Target: C. V. Anand, Director General of Police, Telangana, India
Goal: Investigate the alleged killing of approximately 300 dogs with poisonous injections and pursue prosecution and substantial punishment for everyone proved responsible.
A burial site reportedly held dozens of dog carcasses. Behind that discovery lies an even larger allegation: that approximately 300 community dogs were killed with poisonous injections. A complaint names village officials among those allegedly responsible.
The complaint concerns Pegadapally village. Police reported exhuming approximately 70 to 80 carcasses during the initial inquiry. An FIR was registered naming the sarpanch and panchayat secretary. Allegations of an electoral motive also require investigation.
Community dogs deserve protection regardless of whether anyone owns them. Public concerns about roaming animals call for lawful, humane responses and effective public services. Sign to demand a thorough investigation, prosecution wherever evidence supports charges, and substantial penalties upon conviction for any proven role in these alleged killings.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear DGP Anand,
Please ensure that the alleged poisoning and burial of hundreds of dogs near Pegadapally village receives sustained, independent scrutiny. We ask you to establish the number of animals affected, their causes of death, and whether any person directed, financed, or carried out unlawful killing. Local office must not shield wrongdoing proved.
Have investigators connect veterinary findings with witness accounts, relevant communications, and any records of payments or materials. The allegation that poisonous injections were used warrants careful toxicological examination. Preserve burial-site evidence and document the limits of what can be established from the recovered remains. People with relevant information should be able to cooperate without intimidation, while the rights of those accused remain protected throughout the inquiry.
Where evidence establishes offenses, ensure a complete case reaches prosecutors and support a sentencing request that reflects the number of animals harmed, deliberate planning, and any proven abuse of entrusted authority. We seek meaningful punishment after conviction and measures within your powers to prevent further unlawful killing. Please give the alleged victims a response proportionate to the gravity of the complaint, with public updates that explain progress without compromising proceedings.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
