| Died PET Dog Photograph provided as evidence by PAWS-Mumbai to Police |
Plant
& Animals Welfare Society – Mumbai lodge a writing complaint against a
person who thrown a PET DOG from a top (height) floor of Lake Lucerne
(Building), Lake Home (Complex), Powai at 9:45 PM on 3rd June 2013. In
the letter PAWS-Mumbai requested Powai Police to lodge and FIR against unknown
person under Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, Indian Penal Code,
1860 and Bombay Police Act, 1951 and investigates the case as a law enforcement
authority.
As per
the information received PAWS-Mumbai “It fell a far distance of about 15 ft.
from the balconies onto a car and nobody cared to lend a hand or help to
identify the dog. It was left to die with a crushed skull and absolutely no
trace of the owners. Its body was left overnight at the same spot with no
action being taken for more than 15 hours. It is the most horrendous case of
animal cruelty, as the heartless owner was as good as the devil incarnate to
throw the puppy out with full force and not even come to claim it or own up.
The death cannot even be accidental, as pugs cannot jump or slip through the
railings as the grills on the balconies are narrow. Even if it slipped out, it
could never fall that far away from the balconies”.
