“Understanding Dog Aggression: SOP, Science, and the Truth”
Even a dog that bites is handled as per a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP).
A dog is kept under observation for 10–20 days.
Only if the dog shows symptoms of rabies is it shifted to a shelter or isolation.
If no rabies symptoms appear, the dog is released back into its territory.
Even in shelters:
If a dog does not bite anyone, it may be released back
Territorial or situational aggression alone is not a crime
If a dog behaves aggressively only in a particular area, the reason is often human cruelty, not the dog’s nature.
Many dogs become defensive because they are:
Chased by vehicles
Hit with sticks or objects
Pelted with stones
Kicked or intentionally scared
Dogs do not attack without reason.
They react to fear, pain, and repeated abuse.
Blaming the animal while ignoring human actions is not justice.
Follow science. Follow law. Show compassion.
A day after the said the roads should be clear of dogs as 'no one can read a canine's mind', actor Divya Spandana — popularly known as Ramya — asked whether by the same logic all men should be put in jail.
