Tracking down India's killer dogs - BBC News

Many people in Leh in northern India are too scared to leave their home at night because of the number of rabid dogs on the streets.
So why isn’t India doing more to tackle the problem?
BBC South Asia correspondent Justin Rowlatt reports.

[@abcxyz-]

Dude, street dogs only attack if they see something fishy. Most of those like you who visit India are too scared of street dogs and start quivering. That's when the dogs attack. I have been to thousands of places and encountered thousands of street dogs and none has bitten me. A few growled when I used to act scared and that's it. Also, those street dogs who attack or bite someone are immediately captured by tolfa. If you complain, all the dogs in your locality will be taken by government. But people don't complain as street dogs give protection against thieves and are always attentive.

I was attacked by 8-9 dogs at 5:30 am in morning while i went for a jog, i was passing by the territory of dogs who used to sleep near the temple. It was dark ,deserted and empty road.While passing by a dog out of nowhere started to charge at me for no reason i suddenly stopped and stood their like stone but the other dogs soon followed charging on me one after another, my heart was beating so loudly at this moment i was scared and there was no one around to help me, but somehow inside me i got the feeling that I'm strong and fearless these dogs are no match for me, i will not turn into a pu**y who would get Bitten by these dogs so that's when I grabbed a brick nearby and started charging on them screaming like a gorilla me vs 9 dogs , that's when the dogs realised they made a mistake and started running in opposite directions, Luckily I was not Bitten and i continued my jog. These dogs attacked me once again after a week but i was not sacred I did the same thing and later next day i brought some biscuits as a gesture of peace and it worked now they don't even bother me 😀.

Reason may be one of their child would have been killed by a reckless motorcycle driver. Animals are far better than filthy humans, they don't attack ,until someone harms them . They don't possess self-consciousness, by which they can differentiate, a member of human society attacked them ,killed their children killed them with vehicles, the next time they hear or see a accelerating vehicle they chase it. The problem is with people, not with them , we people should be punished The problem is still the same as it was 4 years ago, though in many cities of country sterilization of street animals is ongoing, But the question is why they move to streets ?locals need to think it ,the solution lies with them .

I have seen puppies pelting stones at dogs only for fun in fact most dogs are scared of children than adults. I have seen kids lifting puppies by their tails and ears and kicking them like football. But I have never seen dogs retaliate not once but I wish they do, so that these kids could learn a lesson. And all these things happen while parents stand and watch. FYI, there's a channel here on KZbin called Animals Aid Unlimited India, - you can see rescuers going to save dogs that are scared, in extreme pain and most of all they don't know what these people would do with them but they never bite, not even once. According to statistics by Indian government, you can see around 90% of the bites and attacks are result of rabies. As for rest 10%, these dogs are severely abused and tortured only then they bite for self defence. But I do really wish these dogs should retaliate more but they don't.

The aggressive ones need to be put down without a doubt because they will attack humans, other dogs, and can push what would be a non aggressive dog into one. The reason dogs are typically human friendly is because we breed the aggression out of them and raised them by our sides allowing the friendly passiveness to be dominant, if they are just free roaming and breeding themselves then of course the strongest and more aggressive are going to start out breeding and killing the friendlier dogs and even going for humans.

It reduces the population and makes sure that the ones out there are more likely to be human friendly.

When I lived in Guatemala one of the small villages had this problem. I was almost attacked by a pack of wild dogs once myself. Luckily I happened to have a large dog and a metal pipe with me at the time, so they backed off. Scary moment though. Eventually, the town elders started getting rid of them by feeding them poisoned meat every few months or so. Sadly, a dog I was friendly with wasn't kept indoors during the night in question and must have died as well. I never saw her again.

I lived in Guatemala for a year and the stray dog problem is huge over there too. There was a street close by my Uncle's house were I was staying where a group of like 4-5 stray dogs would hang out I think the neighbors would feed them and they even made them houses to guard. Ya my friends and I would always pass in our bikes trying to see if they would bite us trying to go as fast as we could since the street was on a hill. Ya it was fun and all but I'm pretty sure if one of us was to fall somebody was gonna get killed. Everywhere you would look stray dogs the scary thing is not knowing if they have rabies. I heard that a city got so tired of them in Guatemala that the people would poison the dogs by putting the poison in the trash which the dogs would then eat.

I know this is a kinda weird question to ask, but are these pack of dogs more common near major places in Ladakh (Leh/ and popular tourist spots) or are they everywhere in Ladakh? I see pictures of Ladakh and there are many places where it seems completely isolated. Are there wild dogs in such places too? I actually want to camp in Ladakh with my dog. I feel he would enjoy the cold climate, he probably hates the 40 C climate where I am right now lol. I don't know how he'll interact with mountain dogs since he's never met any. Don't want to risk it though so I'm trying to find whether it's possible to camp around avoiding these pack of mountain dogs. Do you think it's possible to find such places in Ladakh? I'm not interested in visiting the popular spots, just want to enjoy the climate

Most people that lived here recently don't realise how racist UK was, in 1999 till 2013 it was one of the most racists places Indians could live in, my grandad used to get eggs thrown at him while walking back home, they also threw it on my dad's car and my dad chased after them and they ran like cowards. Of course some of the british love the Indian community and culture but I am talking about the ignorant ones that are racists.

Strays do not attack without provocation unless they are rabid. If you walk with a stick in your hands strays will get suspicious and might bark at you out of their insecurity. To top it up if you do something more provicative they might attack. Just leave them alone and they wont attack you . A vast majority are docile. They attack only if they feel threatened or if you try to break a dog fight. Strays are treated very badly in India yet they are often very loving. Most of them can be won over with little affection and some food. Indians do not know how to deal with strays they do not understand their body language and end up provoking strays out of their anxiety.
