    Video of man fatally shooting his pet dog goes viral

    What's the story

    A video of a man in Punjab's Badbar village shooting dead his pet pit bull two days ago has since gone viral, highlighting once again the dastardly behavior that dogs in India often experience.

    The dog's owner, Satbir Singh, reportedly claims that it was unstable for two days and therefore had to be killed.

    Satbir and his friend were arrested but were later bailed.

    Details

    The dog was biting aggressively since two days

    Though the video has been widely shared on social media, 32-year-old Satbir says he doesn't know who uploaded it online.

    He says the dog was attacking his buffalo and was a potential risk to his children. So, he killed it but never thought of taking it to a vet.

    Dangerous pets should be sterilized or kept in a kennel, never killed, argue animal activists.

    Measures

    Animal rights organization writes to Maneka Gandhi demanding strict action

    The dog's body has been now sent for post-mortem.

    According to a Hindustan Times report, an FIR was filed only after Fauna Police, an animal rights organization, sought strict action against the culprits in an email that it wrote to women and child development minister Maneka Gandhi, the Punjab director general of police, and the Animal Welfare Board of India.

    Other instances

    Being cruel to dogs and filming it isn't unusual

    This isn't the first viral video showing cruelty towards dogs.

    Last year, two students threw a dog off a terrace in Chennai for fun and filmed it, sparking a nationwide outrage.

    Recently, a man was teaching his dog to write alphabets and beating him every time it didn't pay attention. Both the man and the person filming the video were giggling throughout the clip.
