The solution is empathy. The solution is teaching your kids to be kind and empathetic. So basically teaching empathy to the next generation at least and being empathetic yourself and being kind to the plight of starving beings. It could be any being. Be it human, anything that has a life, deserves respect, and deserves to share this land as much as we do. So I think the solution is coming slowly. So many wonderful people and NGOs are working hard for the cause of animals and also allocating areas where we can go and put homeless pets and abandoned pets. It would be amazing if there were more NGOs who come forward and lend a helping hand.

Animals are vulnerable and need extra care and concern. I feel they should be protected and more awareness to safeguard them is a good way to ensure their well-being. Arranging for dog sheds and providing essentials will be a great action. Love and care is the basic thing I feel is needed.

It is disheartening to see that despite our efforts, we still encounter starved dogs on the streets and witness the mistreatment of animals by some individuals. The solution to this ongoing issue is multifaceted, and it requires a collective effort from individuals, communities, governments, and organizations. As actors, we spotlight the stories that move hearts, but it's our actions offstage that can truly change the world for animals. Let's use our voices and influence to drive compassion, change attitudes, and protect the voiceless.

I can't distinguish between the behaviour of humans and animals these days. It's disheartening to think about why we were created as humans by God, so we can reflect on this and work towards betterment. People need to be aware of what to do with dogs around. First and foremost, we need to stop violence and cruelty towards dogs. I believe there should be shelter homes for dogs in every area, similar to ashrams for humans. Animals are also living beings with emotions. It's all about changing our perspective, running awareness campaigns, and encouraging individual contributions. We should start thinking about animals with empathy, just as we do for fellow humans.

If you love God, you must also love His creations. Humans often forget that God has created not only the world but also animals and all living beings. The solution lies in addressing this issue at a government level. Our constitution mandates taking care of stray dogs and animals, but these provisions are often ignored. The government should create open spaces and enforce accountability for those who harm animals. We must learn to peacefully coexist with all creatures and prioritize creating facilities for them.
