A shocking incident has unfolded on the premises of the Christian
Medical College in Vellore, India, which is regarded as one of the most
prestigious universities in the country. The body of a monkey was discovered
buried on campus – the defenseless female animal, believed to be just one year
old, was viciously mistreated by four medical students right on campus.
It all started when the monkey entered the college hostel; disturbed
that the monkey had the audacity to bother them, four medical students decided
to teach the defenseless creature a lesson. They trapped the terrified animal
with a blanket, tied her up and started hitted her with sticks, before lodging
a stick behind her back. They later took the lifeless body and buried it
somewhere behind the college hostel. Reports indicate that as many as 30 people
witnessed the scene; it is unclear why no one intervened.
The word about this terrible incident got out immediately and animal
rights activists arrived at the scene to investigate. Dinesh Baba, Nishanth
Nichu, Shravan Krishnan and Antony Rubin, the team of activists that responded
to the tips, exhumed the body of the animal that was found behind the boy’s
hostel.
Conclusions of the post mortem investigation were nothing short of
appalling: ‘The medical reports indicate that the monkey’s hands and legs were
tied up with a phone wire. Her knee, neck and ankle were all severely
fractured, indicating she had been stomped on multiple times. Probably the
worst part is that were we found a sharp object that was lodged in her back and
came out from the front’.
The monkey that was put down without mercy belonged to the Bonnet
Macaque species and is considered protected species under Indian laws.
The authors of this inhumane act have been identified as Jasper Samuel
Sahoo, Rohit Kumar Yenukotti, Arun Loui Sasi Kumar and Alex Chekalayil. Two of them are pictured above; the others deleted all their social media profiles and could no longer be traced. The
university immediately suspended the four students after an internal
preliminary investigation.
While we, the undersigned, appreciate the quick response from
university officials, the punishment is certainly not enough and we hereto
demand true justice. Their actions are a clear breach of various sections of
the Wildlife Protection Act of 1972 and we demand that the law is applied to
the fullest as soon as possible. In addition, in light of their recent actions,
it has become obvious that these ruthless people should never be allowed to obtain
a medical license, therefore we demand the four perpetrators are never allowed
to be enrolled in an Indian medical university again.
Please sign the petition to ensure these monsters are strictly
punished and true justice is achieved. Do not let them get away with a slap on
the wrist!
