I have a friend who is animal activist and have come to know about this fact from her.
The breed dogs which you see were exported in the past. Later the male and female breed dogs were breed ( made to mate ) on purpose to sell their pups ( for high rates ) to anyone who has the money to buy. These people who buy the pup for their good looks and cuteness later abandon them. Since they are sold to anyone with money, they don’t get if the buyer would take good care of the pets or not.
Indian dogs are a native of India. They are in India all their lives from the past till date, just like us Indians. But since they are local and the breed dogs make people feel like having high standard, people prefer breeds over Indian dogs. If u see, breed dogs suffer in Indian heat, they are not suited to our environment. Pugs especially became a hit because of the Vodafone ad and they cannot bear our heat. They have huge heart and cannot run too much, as it might cause then pain in the heart. No one knows about it, but they but pugs and torture them!
In India, pet breeding and selling has become a multi crore business. The female dog is made to breed again and again and again and again.. and each pup is sold , the rate rangers from 500 to 25000!!
These desi dogs referred to as Mongrels or Indian Dogs are used to our climate, have better health and are more resistant to diseases compared to breeds. The population in Chennai alone crosses more than 2 lakhs of Indian dogs. They need to get adopted and the population has to be controlled in the streets by ABC program ( animal birth control ) which is being done by all local animal organizations. By birth control, more pups are avoided from being abandoned in the streets. Several of these poor little pups end up getting killed by vehicles ( terribly painful death ) or die because of starvation or dehydration ( due to lack of clean water ). They get skin disease due to lack of nutrients ( they don’t even get a morsel of food a day ), imagine ourselves without food for days together, we can’t even walk right? These poor animals are forced to die daily because no one helps them!
Finally the people are opening their eyes and have started adopting Indian Dogs! Its discrimination just like how Blacks are not wanted and whites are preferred. Breeds are preferred over mongrels because its considered a status symbol. Educated people shun such discrimination and now take up a mongrel as their pet!
Every city in India has an animal welfare organization which are struggling to save animals as the population is too much!
There are certain deadly diseases like canine distemper and Parvo virus and rabies because of which these pups die horribly. They need to be vaccinated against diseases when they are a month old. Because they don’t have a mother ( the mother’s milk protects the babies ) , they are more prone to such diseases which don’t have a cure really!
So will you come ahead for the cause?

Boycotting milk might not end it. because even if we think WE the people can do anything there are many around us who would not be comfortable doing the same. The ones who are addicted to tea/coffee specially. So the better option is to find a milkman... |
