Target: Eknath Shinde, Chief Minister of Maharashtra
Goal: Prosecute owner allegedly responsible for forcing dog to endure painful train ride in cramped backpack.
In Mumbai of the Indian state of Maharashtra, a golden retriever named Minnie was allegedly forced to endure a lengthy train ride while confined in a small backpack worn by her owner. Video footage shows the dog in what appears to be an uncomfortable position, prompting concern from fellow passengers and viewers online.
While some passengers found the sight endearing, many expressed serious concerns about the dog’s welfare. Observers noted that keeping a dog in the same cramped position for an extended time could cause pain and discomfort, potentially harming the animal’s health and well-being.
Subjecting animals to potential pain and discomfort for personal convenience or attention is unacceptable and may constitute animal cruelty under the law. Legal action is necessary to hold those allegedly responsible accountable and prevent similar future mistreatment. Ensure appropriate measures are taken to protect animals from such treatment.
