Why the Issue of Street Dogs in India Raises Serious Concerns
Global Rabies Vaccine Scenario
The World Health Organization (WHO) has certified only 18 companies worldwide for producing rabies vaccines. Among these, Bharat Biotech is the only Indian company recognized by WHO for its rabies vaccine last year.
India: Largest Consumer of Rabies Vaccines
India is the biggest consumer of rabies vaccines. The government spends crores of rupees every month not just on the vaccine itself, but also on storage, distribution, and administration. This underscores the need for controlling rabies effectively.
Dog Menace in India
Street dogs in India are not just a public nuisance but also a serious health risk. Dog bites are common in both urban and rural areas, leading to injuries and potential rabies transmission. Aggressive street dogs can frighten tourists, affecting public safety and India's tourism image.
About Rabipur Vaccine
Rabipur is a leading WHO-approved rabies vaccine available in India. It is widely used for post-exposure prophylaxis and is recognized globally for safety and efficacy. Vaccines like Rabipur are essential given the high incidence of dog bites in India.
The Rabies Vaccine Mafia
The term vaccine mafia refers to the global network of pharmaceutical companies and intermediaries that profit massively from vaccines, including rabies vaccines. With billions invested in production, certification, and global distribution, these entities have a vested interest in maintaining high demand. In India, where the government spends crores of rupees monthly on rabies vaccines like Rabipur, this network benefits significantly from the continued presence of stray dogs. Critics argue that foreign-funded organizations and expensive legal lobbying may indirectly serve these interests, ensuring that the stray dog problem—and the corresponding need for vaccines—persists.
Foreign Influence and Legal Lobbying
Expensive lawyers, including Kapil Sibal and Abhishek Manu Singhvi, have reportedly been hired by PETA International for crores of rupees. This raises the question: Is PETA acting as part of a global "deep state" network to protect multi-billion dollar vaccine interests by influencing Indian policy?
Why Is India Not Allowed to Become Stray Dog-Free?
Despite repeated efforts to control stray dog populations, campaigns by foreign-funded organizations like PETA seem to prevent India from effectively eliminating the stray dog menace. Why does PETA, which has its headquarters in the US and Europe where there are virtually no street dogs, oppose similar measures in India?
The Global Context
There are virtually no street dogs on the roads of Europe or America. PETA International does not run similar campaigns in these countries, raising questions about their motives in India.
Impact on Tourism and Safety
Foreign visitors are often warned about the risks posed by street dogs in India. For instance, Finnish engineers traveling to India were advised to carry syringes and rabies vaccines due to aggressive street dogs. The dog menace directly affects India's tourism sector and public safety.
Political Awareness and Vaccine Interests
Understanding these global dynamics is critical. Investments by international organizations in the stray dog issue in India appear linked to protecting multi-billion dollar rabies vaccine markets and influencing public health policies.
