what about all those people who kill other people, do they deserve to live or die?

you sir,
are someone who really needs to get bitten by a rabid dog.

This is not about whether dogs have a right to live. If these women really care about hte dogs, they would see to it that the dogs are not living on the streets spreading disease amongst themselves and humans. Even human beings do not have the right to spread diseases to each other. These women should pay for dog shelters and dog catchers.

@ nimal - who ever u are.. colomba hathe nonala hari me prashne gana duk wena eka gana prashnayakda? its because of people like you that the society deteriorates ...
enough people are concerned about children in rural areas.. are u all saying that people shouldn't worry about animals..
this world belongs to both humans and animals. ..
you should learnt to respect that..and bloody hell if you can't .. just shut up and mind your own business when other people do..
if you are so concerned about rural children i would like to see a protest on behalf of them happening here..people like you are those who just sit in your comfortable seats as if nothing is going wrong and just slander anybody you see fit...
if u cant sympathize, pls no one will bother if you mind your own business.

don't forget a dog is MAN's best friend okay? not a WOMAN's best friend

gayan Thursday, 21 June 2012 10:38 AM

actually they ARE the people who run these shelters. I guess you are not someone who would do such a thing

gayan Thursday, 21 June 2012 10:40 AM

Nush Thursday, 21 June 2012 08:23 AM

This is a protest for the dogs. If you wish to start a protest and do something for the children in rural areas, please do so. No one is stopping you.

I suppose you spoke to one of those women then? Or else how would you know if they were doing it for fun? Grow up mate. Don't judge a picture, unless you were in it.

Silva Thursday, 21 June 2012 07:26 AM

If you possible to take time to do something for children in rural area. it would be great........

Atleast they seem to be doing something, other than bickering about it online.

nimal Thursday, 21 June 2012 04:53 AM

kolomba hathey nonalata gedera wena weda nethuwata.

alfreda de silva Thursday, 21 June 2012 06:27 AM

so you advocate getting rid of all stray living beings? More proof this is NOT a Buddhist country

ind Thursday, 21 June 2012 06:13 AM

OK. If you bring all the dengue mosquitoes I will kill all of them at once !!

Lalin Thursday, 21 June 2012 06:10 AM

Dogs on the road are a menace to every one using the road. Can we request the ladies who are demonstrating to come up with a solution? The solution should result in no dogs on the road!

Shiva Thursday, 21 June 2012 06:00 AM

CRAZY.!

Marikkar Thursday, 21 June 2012 05:58 AM

Look at the faces!!! No Symptoms of Sympathy! Just doing for fun!!!

Buddhadasa Thursday, 21 June 2012 05:42 AM

Is it better if human beings die of rabies or is it better for the dog to die? If it is better for human beings to die then don't kill dengue mosquitoes also. Both kill people.

Bobby Pereira Thursday, 21 June 2012 05:46 AM

Because women have more wisdom and compassion than men.

Wara Thursday, 21 June 2012 05:37 AM

They love dogs !!!!!!

paksha Thursday, 21 June 2012 05:32 AM

why only woman participation here?

zava Thursday, 21 June 2012 05:05 AM

Can you accommodate all Stray dogs @ your Home

Sapumal Sri Thursday, 21 June 2012 05:12 AM

I Propose that to set an example, each of these women should take at least 7 stray dogs to their homes and look after them. Then we also will join to support your cause !
