CRUELTY, THY NAME IS MAN.

Acts of unkindness to flora and fauna are not a mere sign of a minor behaviour defect in the abuser; they are indicative of a profound mental illness. Research in criminology shows that the public who commit acts of cruelty to animals don’t stop there—many of them move on to their fellow humans. Murderers very often begin the trial by killing and torturing animals.

Violent and aggressive criminals are more likely to have abused animals as children than criminals who are considered non-aggressive. A survey of psychiatric patients who had tortured dogs found that all of them had high levels of hostility toward the public as well. It is believed that 100% of sexual homicide, offenders had a history of animal cruelty and a variety of serial killers and rapists.

A stray dog is best suitable for the climatic conditions of the place where you live which means they seldom fall sick. They don't require any medical expenses and grooming like brushing, shampooing or special dog food and tonics that a pedigree dog will need. A Street dog is just as much loyal, playful, caring, loving, and just as protective as any other rare breed. They will die protecting your family and will never hurt anyone in your house. For a colony stray dog, that colony is its family.

                      SUNDARAN [Mr. Handsome] and SUNDARI [Ms. Pretty] are the two lovable street dogs in P. S. Colony at Sabarigiri Hydroelectric Project, Moozhiyar, India, a project conceived by Allis Chalmers  - A Canadian Company- way back in the 1960s. Sundaran and Sundari are two ‘inmates’ of the colony with all residents as their family members. They used to roam everywhere in the colony which adjoins with thick forest inhabiting wild animals and venomous snakes. Occasionally, these wild animals and snakes enter the colony, creating panic among residents. Sundaran and Sundari bark at them with all might and alert their masters about the unauthorized entry. They join us when proceeding on a morning walk and rush on seeing us from far distance. They were omnipresent. They don’t mind coming to quarters for having food and always sleep at the center of colony road and politely move to the side when a vehicle comes.

             Both Sundaran and Sundari died last week. It is believed that some anti-social elements, who do not like the free will that both Sundaran and Sundari enjoy, might have poisoned them. They had no malice towards anybody, even to their killers.RIP
