HOW? Delhi police catches 30 goats, sheep from single car | VIDEO

New Delhi: In a disturbing incident, Delhi Police swiftly intervened to rescue 30 goats and a sheep found crammed inside a Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire car in the Civil Lines area. A video capturing the incident has sparked outrage online, highlighting a blatant case of animal cruelty.

Alarming discovery and swift rescue

On Wednesday, the Delhi Police Station in Civil Lines received a PCR call alerting them to a large number of goats confined within a grey Swift Dzire parked in the vicinity. Acting promptly, officers reached the scene and located the vehicle. The distressing reality unfolded as they discovered 30 goats and a sheep crammed inside the small sedan – a wholly unsuitable and dangerous means of transport for such a significant number of animals.

Confined in cruelty

The circumstances surrounding how these animals ended up in such a cramped and stifling environment remain unclear. However, there is no denying the immense stress and potential health risks this ordeal inflicted upon them. Shoving so many creatures into a confined space with limited ventilation constitutes a clear violation of animal welfare laws.

Accountability and action

The Delhi Police have rightfully taken both the animals and the car into their custody. An investigation is currently underway to determine those responsible for this act of animal cruelty. The rescued goats and sheep have been placed in the care of the Delhi Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (DSPCA) in Tis Hazari.

Public outcry and importance of animal welfare

The video documenting this incident has garnered significant attention online, with many expressing disgust and demanding action against the perpetrators. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of animal welfare and the need for stricter enforcement of laws protecting creatures from such abuse.
