Target: Bhajan Lal Sharma, Chief Minister of Rajasthan, India
Goal: Ensure strict legal action against those allegedly responsible for brutalizing a puppy at BITS Pilani.
In a distressing development from India’s Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani, a young puppy has been the victim of alleged grievous abuse. Reportedly, the 3-month-old animal suffered multiple broken limbs, cuts across her body, and attempts were made to drown her. This shocking incident demands immediate and thorough investigation and appropriate legal action.
Details have emerged of the puppy’s apparent ordeal, initially brought to public attention by activist Sameer Siddiqui with the support of PETA India, leading to a report being registered. Despite these steps, there is a critical need for further action, as the institute’s response has reportedly been inadequate. Moreover, the restriction of access to the campus for the family providing care to community dogs raises serious concerns about the institute’s commitment to animal welfare.
This appalling situation not only reflects a seemingly direct violation of animal rights but also highlights a broader issue of institutional accountability and animal safety. Ensure such incidents are not overlooked and that animal welfare is prioritized within educational institutions.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear CM Sharma,
We are writing to bring your attention to a deeply troubling incident of alleged animal cruelty at BITS Pilani, where a young puppy reportedly suffered unimaginable torture. This case, highlighted by the filing of a report, involves allegations of the puppy having her limbs broken, sustaining body cuts, and being subjected to attempted drowning.
These alleged acts of cruelty not only constitute a violation of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act but also portray an apparent disregard for life and empathy within a respected educational institution. The apparent failure of BITS Pilani to respond adequately to these allegations, and their decision to restrict access for animal caregivers, raises further concerns about their policies towards community animals.
We urge you to take swift and decisive legal action against the perpetrators of this alleged abuse. It is crucial that this case be pursued vigorously to convey a strong message that animal cruelty has no place in our society, especially within educational institutions that should promote compassion and justice.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

This is unbelievable behaviour! What makes people think and take actions on with such horror and brutality? This is unacceptable. The person (s) involved, need to be held accountable for their actions and receive the harshest of penalties. As are many countries, India seems to be a staple on Force Change. This is extremely disturbing. Most times it involves stray dogs being treated maliciously and with intent. There is such a lack of respect and compassion for these animals. Spay and neutering are the key factors in lowering the stray dog population. Killing is not and should not be an option.
