Animal Cruelty

Abhorrent and atrocious.

- T. Rajagopalan

What type of doctor would this monstrous medico shape into – this mindless man who threw a dog from the top of a building just for the fun of it? A final year MBBS student Gowtham Sudarshan dropped the poor dog from the top of a three-storey building. This most unedifying scene that was videographed and had gone viral shows how the dog pitifully wailed when it broke its bones and suffered excruciating agony Sudarshan’s friend Abhishek Pal, was also with him at this juncture hugely enjoying the dog falling and cracking its slender bones. This abominable event occured in Kunrathur in Chennai and the police registered a case against him for his barbaric act under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.

A spine-chilling barbaric act of three juveniles burning three pups was reported on 20 July 2016 from Hyderabad’s Pathan Basthi in Musheerabad. As one of the pups wriggled out, one of the savage kicked it back in to the pyro. This burning alive of pups by boys must  have frozen the blood of many who witnessed this ghastly spectacle. Shreya Paropkari, cruelty response manager at Humane Society International obtained this horrendous video from a fish dealer who videographed this blood curdling scene. Upon a complaint made to the police the monstrous juveniles were arrested by the police under IPC sec 429 (for mischief by killing or maiming cattle or any other animals.

AN EDIFYING SPECTACLE

It was a highly edifying spectacle to espy in Hyderabad a clutch of animal rescuers rescuing a dog by removing a pipe from dog’s neck, but for the rescuers removing this pipe it would have perished in an agonising and pathetic manner.
