Three men reportedly brutally assaulted a pregnant bitch for just trespassing. Three brothers named Harmeet Singh, Makhan Singh and Dassa Singh, who are the residents of Raipur Khurd near Chandigarh reportedly blinded by inserting the sharp objects in the eyes of the pregnant canine for just entering into their house.
This incident took place on October 11th and two neighbour brothers Pradeep Singh and Harjot Singh came to the rescue of the canine after they heard her screaming. Pradeep saw accused Harmeet with a sharp object in his hand and the brutal injuries afflicted on the poor canine. They had inserted the sharp object into her eyes and thrashed her. Pradeep was told to back off by the brutes.
Pradeep also reported the incident to the police station on October 14th, but police didn’t respond so far but when the news was reported by the newspaper on October 17th, then the police came into the action and had arrested the three of the accused brothers under Section 428 of the IPC.
Harjot Singh (Cousin of Pradeep Singh) subsequently carried the injured bitch to Balongi from where she was referred to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) Hospital. Dr Rakesh Sharma told The Tribune, “Since it is pregnant, we can’t give a very high dose of medication. A surgery will be conducted on the canine after the delivery, which is expected in about five to six days” while maintaining that the canine has a negligible vision in the eye that was left intact.
The staff at the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) Hospital, Sector 38 (West), Chandigarh, where the dog is undergoing treatment, said the animal was stable and doing fine. According to the medical report, the dog has suffered 100 percent blindness in one eye and has just about 10 to 15 percent vision in the other eye.
Pradeep, along with other village residents are demanding exemplary punishment for the accused so that in future, no one dares to indulge in such a heinous act.
Now, as the news came out, many of the dog lovers and animal rights activists are willing to adopt the Canine but the question that this incident raises again that when will humans stop being so inhuman with the animals and when the accused persons will get the required punishment for such heinous crimes against animals?
