Target: Tmt S. Amirtha Jothi, IAS., Director of Animal Husbandry, Tamil Nadu
Goal: Ensure rigorous legal action against the individual allegedly responsible for the brutal torture of a stray dog in Madurai.
In a horrific incident in Madurai in the state of Tamil Nadu in India, a stray dog allegedly fell victim to a brutal act of cruelty. M Palaniappan, aged 32, allegedly tied the dog’s legs with metal wire and dragged it along Tamil Sangam Road. Witnesses reported he then struck the dog with an iron pipe, displaying a shocking level of violence. This distressing episode, captured on video and widely shared on social media, has sparked outrage and demands for justice.
Palaniappan, now in custody, defended his reported actions by claiming the dog had rabies. This barbaric act followed another incident in Valar Nagar, where several stray dogs were allegedly poisoned, leading to the death of eight animals. These consecutive acts of alleged cruelty highlight a severe issue in animal welfare and public safety in Madurai. The accused faces charges under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (PCA) Act and Section 428 of the IPC, but this is not enough. There’s a pressing need for stringent legal action to deter such acts of violence against animals.
The alleged torture of this stray dog is not an isolated incident but part of a broader problem of animal cruelty in the region. Mayur Hassija, an animal welfare activist, has called for the establishment of a Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) in each district. Such measures are crucial in preventing further harm to animals and ensuring justice for this dog. Demand immediate and strict legal action against M Palaniappan for this seemingly unconscionable act of cruelty.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Tmt S. Amirtha Jothi, IAS.,
We urge you to take immediate and stringent action in the case of the allegedly tortured stray dog in Madurai. The heinous act allegedly committed by M Palaniappan, involving dragging the dog with metal wire and striking it with an iron pipe, requires more than just standard legal procedures. It calls for a strong statement against animal cruelty.
This incident is not only about a single act of violence; it reflects a deeper issue within the community. The lack of active SPCAs in districts like Madurai allows such cruelty to go unchecked and unpunished. Therefore, we implore you to not only ensure rigorous legal action against Palaniappan, if found guilty, but also advocate for the establishment of effective animal welfare organizations in each district.
We stand united in our call for justice for this innocent animal. Your position as the Director of Animal Husbandry in Tamil Nadu puts you in a unique position to effect change and ensure such atrocities are not repeated. We demand justice for the tortured stray dog and preventive measures to safeguard all animals in Madurai.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

ANY COUNTRY IN THIS WORLD WHERE YOU HAVE BASTARDS TORTURING ANIMALS ARE HORRENDOUS. I SAY NO MATTER MALE OR FEMALE. FUCK THEM AND MAY THEY SUFFER HORRIBLY AND LONG BEFORE A MISERABLE DEATH. NO EXCEPTIONS. MAY ALL ANIMAL FUCKING BASTARDS BURN IN HELL AND DAMN SOON!
Well said! I absolutely agree!! Animal cruelty has run rampant. I get enraged every time I read these stories. It just really pisses me off that the laws and punishment aren’t stronger. If it was up to me I’d say an eye for an eye!! Fuck them all!!!!
Enough of this torture! My question is why do people just stand by and watch this sick twisted horrific brutality against an innocent dog go on? This just baffles me and should never happen I know if it was me I would immediately intervene put an end to the animals pain agony and horrific suffering!
It seems like India doesn’t care one nit about animal abuse. I’ve read over and over again about the horrible abuse people there got away with. What a sicko country. I’d b3 ashamed to say I’m from there.
Yes they’re rampant animal, women and children abusers in India. They need to be strict.
Yes why record it instead of stopping it. He wouldn’t be doing it with me there!
This disgusting monster needs to be punished severely for this heinous, ugly act. There is no excuse for the blatant mistreatment of innocent animals!
My God, it’s not enough that stray dogs have a miserable life on the streets without some psycho monster torturing them on top of everything else they endure?
Poor little angel! ….and all the little fur babies that were poisoned.
M Palaniappan should receive the same torture that this little innocent soul suffered. MAY YOU ENDURE AN ETERNITY OF TORTURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why aren’t the onlookers stopping these atrocities.? It only takes one person to video the heinous act!!!!!!!!!!
Tmt S. Amirtha Jothi, IAS., Director of Animal Husbandry, Tamil Nadu
Mayur Hassija animal welfare activist PLEASE TAKE ALL THE STEPS NEEDED TO START CARING FOR THESE INNOCENT SOULS!!!! YOUR COUNTRY IS NOTORIOUS FOR BEING A TRAGEDY FOR ANIMALS. PLEASE CHANGE COURSE!!!!
