DOG POPULATION GONE ASTRAY
BY DR ROSARIO MENEZES
It has been conclusively established that, in India, it is the stray
dogs infesting public areas that are responsible for transmitting the
rabies infection. India is perhaps one of the few nations in the world
which permits stray dogs to infest roads, market places and beaches,
giving precedence to dogs over human life and safety. As a consequence,
India has acquired the infamous and shameful reputation of contributing
to the highest number of deaths from rabies in the world - one death
from rabies every thirty minutes, according to a report by
APCRI/National Institute of Communicable Diseases.
