'Government
Needs
To
Take
A
Stand'
Aindrita
told
TOI,
"The
government
needs
to
take
a
stand
and
make
stricter
laws
for
the
voiceless.
Their
lives
matter
just
as
much
as
ours.
People
seem
to
not
care
for
them.
Take
the
case
of
the
recent
culling
of
nearly
100
dogs
in
Telangana.
This
is
not
a
one-off
incident.
Other
states
are
following
suit,
as
it
is
an
easy
way
of
handling
the
issue.
I've
seen
so
many
dogs
being
caught
in
Bengaluru
and
one
really
does
not
know
what
happens
to
them
thereafter."
Furious
With
The
Recent
Case
"Often,
after
one
incident
of
a
dog
bite,
stray
canines
from
the
entire
area
are
whisked
away,
never
to
be
seen
again.
Would
we
behave
the
same
way
when
a
human
commits
a
crime?
One
bite
or
bark
should
not
result
in
the
disappearance
of
all
dogs
in
an
area.
Sometimes,
even
the
puppies
aren't
spared,"
she
further
added.
Aindrita
Provided
Tips
The
actress
went
on
to
give
a
few
tips,
that
could
help
in
resolving
the
issue.
She
said,
"The
Bruhat
Bengaluru
Mahanagara
Palike
needs
to
strictly
implement
the
ABC
programme.
Even
if
the
authorities
falter
at
effectively
implementing
it,
animal
lovers
in
each
locality
can
take
up
the
responsibility
of
neutering
the
dogs."
Adoption
Should
Be
Prioritised
Urging
the
fans
and
public
to
adopt
stray
dogs,
she
added,
"Adoption
of
stray
dogs
has
to
become
a
priority.
The
authorities
should
implement
programmes
that
encourage
adoption
of
strays.
Giving
them
forever
homes
is
a
definite
way
to
solving
the
menace."
