THIS is about the shooting of a dog and violence against a donkey by some political activists as a display of hatred for the rival political parties.

The dog was draped in rival political party’s flag before being shot and killed, while the donkey was brutally beaten. It died after a few days.

Political activity is for raising a voice against poor governance and other such issues, but lately some activists expressed their anger and frustration by killing the animals.

Protest doesn’t mean killing innocent animals. Killing animals is cruelty and is a crime. Animals should be treated with love and kindness and provided proper shelter homes. The authorities should check such activities and arrest the culprits.
