Target: Chief of Police, Bagaluru, India
Goal: Ensure appropriate punishment for the domestic helper who allegedly killed Goofy, a pet dog, in a brutal act of violence.
The shocking incident involving the alleged killing of a small pet dog named Goofy in a lift by a domestic help, identified as Pushpalatha, has sent shockwaves through the community. Occurring on October 31, this heart-wrenching episode was caught on CCTV, with footage seemingly showing the accused throwing the defenseless dog inside the lift and subjecting it to extreme violence. Goofy’s owner, Rashi Poojari, was devastated upon discovering this alleged horrific act and promptly filed a complaint, leading to the arrest of Pushpalatha. A case has been registered under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960.
Evidence from the CCTV footage allegedly depicts a clear act of cruelty that must be met with the strictest of consequences. Pushpalatha had been employed by the family for only about one-and-a-half months prior to this incident and reportedly attempted to evade arrest following the filing of the FIR. Under Section 325 of the BNS, inflicting intentional harm or killing animals is categorized as a serious offense, carrying a potential punishment of up to five years in prison and a fine. The community deserves justice for Goofy and believes that this case serves as a testament to the need for strong legal measures against such egregious acts of animal cruelty.
It is vital that authorities proceed with a thorough investigation and pursue the maximum legal repercussions against the accused. The demand is clear: the judicial system must ensure that the alleged brutal act inflicted on Goofy does not go unpunished, reinforcing the message that animal cruelty will not be tolerated in society.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Chief of Police,
The recent arrest of a domestic helper, Pushpalatha, following the alleged brutal killing of a pet dog named Goofy, raises grave concerns about animal welfare in our community. In the incident, captured on CCTV, Goofy was allegedly thrown inside a lift and subjected to horrendous treatment. This has left not just the owner, Rashi Poojari, heartbroken but has also resonated deeply with animal lovers and advocates throughout Bagaluru.
Given the severe nature of this situation, it is imperative that maximum penalties are pursued under the relevant laws, especially Section 325 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and sections of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960. The community expects a swift and thorough investigation, one that demonstrates a commitment to preventing cruelty in any form and sends a strong message that such behavior will not be tolerated.
We urge you to ensure that appropriate legal actions are taken against those involved in this apparent atrocity, and to advocate for the maximum punishment allowable by law for Pushpalatha. Justice for Goofy is crucial, not only for the sake of the pet but as a reflection of our societal values toward all sentient beings.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
