Ever since the Supreme Court’s verdict to put all the stray dogs in the Delhi-NCR region into shelters, many Bollywood celebs have condemned the decision, saying that this is not the correct way to tackle the situation.
Now, filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has something to say to all those animal lovers. The Sarkar maker said that while people are being bitten and killed by stray dogs, the dog lovers are busy tweeting about dog rights.
He added that while there is no harm in loving your pets within the house, it is insensitive to preach compassion to the victims of stray dogs and their loved ones. The director also pointed out: “Rich people pet Hi breeds. Poor people get mauled and killed by strays. That’s the class divide dog lovers don’t talk about.” The Rangeela maker asked a pertinent question to all the animal lovers out there, saying, “If a man kills, he’s a murderer. If a dog kills, you call it an “accident.” So does that mean people killing like animals can also be called an accident?” (IANS)
