Animal Cruelty Case – 02:
A 45-day-old puppy was brutally killed by unknown persons at Mira Road on Sunday night. An FIR has now been lodged by local activists at the Kashimira police station."The animal cruelty has shocked everyone here because the pup's body was cut into two by using some sharp instrument or a weapon. It happened close to the JP North Garden City complex at Mira Road. A fellow activist Munmun Singh filed the FIR, while I am further coordinating with the police so that the culprits can be nabbed," said Mira Road resident Herald Monteiro. He further added that due to fewer street lights in the area, police have so far not been able to trace the culprits."The killed puppy belonged to a mother dog who is now taking care of four other puppies. The female dog had to breastfeed the surviving pups even as the body of the killed puppy was found," added Monteiro. Activist Vijay Mohanani of the Bombay Animal Rights (BAR) said: "It is indeed a heinous animal cruelty crime. The paws of the victim pup have also been chopped by the unknown culprits. We hope that the cops soon identify and book them."

Animal Cruelty Case – 03:
Hours after she gave birth to four puppies in Khudda Sanaur village of Patiala last Saturday, a dog was beaten with sticks and bricks and dragged from a motorcycle for at least two kilometers till she died, after which her body was dumped in a pond. After two eyewitnesses informed rescue group Janhit Sewa Samiti about the incident, her four newborn pups were rescued, but two of them died on Thursday. An FIR was registered after an autopsy of the carcass. The report confirmed severe injuries to the skull and private parts of the animal. Four days on, Patiala Police are yet to make an arrest. While the incident happened on Sunday morning (the dog gave birth late Saturday), Patiala Police registered the FIR two days later (on Tuesday). The accused, a man identified as Manga Singh, and his mother, are absconding and their home is locked, they said. Simran Kaur Mehrok (24), a nursing student in Patiala and volunteer with Janhit Sewa Samiti, who rescued the four pups and got the dog‘s autopsy conducted after recovering her body from the pond Monday, said she received a call on Sunday evening from some local village youths who were initially ―very scared to reveal anything‖ and just asked her to rescue four puppies as their mother had died. ―They saw a man thrashing the dog mercilessly with sticks and stones. She had just delivered four babies on July 4 and the next day at around 11 am, the man beat the dog till she fell unconscious and then dragged her after tying her to a motorbike. Those two youths tried to intervene and save her but the accused verbally abused them. The dog had already died by then,‖ said Mehrok.
