JAIPUR: More than 50 stray dogs had been allegedly shot dead by way of offended villagers in Surjansar of Bikaner district. The ugly incident got here to mild after a video appearing one of the crucial strays being shot with an airgun surfaced at the social media.
While the villagers themselves admit to having killed the dogs and the police confirm that they had been shot dead, no motion has been taken because of the lack of an legit complaint. The movies of the shootings had been recorded and uploaded previous this week by way of an alert youngster of the village. Following this, the hunting of dogs has stopped.
No motion has been taken as no one has come ahead to report a complaint, stated Satya Narayan Godara, SHO, Sridungargarh police station. “We are aware of the villagers shooting the dogs dead. We have no longer performed anything as there is not any complaint.”
Villagers claimed that the dogs had been attacking their livestock and had become a risk. They employed a few males to shoot the dogs in the village with little regard for the 2001 animal welfare regulation, which prohibits the killing of stray dogs. The incident used to be shot and uploaded by way of 15-year outdated Vishnu Soni of Surjansar and his brother on their social media account. “I sought after the villagers to prevent killing the dogs and took the video,” Soni stated.
‘Wanted villagers to prevent killing the dogs’
“I sought after the villagers to prevent killing the dogs and took the video. Two months again, a couple of dogs had attacked some locals and the livestock in the fields. The villagers had attempted to kill them, but the dogs ran away.
When the dogs got here again, the villagers accrued a sum of Rs 23,000 from the entire prepared households to pay the lads to kill them in and round village for 15 days. We uploaded the video to prevent them.” The video which is with IdealNews displays a man shooting a canine with an airgun.
Vishnu Soni added that the our bodies of the dogs had been disposed in a ditch outside the village. “A policeman used to be sent to our village after they got to find out about it. But the folk misled them by way of claiming that the dogs had attacked the children. It’s no longer false, but the ones incidents came about a few months again. Why kill the entire dogs now?” he asked.
The villagers, then again handle that they killed the dogs with sticks and a village elder said that the dogs had been attacking their cows.
