Happy to share my research article on piracy monetisation models and industrial pathways on Telegram, published in Contemporary South Asia, a @tandfonline journal, for a special issue on Locating Digital Cultural and Creative Industries in India https://t.co/FRND0B7GuP

@sanjay_saigal @ShekharGupta @SagrikaKissu @TheLancet why are they laughably unreal? and why are you deflecting from the real issues at hand
- also rabies can be caused by any mammal - including rats - no granularity on this front either

[Meghna Bal @BalMeghna]

@sanjay_saigal @ShekharGupta @SagrikaKissu @TheLancet We are calling for humane, science-backed reduction of numbers - ABC works wherever it is implemented - where has all the money allocated for it over the years gone? why no accountability?

[Meghna Bal @BalMeghna]

@sanjay_saigal @ShekharGupta @SagrikaKissu @TheLancet It wasn't selective focus - the govt cited some random figures in court when its own figures said this - And to has consistently neglected implementing ABC and ARV which you seem to be conveniently forgetting - this is the only headline

India doesn’t have a stray dog problem — it has a governance problem.
20 years of failed ABC, corruption, zero oversight & policy chaos created this crisis.
The solution isn’t hate.
It’s science: 70%+ sterilisation & vaccination.

these bears are a level above endangered - how does shooting them on sight make sense - surely there are smarter, more effective ways to manage this conflict

[Meghna Bal @BalMeghna]

no country for any animals aside from humans it seems - the appalling onslaught continues

This is the best 90-second story you’ll see all week

An 1,800-pound walrus named Wally got lost, drifted 2,500 miles from the Arctic, and started napping on random boats in Ireland… sinking a few of them People panicked, then someone built him his own floating couch so he’d leave everyone’s yachts alone.

22 days later he casually swam home to Iceland like nothing had happened.

Well done New Zealand, Britain urgently needs to do the same

Thank you @PeepalFarm for this video of #Gukesh the Champ.
It shows high IQ + EQ to be kind and empathetic towards animals.

[Dr. Anuj @anujtiwari11]

All doctors who arent public health experts, please go through the data available and then comment. And if any public health expert can comment and guide, it will be great.
Mass vaccination programmes for canines are the best way to curtail rabies. Neutering to reduce population

[Percival Billimoria, Senior Advocate @PercyBillimoria]

One of the lesser known facts is that caregivers - mainly young girls are getting battered .. for feeding dogs. Ignorant fools don’t even know that feeding serves a very important purpose #SaveIndianWomen

[Dev @HoomanDecoder]

Dog haters can’t teach kindness or decency because they don’t practice either. That’s why they neither adopt nor help humans. Their true enemy isn’t dogs. It’s compassion because it exposes the emptiness inside them. #SaveIndianDogs https://t.co/AbZQHMr7qk

Dogs are born guardians. Thats their nature..to protect.
Why are humans bent on making them villains??

@VishalBhargava5 asking for this is not "berating the data" - bite incidence is very high in countries/places with very low stray dog populations - so it would be good to have nuance here as well is the point we are making

[Meghna Bal @BalMeghna]

community notes show fallibility - this is not true - we have covered dog bites in our report - screenshot below :) we asked for nuance, we did not ignore the situation

[Vishal Bhargava @VishalBhargava5]

Community Notes does it’s thing in revealing the background of the author @BalMeghna
It was such a bizarre finding that the results were dodgy to most.
@ShekharGupta should pull down such content pieces. People are entitled to their opinion, not their surveys.

[Dev @HoomanDecoder]

In Nabadwip West Bengal, a pack of stray dogs guarded an abandoned newborn and saved its life. If all strays are as ‘aggressive’ as dog haters claim, how did this happen? Think! who’s the demon here? The humans who abandoned the baby, or the dogs who protected it? #saveindiandogs
