Sharing the story on Instagram, the user wrote, “We are deeply disturbed to share the plight of a dog in Morewadi, Kolhapur. This innocent dog, owned by a doctor and his wife, faces torture and strangulation every day while tied up. He can't even move around to save himself. It's heartbreaking to think about the suffering this poor creature endures.”
In light of the harsh reality that education alone cannot foster empathy, the post raises many questions about how individuals who are capable of such cruelty toward helpless animals can fulfill their professional duties, particularly in fields where saving lives is the primary goal.
“Education has nothing to do with compassion, and this is a clear example! It's concerning to imagine how someone who inflicts such cruelty on a defenseless animal treats their own patients? Isn’t saving lives their profession? Is there no value for animal lives? Are any of us truly safe if this is the level of empathy displayed in their homes?” the post further reads.
It also states that the dog's well-being is seriously threatened by its owner's constant abuse. Even after rescuers tried to step in and help, the owners are still unwilling to give it up. In order to save the dog from this horrible circumstance, the user is pleading with people to come together.
