Why does Maneka Gandhi protect man eating stray dogs of Kerala?

Sri. Maneka Gandhi is the Indian Union Cabinet Minister for Women & Child Development in the Government of PM Narendra Modi . Majority of those who were attacked are women and children and we expect her being the minister to be have concern for the citizens. But quite strange that her concern is for the stray dogs and not for the citizens of India.
We can argue she is a animal love and hence the response. But Menaka Gandhi was mute when a MLA who broke the police horse Shaktimaan’s leg and it eventually died.
[Deaths due to stray dogs is a small number and hence killing them is inhumane is the argument in favour. But we ignore the fact that of the 20, 565 deaths from rabies which happen each year, dogs are responsible for about 97%.]
Why is she protecting the man eating stray dogs?

• To know the complete picture one has to understand the scope of Rabies vaccines market in India. Stray dogs are the backbone of this industry.

It is pretty clear from the above data who are behind the stray dog lovers. They have brain washed the animal lovers and using them to maintain the need for rabies vaccines. Menaka Gandhi being a member of parliament is expected to be a Philanthropist, but unfortunately she is just another animal lover.
It seems she has turned blind with her love for animals. Before making such irresponsible statements she should first understand the grave threat posed to people here. The government at the center is doing wonders, but she is a misfit to the post.
