Why do people treat you like monsters if you talk about the dangers of stray dogs in India?

I've been attacked twice by them when I was 7 yrs old. They are still roaming around freely inside my gated community. If you raise the issue, the people that want to keep them say " You should've been careful". How am I supposed to be careful if 4 dogs are coming after me and climbing over me? Recently in my society, a stray dog was barking aggressively and coming very close to a man who was walking. He picked up a stone to scare him away and another guy started abusing him saying " If you try to use a stone to scare him, I will kill you"
