RE:Neutering of male dogs is the solution!

There are 70,000 dogs in Hyderabad. That's the official estimate. The hyderabad local govt could make a provision to neuter only 2,000 stray dogs. There are 14,000 stray dogs in Bhubaneswar, the local govt could make provision only for 5,000 stray dogs. At this rate, I wonder if we are not fooling ourselves thinking that neutering will solve problems! (I am not making any reference to you, please note, I am refering to Indians in general).
As a citizen of this country I also think that the municipality rather spent time and money and manpower on mending roads, on enhancing the garbage disposal system, on planting trees and parks and gardens, on creating better sewage systems, on covering manholes (enough people have lost their lives in manholes) rather than waste time and money on stray dogs! That money could be used for education of street children, giving small term loans to financially poor people for self employment, infact, even increasing the pay of the local govt officials themselves, and instead of spending money on stray dogs, spend it on health awareness and medical facilities for the urban poor, for slum dwellers. They need and deserve that money much more than dogs. ... The list is endless.
