Target: Siddaramaiah, Chief Minister of Karnataka, India
Goal: Find and prosecute whoever pepper sprayed the dog PK, enforcing animal cruelty laws to prevent further harm.
In a distressing incident of animal cruelty, a seven-year-old community dog named PK was allegedly pepper sprayed in the eyes near Bunts Hostel Circle, Mangaluru in India’s Karnataka state. Known for his friendly nature, PK has been a beloved figure in the area for the past seven months. On Wednesday, he was seen running frantically, unable to open his eyes and colliding with vehicles and walls.
Animal rescuer Tauseef Ahmed, who regularly feeds PK, received a video showing the dog’s distress and rushed to the scene. A kind neighbor initially washed PK’s eyes, and upon Ahmed’s arrival, eye drops were administered to alleviate his discomfort. PK was also given an analgesic to reduce inflammation and pain. Meha, who reported the incident, will continue administering the eye drops for the next few days.
This act of cruelty not only harmed PK but also endangered the lives of people in the vicinity, as the distressed dog could have caused an accident. Such behavior is unacceptable. Ensure that those responsible are held accountable under the law.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear CM Siddaramaiah,
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the recent incident of animal cruelty involving a community dog named PK in Mangaluru. PK was allegedly pepper sprayed in the eyes, causing severe distress and endangering both the dog and the public. This heinous act of cruelty must not go unpunished.
PK has been a friendly and playful presence in the Bunts Hostel Circle area for the past seven months. The cruel treatment he endured has not only caused him immense suffering but also posed a significant risk to public safety.
I urge you to thoroughly investigate this incident and prosecute those responsible to the fullest extent of the law. It is essential to send a strong message that animal cruelty will not be tolerated in our community.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Such a lovely thing to do to a dog who is welcoming to people. This is probably a man or kid who is a bully and wanted to have some fun at the expense of an innocent. Although I am glad PK is fine and in goods hands presently while he is healing. But I hope you find the bastard who did this. He is in need of mental hospitalization. Maybe for life?
I wish you could and would spray the criminals eyes as he did to this dog. Then allow him to feel the same pain as the dog and for the same amount of time. He must feel the suffering he gave to an innocent dog. Do not have him see a doctor until he has had the same amount of pain and suffering as his victim. This creep can not run into traffic but must feel the pain he gave. He deserves no less!
INDIA again, say no more, this country is at the bottom of the cess-pit for cruelty, brutality, depravity and heinous atrocities being carried out day after day after day. Shame on INDIA.
WTF – INDIA ONCE AGAIN!!! Just this morning, this is the THIRD petition I’m signing!!! One was bestiality to an animal, the other was 6 puppies were brutally killed and now this one!! ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING PEOPLE!!!
Why would he do that to a beloved dog? Obviously this wicked jerk needs a physical punishment by a cane in jail or in public. Anyone who abuses an innocent life, be it human or animal deserves to be flogged!
