Dog Reportedly Spun by Legs and Traumatized on Video Demands Justice

Target: Abinash Kumar, Superintendent of Police, Nanded District, Maharashtra, India

Goal: Secure the harshest legal penalties and mandatory psychiatric evaluation for the individual who reportedly swung a dog by its legs for an online video.

A shocking video reportedly shows a community dog shrieking in terror as a man grips the animal by its hind legs and violently whirls it through the air. The dog’s anguished cries—captured in the now-removed post—highlight the apparent torment and fear inflicted purely for social-media attention. According to animal-protection groups, the incident took place on May 13 and quickly sparked nationwide outrage.

Police have since filed charges under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita after advocacy organizations, including PETA India, intervened. Activists further contend that the accused mocked the dog’s distress by uploading the footage online, demonstrating a chilling disregard for the animal’s suffering. While local sources say the dog survived, the trauma reportedly endured cannot be overlooked.

Experts warn that such apparent cruelty may signal deeper psychological issues. Without decisive consequences—jail time, a lifetime ban on owning animals, and court-ordered counseling—this alleged abuser could remain a danger to other animals or even people. Sign below to demand that authorities set an unmistakable precedent that tormenting a defenseless creature for entertainment will never be tolerated.

PETITION LETTER:

Superintendent Kumar,

Reports indicate that a man recently swung a helpless community dog by its legs, causing the animal to cry out while the act was filmed and shared online. This disturbing footage has horrified viewers across India and demonstrates, in graphic detail, apparent intentional cruelty for personal amusement.

Your department’s prompt registration of an official report is encouraging, but justice demands more than a token response. We respectfully urge you to ensure the strongest possible charges proceed, to advocate for the maximum sentence allowable by law, and to request a court-ordered psychiatric evaluation and counseling for the accused. Meaningful penalties—including imprisonment, a lifelong ban on animal guardianship, and mandatory mental-health treatment—are critical to protecting animals and deterring future abuse.

The world is watching how this case is handled. By pushing for uncompromising accountability, you will send a powerful message that animal cruelty—especially when brazenly publicized—will meet with swift and serious consequences. We trust in your commitment to uphold the law and safeguard all vulnerable beings under your jurisdiction.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]
