Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, India
India is the only country in world that provides in its Constitution for mercy and care of the animals.
BUT ......
Here's
proof that the Meerut administration has unleashed shocking brutality
on the stray dogs in the area to protect & shield the ILLEGAL
CATTLE SLAUGHTER HOUSES.
For
the government of Uttar Pradesh state, India and its functionaries it seems like a perfect
solution that people are venting out their anger by killing ALL and
INNOCENT dogs. It suits the bureaucracy as it does not to bother the
SLAUGHTER HOUSES and STOP the EVER FOURISHING TRADE OF Illegal
CATTLE MEAT INDUSTRY in Meerut.
In a tragic incident, a five-year-old boy who had gone
out in search of his mother in a field, has been attacked and bitten to
death by a pack of street dogs at Kazipur, Meerut. As a result the villagers are eliminating each stray by brutally killing them.
They are ostensibly 'remedying' the situation that led to death of two children in village Kazipur, Meerut, allegedly due to stray dog attacks. In
fact, there is an illegal abattoir in village Kazipur, which is
violating every possible norm - pollution control, animal waste
disposal, etc. Apparently, 5000 animals, mainly cattle, INCLUDING COWS
are slaughtered in the abattoir every day - and then, the animal parts
that are not used, and blood, bones, etc., are all allowed to flow into
an open nullah adjacent to the abattoir, that flows through village
Kazipur and beyond. The strays of the area
feed on these animal remains as a consequence ; or attacked children
who ventured too close to the nullah that is their food source.
THIS IS THE REAL CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM .
THE ADMINISTRATION TURNS A BLIND EYE TO THIS WHILE PEOPLE TAKE LAW IN THEIR HANDS. PEOPLE ARE ENJOYING THE ACT OF KILLING DOGS AS AN ENTERTAINMENT FOR THEM (see pictures).
In
any event, what has followed, and continues to unfold every single day,
is murder, and cruelty beyond belief. They are caught, they are
cornered, many have been viciously beaten to death. The dogs are caught
in the most brutal manner possible, kept without food and water for 2 -
3 days until a sizeable number are 'collected', and then - mainly
released into the forest, or surreptitiously put down or beaten to death
AS NO LAW AND ORDER IS RESPECTED IN MEERUT anymore.
INCLUDING
THE POLICE, D.M., MAYOR, or U.P. GOVERNMENT, no one is bothered to
stop/ control people from taking the law in their hands and brutally
slaughtering dogs using innovative methods, which also includes use of arms and weapons.
All this despite the SUPREME COURT of INDIA has put a STAY AGAINST ANY KIND OF KILLING OF DOGS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
series of photographs are attached, forwarded by Jeev Karuna Sanstha, Meerut. Some of them are 15 - 25 days old, and some as recent as 3 - 5 days.
The Animal Welfare Board of India has written
thrice to various functionaries within the administration. They have
advised the administration regarding the correct method of controlling
stray dog population. They have apprised them as to the law - the PCA
Act, the ABC Rules, etc. They have offered help and guidance, for
setting up the requisite sterilization, immunization infrastructure
within Meerut. Eventually, they have threatened legal action, but to no
avail.
PLEASE lets all write to them &
Let them know that we know what is going on and we condemn the
government and their functionaries for loosing the control over law and
order in their state & one small city and for protecting an ILLEGAL
SLAUGHTER HOUSE of CATTLE.
