Dogs are biting. Please help!!!

No. This time I am not writing to gain attention on myself, but on the stray dog menace.

I was pained to hear another incident of a child mauled to death by stray dogs. My heart cried seeing the baby's picture.

I am afraid of bringing up my baby in the city because of this stray dog menace. I am afraid to leave her alone on the road when she grows up.

I am afraid to take her out on a stroll which I enjoy the most. I have no plan yet in my mind as to what I would do when I am attacked by dogs.

I was very much afraid of dogs when I was pregnant.

Would vaccination and sterilization of dogs prevented what had happened to the eighteen month old???

These incidents are happening again and again. Why is silence still prevalent on the issue? Do we have anything on hand to counter this?

I was first bitten by a dog in Mysore. It was the day I turned eighteen. What? The dog didn’t like me becoming an adult? Back then I liked dogs and this incident didn't change my mind. It was not that horrifying too.

Then later in my third year of engineering I was bit by a dog of my classmate. Then too I didn't dislike them.

But now with series of such attacks I hate them. I am afraid of them.
