Dogs in India

I have not seen a single dog or puppy loitering the street in the US, but sadly in India many dogs are stray and abandoned. Most streets are filled with dogs biting themselves, and in fact they can dangerously cause disease. However, most laws in India ban treating animals cruelly. Still, as it evolves as a country, these important morals are getting left behind. The government is not at all caring for this menace. For example, I read a story on the Internet saying that a guard in Noida shot a dog just because it was barking at him. The guard himself was shocked that he did this action. Because of the cruelty against animals in India (note that other countries around the globe also treat animals badly) he must have instinctively thought that it was okay. This story gives a stand to treat animals fairly just like humans. Not only dogs, but other animals like elephants, zebras, and dolphins should not be abused or beaten up. To keep in mind, countries like Japan and China kill dolphins and sharks for food. These poor animals don't even kill humans;only about five humans get killed by sharks in a year! These messages all together tell me to care for animals just like a person. They have a heart, and that is what makes someone a being. <3
