Dear Editor,
The population of dogs is increasing rapidly. As a result, the stray dog menace has assumed alarming proportions. Stray dogs are now no less than wild animals. They bite human beings, maul children and are a threat for senior citizens. They must live in jungles only. The people of the city are not trained to deal with attacks from dogs. The government must come to the rescue of the hapless citizens.
The government should construct dog homes near zoos or in zoos or shift the animals to jungles. All dogs found without a leash should be caught and put in these homes or jungles. Or, they could be sold as pets or exported.
The monkey menace is also on the rise. This problem too must be solved.
