Its often said that statistics lie.
Well, this article shows that statistics can kill, too.
Statistics. Numbers of stray dogs. Numbers of rabies cases. Numbers of ... the lists and tables go on. Then, for one reason or another, it becomes a crisis, and the 'normal' process is thrown to the side, and people are activated to do that which they wouldn't normally do.
Why? Statistics! And fear of making the city or country look bad on the world stage.
Lives sacrificed for image. Souls cast aside for convenience. Death on a massive scale.
Homeless humans cause much the same problems, and have many similar "statistics", yet society never stands for the wholesale slaughter of them. Why? What makes humans so special?
This article is about bureaucrats sitting behind desks, making decisions totally removed from reality, or from having a heart.
