By Animal abuse is a matter of shame that always gets pushed aside. This is really very cruel for them. Animal abuse happens more frequently than most people even aware of.
Animal abuse can be deliberate or by just simply neglecting to take care of an animal. There are several types of animal cruelties that have been going on recently.
Here are some news headlines which were observed recently:
- Maharashtra: FIR against two teens for gouging out dog’s eyes.
- Dog stabbed on head, animal cruelty cases on the rise in Covid-19
- Ambala: four booked in separate cases of animal cruelty.
- Animal cruelty: FIR lodged in puppies beheaded case.
- 100 stray dogs culled in Telangana, case registered.
- Panchkula witnesses 2 cases of cruelty towards stray dogs.
- Complaint against owners for cruelty to bullocks.
- Akola dog cruelty case reported to the animal welfare board.
And the most recent one, “An offense has been registered against unidentified persons for allegedly sexually assaulting a female dog in Mumbai’s Powai area.”
‘She was in a pool of blood’: Female dog struggles for life after brutal sexual assault in Mumbai.
This is really very shocking. How anyone can be so cruel ??
The cruelty with those who can’t speak, who can’t even utter a single word for their pain. Already street dogs suffer a lot.
This incident came to light when one Devi Sheth received a video wherein Noorie(female dog) was seen lying in an unconscious situation at Galleria Mall in Powai. At the moment, she, along with her mother, went to the spot and found the speechless canine lying in a pool of blood with an 11-inch wooden rod inserted in her private parts.
They rushed her to NGO World For All’s care center, where vets removed the rod from her private parts and started her treatment. Her condition, however, is still critical.
“She was in a pool of blood. There was no response, but you could see she was suffering … When we found her, so many people were just walking past… Strays are our responsibility. But people discard them like they are nothing,” Devi told Mumbai Mirror.
Case lodged under IPC Section 377
The assault was reported to the Powai police by Bombay Animal Rights (BAR), following which a case was registered against unidentified persons under IPC sections 377 (unnatural sex) and 429 (mischief by killing or maiming an animal).
Vijay Kishore, from BAR, told MM, “It is uncommon for the police to book people under Section 377. However, the brutality with which she was assaulted led them to add the section.”
Most people don’t even understand this small thing that animals experience the same types of psychological abuse that humans do. Animals need to be cared for and treated right. They are not things we can take our anger out on or be killed for fun.
There are several ways in which you can stop abuse and can prevent abuse from happening. We should raise our concern whenever we see all these brutalities near us. This is high time. Increase the volume of your pitch. Stand with them. They really need our support.
