Target: Bhagwant Mann, Chief Minister of Punjab, India
Goal: Implement strict penalties against individuals allegedly involved in illegal cockfighting.
A shocking incident has surfaced from the Indian state of Punjab’s Bathinda, involving a rooster, now a symbol of animal rights. Allegedly, the bird suffered in an illegal cockfight. Rescued by Punjab Police, this rooster’s plight has reportedly sparked a call for justice. The case not only highlights potential animal cruelty but also exposes a hidden, disturbing practice in rural Punjab.
Detailing the event, approximately 200 individuals allegedly gathered for this rooster fight in Balluana village. Reportedly, this wasn’t an isolated occurrence but part of a recurring series. The police intervention reportedly led to arrests, with charges of animal cruelty levied. A medical examination of the rooster, now under police protection, reportedly emphasizes the gravity of the situation. Such alleged disregard for animal welfare in the name of tradition or entertainment must cease.
This petition is necessary because it stems from a fundamental respect for animal rights. With the rooster under strict vigil and receiving necessary care and attention, it’s time to demand justice. This case should set a precedent for punishing those guilty of similar acts. Take action now.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear CM Mann,
I write to you today about a matter that has deeply disturbed the conscience of animal lovers and advocates for justice. In the village of Balluana, Bathinda, a rooster allegedly became an unwitting victim in an illegal cockfight. This incident, thankfully interrupted by the police, has brought to light a cruel, underground practice occurring in your state.
This event allegedly involved a large gathering, signaling a deeply entrenched issue that goes beyond a single incident. The rooster, now under police protection, reportedly serves as a living testament to the cruelty inflicted upon animals for mere entertainment. This situation calls for a response that goes beyond mere acknowledgment. It demands action.
Thus, we urge you, as the Chief Minister of Punjab, to take immediate and decisive steps. We demand the implementation of strict penalties against those allegedly involved in the Bathinda case and a broader crackdown on illegal cockfighting across Punjab. Let this case be a turning point, a moment where Punjab leads the way in respecting animal rights and upholding the law.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
