All of you “bow” to the nude ladies.

Yesterday BBC reported a news item about Pamela Anderson’s letter to the Municipal Commissioner of Mumbai. Before going any further into PETA, POTA, PEDA, SAMOSA etc, let me tell you that I am not a huge fan of such organisations except for the fact that they get celebrities to shed their clothes off pretty much without breaking a sweat. Although these organisations increase awareness among people regarding animals that are facing extinction, I have not read a piece of news in which an animal right activist group has proactively done anything to save any animal. I seriously suspect the very basis of existence of such organisations is to get good looking girls out there in the “open”. If my suspicion is true, I really am sorry for what follows.

A big warm Fuck you to all the so called pseudo animal lovers out there. I have listened and read through many debates on stray dog killing in many parts of India including the vehement vocal diarrhoea of another female similar to Pam although she never sheds any clothes. Yes Sir I am talking about Maneka Gandhi. All these shmucks come up with protests, interviews, debates and what not when a Municipality takes some action to control the number of stray dogs in a city. These so called animal lovers can ramble about how it is inhuman to kill a rabid dog or to kill stray dogs to prevent attack on human beings, when they travel around in their “oh so posh” luxury cars and have all their needs fulfilled by their servants. These morons do not understand the plight of a common man who has to actually walk on the streets or ride on them on a bike or a cycle.

I live in Bangalore and I have to wake up to news articles saying 1 year old babies have been bitten to death, old people wounded severely and bike riders having accidents caused by stray dogs. I have a question to all these SAMOSA parties, what about these people? Do you feel sympathy only towards rabid dogs? Hmm love for nude girls and rabid dogs. Have the thought crossed your mind that you might need help? My tasteless sarcasm aside, what have you people done to keep cities like Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai etc to resolve this issue? It is very easy to blame the government for not controlling the stray dog population in the cities. What should the government do? Send half of their staff out to catch dogs and sterilise them? Spend money that they have set aside for various other works to tag dogs and make sure that the ones that copulate are sterilised? If Pamela Anderson or for that matter any rich celebrity feels so strongly about the stray dogs, and wants the government of some developing country to do something about it, they should just go and donate half of her earnings to the Municipalities so that they don’t have to look into the sky and weep when the Court orders them to catch hold of the dogs and sterilise them. I have a big circle of friends and many of them including me love animals and almost all of us hate Maneka Gandhi with much passion. It is not because she loves animals; it is because of the fact that she springs into action only when there is some publicity associated with it. People like her are a real hindrance to a dream of our streets ever being safe for people like me. Many of us are genuinely afraid to walk the small galis of Bangalore after 10 pm. It is not because of the threat of mugging but the threat that a pack of 10-15 stray dogs might attack you. Like I said before it is easy for these celebrities to get out of their clothes and preach about not killing stray dogs but when you look into it these people have not done anything for a cause they feel so strongly about.

If Pamela had made a donation of say 10,000 $ to the municipality, which would not have been very difficult for her, I would have had some respect for her. Instead she writes a letter saying dogs cannot wear condoms. I wonder if their next demand would be to allocate additional staff during the dog mating season so that they can hide in small bushes and pounce on the dog holding a packet of Kamasutra/Moods/Durex when it gets ready to do the business because clearly these celebs will not allow the dogs to be killed and our government is not rich enough to throw money away to sterilise and tag every stray dog in India.

I have one request to all the pseudo animal lovers out there. Go ahead and love the animals in whichever way you want, I would not question that. But if you guys have ever used a mosquito coil in your house do not stand and complain when my municipality is taking steps to make me feel safe you fucking hypocrites. Also if you want people to take you seriously, please nude girls is not the solution. If you have not learned it by now dont learn it any time soon and keep the nude girls coming. We shall always “bow wow” to them and you but we will always say fuck you too.
