You're the second guy to ask this question, I just wanna know if y'all are serious

Would it be okay if the whole zoos and jungles emptied out all the animals on the roads meant for cars and pedestrians?

We might as well have Elephants, Cows, Zebras, Anteloupes, Rams, Dogs, Rabbits and what not, competing for right of way with road users.

tpiadotcom:



you're exaggerating.

ShineuEye:


You almost answered your own question, there are differences between pets and livestock. Pet owners can also be prosecuted if their pets was to harm innocent people. You won't remain passive if you son was bitten by your neighbours dog would you?

Wat are dey supposed to do? Arrest dem?

Animals don't like places of high human activities. They move farther away from such places. We'll be close to your answer if you and I can separate between wild animals and domestic animals. Domestic animals have been domesticated, and therefore are less harmful and can live with or near humans. A wild dog, for example, is not domesticated and you don't need a second thought but to try and kill it or it kills somebody.

Use your head, Mr. Does that place look like grazing ground? If their presence on the street look normal to you, then you need reeducation or even psychiatric check up.

Tooor! Oya bros go arrest d cows, shebi na u get sense pass

You're not really getting my point.

Under no circumstances should animals be jostling for space with road users, regardless of whether or not they are domesticated, unless of course in agreement with state laws.

I'll give you an example, on an episode of a certain UK highway patrol show, the officers kept spotting dogs going stray into the highway, thereby interfering with road users. So they had to get in touch with animal control to intercept those dogs, for the safety of road users and to keep traffic clear.

Now imagine the situation in Nigeria, where these animals are even left to roam due to no other reason than a dearth of enforcement.

We have become so used to lack of enforcement in many facets of the Nigerian society, that we now see the abnormal as normal.

APC cows are above the law.

tonytony208:


Are you trying to say that there is nothing bad in the cows being on the street like that? If that is ur viewpoint, then you need help fast.

CountDracula:

MalcoImX:
It's not really about enforcement but more of new situations demanding new laws. There's this argument that the rights of the animals are being violated. In the same UK, a man took the owner of cockerel to a court that he is being disturbed by the cry of the animal at night; that it should be taken elsewhere, preferably to a rural settlement where it belongs. Animal rights activists from that and surrounding communities had to rally round and protest that the animal had the right to cry and any relocation will amount to the right of the cockerel being violated.
A new development is the marriage to animals by some women in Western countries. I think the 'husband' may be argued to have the right to jostle with humans not only on highways, but on parking lots, shopping malls, playgrounds and other public spaces. Or would you in this case have any right to request the dog ('the husband') to be taken out from a public space because you are there?

Lol, is that the Serengeti

Also, rest assured that if it isn't and is a developed country, which we are striving towards, then animal control will be notified immediately.

Lastly, you seem to be a real advocate for the actualization of the expression, "Naija is a jungle".

This stuff really vexes me, like how can cows just be on the road and no police or military operative does anything about it
