Taking to the comment section, people shared their take. “An FIR has been filed on this serious incident, whereas the accused is absconding. But in this incident, not just one person but all the people including the onlookers and the people who made the video should be considered criminals,” a user said.
“Shameful! First, he was dragged by the leg and then thrown down… Video of cruelty against a dog. This man should be punished, he should be behind bars,” added a second person.
If this man is released in a few days, his next target might be kids. Hand him over to the public as only people are capable of getting him treated. And put pressure on the Government that those who commit inhumane atrocities on animals should be hanged or harshly punished,” added another.
