What is animal cruelty? 

Animal cruelty is a heinous act that inflicts pain, suffering and distress on innocent creatures. The disturbing video of a man violently handling a cat, spinning around and callously tossing it into the air while wrapped in a bag, is a heart-wrenching example of this cruelty. Such actions not only cause physical harm but also emotional trauma to the animal, leaving it feeling helpless and frightened. It is essential to condemn and report such incidents, ensuring the perpetrator is held accountable and the animal receives the care and protection it deserves.

Demand for intervention

There has been a widespread public outcry demanding action from the authorities. The Uttar Pradesh Police have been urged to intervene and address this alarming issue. Residents and animal rights advocates are calling on the police to take strict action against those who exploit and harm animals for social media content. The growing concern reflects a broader call for more responsible use of social media platforms and a stronger commitment to protecting animal welfare.
