Thanks but no thanks Linda Allen Clifton. I don’t need your prayers. I suppose you’re one of those people who sits at a distant passing judgments on what others do. But it is all right because you have the right to pass judgments on random strangers in the net you haven’t even met let alone know as a “supposed human of superior intelligence”

You called me mean spirited, I was only giving a practical solution to our very real problem . What do you suppose we do? Spend our limited resources on building dog compounds? There are places in Bhutan where people walk for days just to get to the nearest motorable road. There are places in Bhutan where school children under five have to walk for hours through jungles just to get to a school. As “humans of superior intelligence” you want us to build dog shelters instead of roads, schools, hospitals?. ..Yeah that would be super intelligent.

Sure I agree that we have to look after other species on this earth and “all will perish” if we don’t. But this is stray dogs we are talking about not some endangered wild geese. Killing a few hundred would hardly make a difference to the dog population.

If you think it over it is best for the dogs too. They would die a painless instant death rather than being tortured for life in an enclosed cage.

So I still believe that we should kill the dogs.

Oh my it is so hard to read the words from hardtruth above much less what the Bhutan Observer printed. We, the supposed ‘humans’ of questionable superior intelligence must be good stewards of this earth and it’s occupants, be them man or animal or we shall all perish ~ forever in shame.

It is extremely sad there are such shallow, mean spirited ‘people’ walking this earth. I shall pray for them.

Why does eveything have to be interpreted from a Buddhist point of view. I am tired and sick of the hypocrisy. Why can’t we just accept that the dog problem arosed because of the same buddhist sentiments. If People would go for mass culling like they are suppose to then this problem wouldn’d have come up. (The British experiment was not a failure. If they hadnt done what they did then the figure would have been worse). I say kill the damn dogs and our problems are solved.
