Four men allegedly gang-raped and brutally tortured a male dog in Malwani area of Malad West in Mumbai on Saturday, according to a report by Deccan Chronicle.
An animal welfare non-government organisation ‘Animals Matter To Me’ (AMTM) stated that the dog has been taken to veterinary, where he is currently undergoing treatment.
According to a report in Deccan Chronicle, the dog was seen in Malwani Church area, who went missing for a day and after which he found lying in a pool of blood with his genitalia mutilated. Dr. Ankita Pathak, founder of ANTM told the newspaper that the dog is in severe trauma, and that if someone tries to come near to the dog or to touch him, he screams and gets scared. It appears that someone tried to fold his hind legs near the pelvis.
Veterinarians are trying to stabilize the dog by giving him treatment for pain and reducing the infection which had led the dog to bleed for an entire day.
A local resident informed DC that she regularly fed the dogs and had spotted the dog struggling with pain. She said that the dog was crying in pain and didn’t allow anyone to touch him. She later stated that she would file a police complaint against the accused.
According to the report, an auto driver had told the resident that four men had raped the dog while in an inebriated condition. He had added that dog needs to be admitted immediately as his legs were tied tightly while he was being sexually assaulted. The dog’s loud screams alerted the driver but by the time he reached the accused had fled from the location.
