Halt Mass Execution of Stray Dogs

Target: Yogi Adityanath, Chief Minister of Utar Pradesh, India

Goal: Immediately halt the mass execution of stray dogs that is taking place in India.

Hanged from tree branches, buried alive, bleeding to death amongst piles of garbage: these represent just a few of the horrific deaths reportedly endured by stray dogs in India. For the past few weeks, hundreds of dogs have reportedly been summarily executed in and around the district of Sitapur. Worse yet, these killings have allegedly been sanctioned and carried out by community members, with some hired executioners possibly even profiting from each killing.

The alleged mass murder of these vulnerable animals is in part a response to the deaths of several local children. Although many experts believe the children may have passed away from the bites of wild animals like hyenas, some of the media reports potentially misidentified community strays as the culprits. As a result of likely false accusations, these dogs have reportedly, in essence, become sacrificial lambs for grieving communities.

Advocates for the animals have petitioned state officials to direct an immediate end to these senseless vigilante killings. Sign this petition to lend your voice to this rallying cry against injustice.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Chief Minister Adityanath,

“indiscriminate and inhuman killing”…

This is the serious charge advocates allege is taking place within your state. If false media reports have created dangerous conditions for Sitapur’s animal population, then we urge you to take swift and immediate action.

Over 150 vulnerable stray dogs have allegedly lost their lives in the coldest, most brutal manners, from hangings to live burials. If district officials have taken any part in condoning these massacres or even participated in them, they have violated a court order that forbids such killings. Please ensure that officials are working within the spirit of the law and honoring their duty to protect all of the community’s living beings.

Stop the tragedies today.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]

  1. This mass killing must be stopped! It is not the answer and only breeds more and more animals to suffer! Spay and neuter, inoculate for disease! Don’t believe in false beliefs and stories! Compassion goes a longer way than murder!

  2. Derinda Nilsson says:

    What a bunch of sadistic people. This is not what these poor dogs was intended for. STOP THIS BRUTAL SENSELESS MURDERS NOW PLEASE!!!!

  3. Patricia Stock says:

    Maybe you ought to do this to the people. It would solve your overpopulation problem.

  4. These really are the actions of a third world country. These killings are carried out in a disgusting and primitive way. India- you are a backward, mindless, cruel and incompetent country-generations behind the world’s leading countries. Yet I have indian friends who are fighting the shameful cruelty to animals- good people who do a good job but- there are far too few of them to fight against the uneducated. This vast country has far to go but where there is kindness there is hope.

    • Rose, I have just this minute written to the leaders of Florida, USA, accusing them of running a backward country, “just like India or China” in response to an email I received from In Defence of Animals (IDA) in which was described the disgusting goings-on at no less than four illegal slaughter/torture establishments in the state of Florida, and where despite much video footage, sworn statements etc, the authorities were refusing to act. Look it up for yourself, but be warned, it makes for sickening reading. Evil people are EVERYWHERE. We none of us have decent countries where animal welfare is concerned.

    • teresa romero says:

      I guess ‘a nicer approach’ would do the trick … using bad language won’t accomplish anything …

    • teresa romero says:

      I think that using bad language won’t get you anywhere; a nicer approach sometimes it’s more effective!

  8. Jaime Perez says:

    This horror must stop now. This is gruesome and inhumane.

  9. Gabriela Torres says:

    Dear Chief Minister Adityanath,

    Please stop the “indiscriminate and inhuman killing”… of stray dogs in your country.
