I already grumbled about funds lost to make ugly statues. The average cost of neutering a male dog..............yeah...that one....will help some... Only the consumable costs....can be covered. The rest, we the volunteers can be called, and asked to take up the job... We need to be trained.... Something needs to be done about this as soon as possible... Things are getting pretty out of hand... Especially in areas where there is no traffic. One of the watchmen who looks after a dog said, he saved her from wolves during COVID times....I guess he was exaggerating. Maybe larger dogs...hungry strays.... Net net............things need some attention.... To Americans Australians Brits, French folks, whichever nation you belong to, and give money to India as AID...PLEASE PUT CONDITIONS... Show us improvement in a. Drop in human population from ........... to .............. if you want this much aid b. Show us reduction in stray dog population from .................. to .................. for this much aid c. Show us drop in crime rates from............... to ...............if you want this much AID d. Show us drop in court cases from................. to ................. if you want this much AID e. Show us drop in rabid dogs from................... to .............. if you want this much AID. We the educated have no control over our politicians. I sure am glad that Donald Thump stopped some AID.....I can't be bleeding taxes while loans and aids are taken from other countries to build statues or undertake foreign travel or get temporary tourists... Democracy as it stands in my country does not work...we need AK47 type of democracy.

I remember reading once that not all countries are ready for democracy. Certainly where there is corruption, things can go badly wrong. And if people are prepared to abide by the majority, then democracy isn't going to work.

All aid has quid pro quo. So..I am giving you this.... you have to buy this from us.... and no other country...or let us have a military base in your country etc. Who pays the price? We. Apart from this, there is invisible part called kickbacks... Some aid, like in the Ukraine....comes with the price of some benefits later on... America tried to get rare earths from Ukraine for so much Aid... Nothing is ever free. It is silly to feel happy....oh this leader got us this from the US, this from UK, this from Australia... All that empathy is eyewash...there is untold story...

You're expressing a lot of frustration and concern about the allocation of resources and the welfare of stray animals in your community. It's understandable to feel strongly about these issues.
