A shocking video of a harmless stray dog being run over with a car
on purpose has emerged online. The appalling incident took place on the streets
of Vasai, India. Please show your support and demand justice for Bandya the
dog!
This incident is just one of the latest shocking cases of cruelty to
animals that have recently unfolded in India. The CCTV cameras show how the
driver runs over the sleeping stray dog intentionally – even though the driver
saw the poor dog, he did not hesitate to simply run him over with a red Hyundai
Xcent vehicle. All of this was an act of revenge because the stray had allegedly
wetted the driver’s vehicle earlier that day.
The cruel driver has been identified as Saurabh Dukhande. Desperate
passers-by urged the man to take the dog to a clinic, but Dukhande refused and
drove off like the coward he is. Fortunately, the dog was rushed to a nearby
veterinarian and is now receiving medical attention for his broken spine.
When confronted by critics online, Dukhande showed absolutely no
remorse about what he had done, claiming that the dog ‘had it coming’.
Unfortunately, cruelty to animals in India carries symbolic
penalties – such as a 50 Rupee (0.75 USD) fine. Without tougher animal welfare
laws, it will be impossible to punish heartless people like Saurabh Dukhande.
Please support the petition and pursue the government to change the
law and implement tougher penalties for cruelty to animals: we demand the raise
of monetary fines as well as mandatory jail time for anyone found guilty of
hurting an animal. This is the only way to contain the rampant mistreatment of
innocent dogs that has hit India like a plague in the recent months.
Demand justice for Bandya and sign the petition now!
