Should dogs be killed in Kerala?

According to a Supreme Court panel there are over one lakh dog bite incidents in Kerala. In 2015-16 alone and the state is estimated to have stray dog population of 2.5 lakhs. We need a solution to the issue.
"The ends justify the means"
Stray dogs are a threat to humans and hence their number has to be reduced. As an immediate measure the more dangerous ones have to be killed, but how to identify them is a mystery.
Sterilizing them is a more human option, but since the situation is worse we need immediate measures. It is a war like situation and killing them is not inhumane as the situation demands it.

It is known that $25 million(Rs. 16,76,011,250 ie over 16 thousand crore) are spent on Post Exposure Prophylaxis in India annually. Around 40% of Post Exposure Prophylaxis is given to children below the age of 15yrs.]

• The cost of Pneumococcal vaccination in the Indian private sector ranges between Rs.8000 and Rs.16000 for a complete course and for rotavirus, it ranges between Rs.2000 and Rs.4000. This course is given free at PMC-run hospitals and government bear the expense.
