'Adopt or don't feed': Delhi resident calls dog-lovers the 'worst' and sparks debate on feeding strays

Delhi resident recently shared his frustration about dog lovers, expressing that if someone truly cares for dogs, they should adopt them rather than just feed them. His concerns arose after a stray dog bit his house help, a dog that his neighbour regularly feeds outside the Redditor’s doorstep. He took to social media to voice his opinion, warning about the risks associated with feeding stray dogs, particularly the threat of diseases they may carry.

He highlighted that this was not the first time such an incident had occurred in his locality. Several housemaids and delivery personnel had already been bitten before, and in one unfortunate case, a woman lost her life due to a dog attack. The situation has left him deeply concerned about the safety of people in his building, especially those who rely on daily wages to support their families.

The resident also pointed out the dangers of rabies, emphasizing that even with vaccinations, the disease remains fatal. He urged people to be more responsible when feeding stray dogs, suggesting that if they must provide food, they should do so away from residential areas to prevent the risk of attacks.

In his view, feeding stray dogs near homes can create a nuisance, making it unsafe for people going about their daily lives. He called for greater awareness and action, asking people to consider the consequences of their actions before putting others at risk.
