Target: Devendra Fadnavis, Chief Minister of Maharashtra, India
Goal: Shut down the pet boarding facility where a dog sitter was reportedly caught abusing animals, and implement stricter regulations for oversight in pet care services.
A disturbing video from a pet boarding facility in Mumbai in the Indian state of Maharashtra has surfaced, showing a dog sitter allegedly abusing a German Shepherd. This footage, shared by animal activist Vijay Rangare, highlights the horrifying treatment of pets left in the care of such facilities. The video was captured by another caretaker, bringing to light the apparent cruelty endured by animals behind closed doors.
Such acts of abuse are not isolated incidents and appear to expose a lack of oversight and regulation in pet care services. Many pet owners entrust their beloved animals to these facilities, expecting them to be cared for with love and dignity. Instead, they are seemingly met with violence and neglect. The abuse apparently seen in this video is not only a breach of trust but also a violation of animal welfare laws.
We urge the Mumbai Police to conduct a thorough investigation into this incident, ensure the perpetrators are held accountable, and shut down this facility immediately. Additionally, we call on the Animal Welfare Board of India to enforce stricter regulations, including mandatory CCTV monitoring and certification processes, for all pet boarding facilities across the country to prevent such abuse from happening again.
This incident must serve as a wake-up call to safeguard the well-being of innocent animals and restore the trust of pet owners in these services.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear CM Devendra Fadnavis,
The recent video of apparent animal abuse at a Mumbai pet boarding facility has shocked and outraged the public. A dog sitter was reportedly caught on camera hitting a German Shepherd, raising serious concerns about the treatment of pets in such establishments.
Pet boarding facilities are entrusted with the care of beloved animals, and incidents like these appear to represent a profound violation of trust and animal welfare. This facility must be shut down immediately to ensure the safety of other animals in its care. Furthermore, the individuals involved in this alleged abuse must be held accountable under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.
We also urge the Animal Welfare Board of India to implement stricter regulations for pet boarding facilities, including mandatory installation of CCTV cameras, regular inspections, and a licensing system to ensure that only qualified and compassionate individuals are employed.
The animals under our care depend on us for protection and love. Let this incident serve as a reminder of the need for stronger laws and enforcement to prevent animal cruelty.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
