Dogs

Often I noticed dogs in Bangalore have one hind leg up when they move around – most certainly a cruel reality of strays in the streets.

There are too many of them and they try to get scraps, competing with rats… Noticeably, I do not see cats much.

Sad realities to me but nothing to the locals. For example, the corner butcher shop offers fresh meat which means he has 2 goats tied [short leash] just outside his shop. chickens are cramped into 3 layers of small cages on another side. The animals, it has been confirmed, can smell death and they know the fate that awaits them. It is a sad reality that the goats can smell one of their own has been butchered and being man-handled.

Sorry, folks. I don’t mean to make you feel bad about eating meat – I eat meat too.
