In a brutal act, nearly 50 dogs burnt to death by unidentified people in Keezhamur, Tamil Nadu. The reason for doing this act is that the dogs allegedly killed their livestock. Animals Rights activist Gauri Maulekhi who came to know the incident condemned this act. She also vowed to get the culprits arrested for this brutal act.

“We do not have to become dogs with dogs. If an animal has killed a goat, there is a method to go about it. You cannot feed them pesticides and put kerosene on them. What kind of a jungle law are we following? This is an absolutely heart-rending act and we are going to get these people arrested.”

As per reports, some villagers first sedated the dogs with pesticides and poured kerosene on them before setting the animals on fire.

We can get rid of this dog bites in a clear procedure as in the law. Dogs have to be sterilized and vaccinated. This is the minimum responsibility of a citizen and the urban development departments. The incident came to light after a villager informed an animal activist P. Aswath, who ultimately brought this story to the fore.

The police have filed a complaint and booked four persons.
