Who is responsible for the stray animals in busy streets of Kathmandu: Farmers, locals or the municipality ?
 |
Until the yester days, finding stray dogs in streets and gallis of Kathmandu was not an unusual scene. No proper solution of this has emerged yet. To add up in this, we now see stray livestock in the busy streets of Kathmandu.

Animals, which are sometimes chewing the cud amidst heavy traffic, some being shooed away by the traffic police or the drivers and finally some heartless driver brutally hitting the animals. Death would mean freedom for the innocent animals but what if they survive? Will the hit ill animals get any medication? Let alone medicine, will they have anything to eat?
Farmers usually have a trend of throwing away any unproductive animals. Financially this may seem correct to them. But, being the most civilized animal in the society, isn’t it our duty to help our lower contemporaries?
Our municipality has been upgraded to Metropolitan and sub-metropolitan cities for considerable number of years now. What is the real impact of this upgradement? If they can’t do anything about the animals, can they at least shift them to the sub-urbs. They have a right to live; not amidst heavy traffic but somewhere they won’t be hit by vehicles or shooed away to nowhere….

the owners are to be blamed, the administration and municipality should not be blamed over this.
If im correct those pics were taken from India right? As far as i know cows are sacred in India and they can be anywhere even in the streets that is why you see them everywhere in India.
@ mrpatok: all of the images are from within Kathmandu valley in Nepal. If you have any images from India please do send it to us. We would be happy to add it here.
there is more problem by cattle in kathmandu and also outside kathmandu valley also.
my country, some time also have cow walking around here and there. block the traffic
This is really something different, in states we’re occupied with stray cats and dogs and now I can see that you have much bigger problems.
