Following a widely-circulated news of a pet dog that was killed mercilessly by three youths in Kerala, another case of animal cruelty has come to light in Mangaluru, where a miscreant opened fire on a stray dog with his air gun, killing it instantly, animal rights activists said here on Saturday. The trustee of Shaktinagar Animal Care Trust in Mangaluru, Suma Nayak, told before media that the miscreant is a local resident who is on the run at present.
“We have collected some evidence but it’s still not very clear. Therefore, we have decided not to disclose his identity yet. The stray received a bullet on its back. During the post-mortem, the pallet was recovered,” Suma’s report reads.
She also appealed to the local residents to share CCTV footages if they come across any suspicious activity around the time when the incident took place. Suma further said that it was not a violent but a docile stray dog, which did not create any trouble in the locality.
