Stop killing Dogs in Meerut,Uttar,Pradesh, India

India is the only country in world that provides in its Constitution for mercy and care of the animals.  This was a news story - but nothing has changed since - we must act NOW. To see more pictures - and please go look - IT WILL GALVANISE YOU INTO ACTION!  Sign this petition and also do the individual emails - see below.

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.

For the government of Uttar Pradesh state, India  and its functionaries it seems like a perfect solution that people are venting out their anger by killing ALL and INNOCENT dogs. It suits the bureaucracy as it does not to bother the SLAUGHTER HOUSES and STOP the EVER FOURISHING TRADE OF Illegal CATTLE MEAT INDUSTRY in Meerut. 

In a tragic incident, a five-year-old boy who had gone out in search of his mother in a field, has been attacked and bitten to death by a pack of street dogs at Kazipur, Meerut. As a result the villagers are eliminating each stray by brutally killing them.

They are ostensibly 'remedying' the situation that led to death of two children in village Kazipur, Meerut, allegedly due to stray dog attacks. In fact, there is an illegal abattoir in village Kazipur, which is violating every possible norm - pollution control, animal waste disposal, etc. Apparently, 5000 animals, mainly cattle, INCLUDING COWS are slaughtered in the abattoir every day - and then, the animal parts that are not used, and blood, bones, etc., are all allowed to flow into an open nullah adjacent to the abattoir, that flows through village Kazipur and beyond.   The strays of the area feed on these animal remains as a consequence ; or attacked children who ventured too close to the nullah that is their food source.

THIS IS THE REAL CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM .   THE ADMINISTRATION TURNS A BLIND EYE TO THIS WHILE PEOPLE TAKE LAW IN THEIR HANDS.  PEOPLE ARE ENJOYING THE ACT OF KILLING DOGS AS AN ENTERTAINMENT FOR THEM (see pictures).

In any event, what has followed, and continues to unfold every single day, is murder, and cruelty beyond belief. They are caught, they are cornered, many have been viciously beaten to death. The dogs are caught in the most brutal manner possible, kept without food and water for 2 - 3 days until a sizeable number are 'collected', and then - mainly released into the forest, or surreptitiously put down or beaten to death

AS NO LAW AND ORDER IS RESPECTED IN MEERUT anymore.   INCLUDING THE POLICE, D.M., MAYOR, or U.P. GOVERNMENT, no one is bothered to stop/ control people from taking the law in their hands and brutally slaughtering dogs using innovative methods, which also includes use of arms and weapons.   All this despite the SUPREME COURT of INDIA has put a STAY AGAINST ANY KIND OF KILLING OF DOGS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.

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.

PLEASE lets all write to them & Let them know that we know what is going on and we condemn the government and their functionaries for loosing the control over law and order in their state & one small city and for protecting an ILLEGAL SLAUGHTER HOUSE of CATTLE.

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.
