Target: IPS Ajay Mishra, Police Commissioner of Ghaziabad, India
Goal: Ensure swift and stringent legal action against those responsible for a reportedly heinous act.
In India’s Ghaziabad, a shocking incident has come to light. A dog was reportedly found with grievous wounds, reportedly from a stab wound inflicted by unidentified individuals. The animal was reportedly discovered in a dire state, bleeding profusely in Wave City Society. Rushed to a veterinary hospital, the dog reportedly underwent extensive treatment, requiring numerous stitches to recover from the life-threatening injuries. A user on social media platform X brought this disturbing act to light, sharing footage of the dog’s treatment, underscoring the severity of the injury.
The shared videos depict the harrowing scene, the dog wailing in agony as medical professionals work diligently to mend its wounds. The outcry of the dog during treatment paints a distressing picture of the reported cruelty it endured. The individual sharing these moments remarked on the escalating instances of animal cruelty, sparking a conversation about the need for strict enforcement of laws against such barbaric acts. This incident not only highlights the reportedly cruel act itself but also raises questions about the enforcement of existing animal protection laws in the region.
The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, along with Sections 428 and 429 of the Indian Penal Code, explicitly prohibits causing unnecessary pain or suffering to any animal. However, incidents like these suggest a gap in the implementation of these laws, making it imperative to demand immediate and decisive action against the perpetrators. Ensure that those found responsible for this vile act are brought to justice.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Police Commissioner,
A recent distressing incident in Ghaziabad has come to our attention. A defenseless dog was reportedly subjected to a brutal attack, resulting in severe injuries. The visuals shared by an X user, showing the dog screaming in pain as it received treatment, have shocked and disturbed many. This incident not only reflects a gross violation of animal rights but also raises serious questions about the enforcement of animal cruelty laws in our society.
The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, and pertinent sections of the Indian Penal Code are clear in their stance against such acts of violence. Yet, such incidents continue to occur, indicating a need for a more robust implementation of these laws. It is crucial that the perpetrators of this heinous act are identified and subjected to the full extent of legal repercussions to serve as a deterrent against future acts of cruelty.
We urge you to take immediate and stringent action against those responsible for this reprehensible act. Ensuring justice in this case will not only uphold the spirit of the laws designed to protect animals but also send a clear message about our society’s intolerance towards such acts of cruelty. We trust in your commitment to justice and look forward to your prompt action in this matter.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

India fails its animals. The way in which a country treats its animals foretells the way they will be viewed by the world.
This country treats animals like shit. India can go to hell!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – not everyone in India is an animal abuser. Out of billions of people, there is probably a small percentage of abusers. How many petitions have YOU signed from the US?! Believe me, there are plenty. We are NOT Saints! Every country needs to make harsh laws governing treatment of animals, and these laws NEED to be enforced! Having a law on the books does nothing until the breaking of it is followed through with the punishment.
