs often surfaces on social media, Dog bites in children are often unreported because they are afraid of speaking. Whether accepted or not this is a serious safety issue.

Let me clarify. I love dogs .
But this girl is not gutsy, she is plainly unreasonable and manner less. All societies have a pet feeding place. If not marked, feed them outside the society. Stray dogs can be a menace to kids and ppl.

I was agreeing with her till they explicitly mentioned abt the designated place to feed dogs. Nd then she just went to the wrong side.
Even our kids r taught to eat only at the designated placein the house- dining table.
Its just discipline. Not hatred against kids.
Same for…
