Here's proof that the Meerut administration has unleashed shocking brutality on the stray dogs in the area to protect & shield the ILLEGAL CATTLE SLAUGHTER HOUSES.
series of photographs are attached, forwarded by Jeev Karuna Sanstha, Meerut. Some of them are 15 - 25 days old, and some as recent as 3 - 5 days.
The Animal Welfare Board of India has written thrice to various functionaries within the administration. They have advised the administration regarding the correct method of controlling stray dog population. They have apprised them as to the law - the PCA Act, the ABC Rules, etc. They have offered help and guidance, for setting up the requisite sterilization, immunization infrastructure within Meerut. Eventually, they have threatened legal action, but to no avail.Dear Sir,
I was shocked reading and seeing proof about the brutal killings in taluk place Siddapur( north kanara district) Karnataka state. PIN 581355.
For last two days the panchayat authority started killing street dogs in the most horrible and inhumane way, one could imagine. Even the most horrible murderers are not killed in this way as these poor innocent dogs have been killed.
They are kicking the dogs and using wooden clubs, beating the dogs to death in front of children and adults.
You gave the order for these inhumane killings instead of co-operating with organizations to deal with the overpopulation of strays by neutering and spay them and to support education to your nation, in how to take proper care of your pets.
These acts of torture and murder cannot be be excused with a reason of an outbreak of rabies, because you also know, that by vaccinating animals will prevent them for rabies. Even when there is proof of one dog contaminated with rabies, this dog can be humane euthanized, when this dog cannot be cured. Beating or kicking an animal to death is not the right way of a noble human being.
India is in desperate need of modern politicians who support true civilization and righteousness into their mind, heart and attitude. By supporting this cruelty towards your dogs, even given an order to these barbaric killings, will give the reputation of India a bloody one.
Permit me to quote M.K. Gandhi in this context: "I hold that, the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man."
I urge you to stop these brutal and drastic killings of strays and co-operate with organizations who know how to deal in a respectful way with the number of strays in your country.
Thanks for your time and I hope your will reply to me, with good news.
