Animal lovers protest dog killings in Sitapur
Some dog lovers assembled at Lohia Park open auditorium in Lucknow on Wednesday to discuss the alleged killing of dogs in Sitapur by angry villagers following the deaths of kids in the area. Around 20 animal lovers who assembled there said that dogs were hanged, beaten to death and hacked by group of goons. They were being killed while sleeping or even while playing with children.
They called on the people to protect the dogs, who were the only ones standing between the attacking pack and the children. “The creatures cannot speak but their lives are as precious as ours,” said Kamna Pandey, animal rights activist.
SOCIAL MEDIA AFLUTTER
The issue has also flared up on social media, with various animal right activists running a campaign, blaming the district administration and media for substituting facts. The activists have made unverified claims that hyenas or other wild animals are behind the attacks instead of dogs.
The Sitapur District administration has refuted such claims and invited such organisations to see the efforts being made to control the attacks in the district.