Agree 100%, they hate dogs over there, they are godless, uncivilized & barbaric. There is no animal welfare or protection. And don’t think the women over there are any less gruesome than the men. Animal abusers deserve to suffer the same fate.
Hopefully justice will be done and this POS will receive punishment in kind.
HOGTIE THIS CRUEL & ABUSIVE ASSHOLE AND DRAG HIM BEHIND A BIG TRUCK FOR MILES AND STOPPING EACH MILE TO BEAT HIS SORRY BRAIN AND BREAKING ALL HIS BROKENS INTO ITTY BITTY PIECES, & THEN THROW THE REST OF CRUEL AND ABUSIVE SELF INTO A PRISON CELL AND THRIW THE KEY AWAY!!! NEVER LET HIM OUT AND DO NOT RENDER HIM ANY MEDICAL TREATMENT DURING HIS STAY!!!!
Strip that evil monster of its human rights and make it endure the exact same torture!!!!!!!!
The entire country of India is full of evil monsters and spawns of Satan. Send that monster back to hell where it belongs!!!!!!!!
EXACTLY!! DON’T JUST FILM THIS SHIT – DO SOMETHING!!!
There’s a special place in hell for people who torture helpless animals.
No animal deserves to be the victim of DEHUMANIZED and DESENSITIZED SADISTIC PSYCHOPATHS!! This satanic pathological monster must be severely punished, MAX JAIL or DEATH PENALTY! He must also be forbidden from coming near/owning animals ever again.
There is enough violence in the world!
Abusing animals DEHUMANIZES humans.
SET a PRECEDENT, and punish to the full extent of the law!
No animal deserves to be the victim of DEHUMANIZED and DESENSITIZED SADISTIC PSYCHOPATHS!! Crimes committed against defenseless animals are increasingly GROTESQUE because the punishment for animal abuse is not severe enough, and in many cases does not exist. A slap on the wrist is a MOCKERY of animal victims, and also has a dehumanizing effect on our society. This satanic pathological monster must be severely punished, MAX JAIL or DEATH PENALTY! He must also be forbidden from coming near/owning animals ever again.
There is enough violence in the world.
Abusing animals DEHUMANIZES humans!
SET a PRECEDENT, and punish to the full extent of the law!
AND HOW DID THIS SICK FUCK KNOW THAT POOR SOUL HAD RABIES?!?!! WAS HE A VETERINARIAN?!?!! I BET NOT!!! PUNISHMENT SHOUD BE SEVERAL BITES BY A REAL RABID DOG AND THEN DENIAL OF TREATMENT.
Death penalty for bastard killer, SOB,burn in hell,coward!
Justice for the poor dog,+RIP
INDIA, once again…why doesn’t that surprise me any more. This truly is a gut-wrenchingly cruel and brutal country, inhabited by equally cruel, brutal, sadistic barbaric, PSYCHOTIC masses. These ‘people’ are nothing but evil, deranged, depraved monsters and, quite frankly, they should be exterminated off this planet.
Agree all comments,
Do the same to him but leave him to die slow. Justice now and this country and others need to be held accountable and they must be taken of this earth. The laws need to change in these countries. Eye for a eye. This country needs to deal with these strays and home them all animals should be desexed at a young age to stop these stray unwanted animals. Sick of hearing this cruelty and nothing done.
Death penalty is the only true justice for this.
Throw this d*g*n*rate terrorist, this insane piece of human meat, this soulless, evil, vile devil into jail, where rather bad men stay, who have to lose nothing, but love and adore animals. They will teach this lowlife scum his one and only lesson…..
And AGAIN I demand BIRTH CONTROL for India- and I am not talking about the animals….
Wish I was there cause that stupid mother fucker I woukd have done him the same way so far there 4 damn countries I will not visit and that’s India , Africa China and both north and south Korea because of all the animals abuse I know there animals abuse in other countries but these countries are worst
How many “free passes” does this ass wipe get????
Act after act of brutal acts of violence!! Maybe the time has come to start punishing them with the same abuse as they feel they have the right!!! Show him what it feels like let his worthless ass suffer!!!! Time and time again this happens with no real punishment or consequences… it’s disgraceful and disgusting!!!!
In Tamil Nadu it is very hot. I have travelled few times but the people don’t care. You will never see water pots for animals. They drink from dirty drains. This shows the mind set of majorities.
