Sample response:
"why should one react to violence with violence? i think there are some NGOs or animal homes which can be informed and they will take the dogs away... plus,you should have a meeting with the members of your locality to find a mutual solution,which is peaceful as well..... people of ur locality shud jointly meet the concerned authorities and be assertive & stern while demanding the removal of these dogs to some animal home....but dont kill them for god's sake!it's inhuman."
HUH?! Am I the only person who thinks that this reflects some VERY screwed up cultural priorities?!
