Another user wrote, It was hard enough to even watch half of this video. How can humans even think about hurting them What a beautiful world it would be if people had hearts half as big as dogs.!. Another user commented, Mostly males of low income area are mistreating the stray dog in the video. So whether lack of literacy, knowledge and empathy are the cause of this kind of inhuman behaviour towards the stray animals. Or it mindset to show power to the dependant or powerless. This could be the topic for research on animal cruelty.
