                          Sub: Protection of dogs in our locality

Dear Sir,

This is with regard to the cruelty of animals in our locality. I have noticed many times that some residents in the locality are ill-treating stray dogs even if the latter are not harming any passers-by. These dogs are very friendly to the children and are in fact act like gaurd dogs protecting the children from strangers who enter the colony.

Yesterday, I witnessed Mr. Abhishek Desai throwing stones and hurting a dog badly. The dog had to be taken to a local vet for first aid. In stead of the residents' ill-treatment, the dogs can be used as gaurd dogs and also they can be vaccinated against rabies.

I request you to kindly look into the matter and deal with the situation with humanitarian outlook. I promise my whole-hearted support and contribution in this regard.

Thank you

                                                                                        Yours sincerely,

                                                                                        Ms. Leela Sawant

Subject: Residents’ apathy towards stray dogs

Sir:

I am writing to your good self to bring to your kind notice the cruel attitude of some of the residents towards the stray dogs in our locality. I became very upset when last week I saw some people teasing stray dogs on the road. They were sitting in the cool shade of trees, when some residents began shooing them away. These dogs are not stray and dangerous to the people of our locality in any manner. They have become kind of pet dogs of the locality as many people feed them. At night these dogs watch our houses and start barking whenever any stranger intrudes. Can’t these animals be just left on their own?  

The other day I was reading an article on internet. I came to know that cruelty against animals is illegal in our country! According to the Constitution of India: “It is the fundamental duty of every citizen of India to have compassion for all living creatures. Article 51A (g).” There is another law that says, “To kill or maim any animal, including stray animals, is a punishable offence. IPC Sections 428 and 429.”

I appeal to you to look into the matter and do something for these innocent dogs.

Thanking you,

Yours truly,

Raman Singla
