Target: Putta Vimaladitya, City Police Commissioner, Kochi City Police, Ernakulam District, Kerala, India
Goal: Identify and prosecute those responsible for abandoning a dog in a public park, risking lives and violating animal welfare laws.
A male pit bull was abandoned inside a busy public park. The dog was seen wandering unsupervised for days, appearing weary, hungry, and without access to food or water. Park visitors raised alarms after noticing the animal roaming aimlessly, posing a potential danger to itself and the public.
The dog was eventually captured and taken for medical examination before being moved to a shelter for protection. Welfare officials have stated that the animal was let loose deliberately and may have been roaming the area for over a week. It was further reported that the dog attacked another dog near a veterinary hospital during this period, highlighting the risks created by abandonment in a public space.
Abandoning a dog, especially a strong breed, violates multiple animal welfare and municipal laws and exposes the animal to stress, injury, and abuse while endangering children, elderly citizens, and other animals. This petition calls for a full investigation to identify those responsible and for strict enforcement of animal cruelty and public safety laws to prevent similar incidents.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Commissioner Vimaladitya,
We are writing to express serious concern over reports that a powerful dog was abandoned in a public park and left to wander without supervision, food, or water. The animal roamed the area for days, creating fear among visitors and placing itself and others at risk.
Animal welfare officials have stated that such abandonment may constitute multiple violations of existing animal welfare and municipal laws. The incident, including reports of an attack on another dog, underscores the danger of allowing stressed and unsupervised animals to remain in public spaces.
We respectfully urge your office to investigate this matter thoroughly, identify those responsible, and pursue appropriate legal action. Strong enforcement is essential to protect both animals and the public and to ensure that abandonment and negligence are met with meaningful consequences.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
