Target: Bhajan Lal Sharma, Chief Minister of Rajasthan, India
Goal: Secure felony-level charges and maximum penalties for the caretaker reportedly caught on camera violently slamming and beating a helpless dog.
A horrifying home-security video reportedly captures a house help lifting a small dog named Sophie high into the air and hurling her onto the floor. Moments later, the same woman appears to strike the terrified animal repeatedly while the dog cowers and tries desperately to escape. This alleged assault occurred while the guardians were away, entrusting their beloved companion’s safety to the caretaker.
As reported, Sophie soon exhibited intense fear and trauma that prompted her guardians to review the footage—revealing the disturbing scene. The dog is now under veterinary treatment for injuries sustained during the apparent attack. Such vicious handling not only inflicts physical pain but can leave deep psychological scars that linger long after wounds heal.
Swift, deterrent legal action is essential. Without meaningful consequences, those who purportedly torture animals behind closed doors may feel emboldened to reoffend. Enforcing India’s animal-cruelty statutes to the fullest extent will send a clear message that deliberate violence against a trusting companion will not be tolerated.
PETITION LETTER:
Commissioner CM Sharma,
Video evidence reportedly shows a house help violently slamming a small dog named Sophie onto a hard floor, then beating the terrified animal as she cried and tried to flee. Veterinary professionals treating Sophie have documented her injuries and trauma.
This alleged act represents extreme cruelty—an intentional infliction of suffering on a sentient being entrusted to the perpetrator’s care. Allowing such brutality to go lightly punished risks normalizing abuse and endangers other vulnerable animals who may be left with individuals prone to violence.
We respectfully urge your office to ensure that investigators pursue all applicable felony-level charges, gather comprehensive evidence, and advocate for the maximum penalties, including imprisonment and a lifetime animal-ownership ban. A strong stance now will protect countless animals and affirm society’s commitment to compassion and justice.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
