Stray dogs and cats in Bengaluru never attack humans unless their lives are in danger. They are fed by residents of that area and some are adopted. They are part of an active neutering program and their population in the city will be controlled eventually. In case you find them reproducing, please get in touch with BBMP office. Also there are many volunteer organisations to help with neutering. It is our duty to take care of them, to get them neutered, vaccinated, treated, fed and adopted as they have served our ancestors when wild life roamed freely and law and order was not in so much control.
If they become sick there are places such as cupa, karuna shelter and many more who will treat and release them back. In some cases they find adopters while at the shelter.
In some rare cases there are stray dogs that attack or are hostile to humans, such as growling etc. This most likely occurred due to trauma, torture etc inflicted upon them in the past. These dogs must be identified and shifted to the shelter permanently. BBMP, Cupa, Karuna all have ambulances and relocation facilities. However they will not do it to all dogs, only for the aggressive ones.
Domesticated animals are part of Indian way of life, the Indian pariah or stray as they are called are aboriginal to this land and are indispensable to humans when adopted. Even today they are a blessing by protecting premises, giving much needed company, leading a trail, playing with the entire family etc.
