For example, India had to launch a PSA to tell people to stop defecating in the streets.

Another example, that country banned euthanizing stray dogs in the name of their gods. So now they have the largest stray dog population in the world (62 million) and twenty thousand of their people dying from rabies every year. Many of them children who are attacked by dogs while going to school.

So they changed the laws? Right? No. In fact, their animal rights activists protested when any government tried to cull the stray dog population, but then lament how sad it is that their kids are getting mauled by the dogs that they let roam their streets. It's willful ignorance and embrace of stupidity.

Here's a brief video summary of how things have been going down over in the Middle East for the last [since the dawn of human civilization], well before the British stuck their noses in it.

#17 You know rabies vaccines and trap, neuter, release programs exist, right?
Yeah, and I'm sure that the nation with an average income of $2,400/yr has the resources to do that. I dunno, maybe they should put that money into caring for their human beings. If Indians have the money to burn, maybe instead vaccinate some of those twenty THOUSAND Indians dying from rabies every single year.

No need to kill dogs.
They are 62 MILLION stray dogs that no one wants to care or accept responsibility for. Every non-religiously-kooky nation puts them down. Even the U.S. which has an average income of $77,000 a year. Rather than spend the resources on them. Not to mention the associated filth and danger of packs of dogs roaming the streets.

The animal rights activists were right. Don't be that scumbag. #29 | Posted by DarkVader
I'm a scumbag because I think it's reasonable to value human life and well-being over stray dogs? OK, you're right. I guess Indian lives aren't that important. #StrayDogLivesMatter

Actually, scratch that. Looks like some other nations have bought into to that philosophy as well. Like Taiwan, and with entirely predictable results: "City and county dog catchers are also leaving strays along mountain roads more often to avoid overburdening public shelters [...] Stretches of roads in the forested mountains outside Taipei teem with strays, some missing their fur. They might form packs to guard spots where dog lovers periodically drop off food. Packs sometimes menace passing hikers or bicyclists. [...] Overcrowded shelters risk the spread of disease and the odds of fights among dogs, occasionally to the death [...] His shelter has 400 dogs now, up from 300 before the euthanasia ban took effect. Three have died in fights over competition for space. "Our dogs are stressed. Our dogs are anxious," Gorski said. "Our dogs fight. We don't have anyone there at night. Sometimes our staff go in the morning and find a dead dog from a fight.""
