Are there any rules in this country against pet torture?
Today I witnessed a heart-wrenching incident at a gated society in Gurugram.
This morning I saw a van parked outside my building tower. Few moments later a lady lured a golden retriever puppy, around 6-7 months old outside the building by spreading some pedigree on the road. The puppy was clearly suffering from malnutrition. Then a dog "catcher" stepped out of the van, tied a leash tightly around the puppy and dragged the poor dog mercilessly inside the van. He lifted the dog up in the air by the leash and put him in the van. The puppy was screaming helplessly.
Some residents were bystanders and said nothing. I was amazed to see that some pet owners were also present and did not protest at all. I was the only one who tried to raise a voice, asking the lady to donate her dog to some NGO, if she can't take care of him. She simply gathered some residents and started a huge fight.
I have seen many people in Delhi-NCR, who can't stand pets and pet owners. Some people would adopt a pet for status and afterwards simply leave them on the streets or torture them at home. If you try to take care of stray dogs, feed birds, they will gang up against you. Even if you feed them in an area designated by society for dog pee.
I fed some small birds with seeds and water in the morning on my roof, and they have a problem with that as well. They say that I am putting all the residents' lives in danger if I feed small birds with water. I am starting to hate living in this city. This place is full of pollution and majority of people have no love for nature, no mercy, no logic, no common sense or civic sense.
When will there be some rules against pet torture? Gurugram is full of goons and police is of no help.
Rant end.
