Target: Ajaykumar Landge, Senior Police Inspector of Panvel Police Department
Goal: Seek justice in mass poisoning that killed 30 dogs.
Thirty stray dogs became victims of a horrific mass poisoning in Panvel, India. The defenseless animals, beloved amongst the local tribal populations, ingested food laced with poison. Animal advocates described the deaths as “agonizing.” These advocates are now calling upon the police department to find answers.
Many of the bodies were recovered after locals demanded an investigation. One activist lamented: “we are very disturbed to see how healthy dogs have been killed en masse…although there are animal protection laws in place.” Tragically, this case seems part of a troubling trend in India. Recently, eight dogs were poisoned while nearly two dozen puppies were allegedly thrown out into the wild at a housing complex in another region. Further, July 9 will mark the anniversary of another mass poisoning of 60 dogs in Nerul: a day recognized as Poison Biscuit Day. In some of these incidents, politicians have even been accused of ordering the animals’ executions.
Sign this petition to demand authorities follow the rule of law and do a complete investigation, including post-mortem exams, to bring the individuals responsible for this callous act of animal cruelty to justice.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Inspector Landge,
The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act has stood as a hallmark of Indian legislation for 60 years. This important law recognizes the right of animals to enjoy a life free from abuse, exploitation, and murder by human hands. The poisoning of 30 dogs in Panvel is a case study in why this law was needed.
By all accounts, these animals endured an agonizingly painful death after their food sources were deliberately laced with poison. This cruel act represents the second mass poisoning of canines taking place in India within a month. As Poison Biscuit Day still looms, please send a forceful message that these sick actions will not be tolerated or enabled.
Utilize every available resource to ensure justice for these fallen victims and for all vulnerable animals.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Do the same to those who did this horrific act!
This is an OUTRAGE and this type of animal abuse and cruelty is unacceptable.
This fucking third world country should be ashamed of itself for the way they treat their dogs. I wouldn’t step foot in your horrendous country.
NO WONDER SUCH CALAMITY BEFALL THEIR COUNTRY AND MAY DIED–WHOM EVER ORDER THE POISONING OF THESE VOICELESS DOGS WILL HAVE THE SAME BACK FIRE ON THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES.
I hope you are right – they have no right to live, wicked RETARDS
India spay and neuter your homeless dogs and cats for free–have feeding/water stations–so you won’t have unwanted puppies/dogs to have them murdered–GOD IS WATCHING AND HE TALKS BACK.
YOU BASTARDS CRIMINALS
Bastards!
OMG, DO THE MONSTERS INVOLVED IN THIS KNOW HOW HORRIFICALLY PAINFUL AND CRUEL IT IS TO POISON ANYTHING? RIP POOR ANIMALS AND WE THE PUBLIC OF THE WORLD DEMAND, YES DEMAND JUSTICE FOR THESE ANIMALS AND THESE KILLINGS STOP NOW. WE ARE WATCHING TO MAKE SURE THAT HAPPENS.
BOYCOTT ANY COUNTRY THAT DOESN’T STOP THESE SLAUGHTERS. DON’T VACATION THERE, BUY PRODUCTS FROM THERE OR DO BUSINESS WITH THEM EITHER. WHEN THIS HAPPENS ALL THE $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ WILL DRY UP AND THEN AUTHORITIES WILL MAKE SURE THESE HORRIFIC MURDERS AND POISONINGS WILL STOP.
I curse those responsible in act or command to suffer as these innocent souls have suffered. Be sure your actions DO have consequences. No matter who you are.
I have worked as a Forensic Mental Health Professional and trauma therapist for over 25 years. During this time, I have contracted with jails, prisons, and community corrections in various states, after working as a correctional officer for a few years. I can attest that there is a very strong correlation between the way people treat animals of any kind and the way they can all-too-easily, and without hesitation, remorse, or empathy, treat fellow human beings. If you would not want your son, daughter, sister, brother, grandchild, or parent treated this way, take a stand and sign every petition against animal abuse that you can find – wild and domestic, in the USA and across the world! YES, the pictures & videos are heart-wrenching but ignoring them does not solve the problem. Be brave for the innocent; when you ignore this cruel, heart-less behavior, you are giving more power to the abusers.
Once again I agree with you
Instigation of the death penalty and nothing less must be implemented for these vile bastards.I am ready,willing and able to help implement this essential procedure enabling a slow and agonising death for these bastards!
This is so far beyond anything imaginable that a human being could even consider. I am so disgusted and angry
