Cuttack, Odisha: A 24-year-old sweetshop vendor was arrested by the local police for reportedly poisoning at least 20 stray dogs to death in Odisha’s Cuttack district.
According to the officials, the man was irritated over the last five due to the dogs howling at night and the mess they used to make near his shop.
The residents discovered at least ten dog carcasses in a nearby pit. More carcasses were discovered in the Sankarpur village marketplace in the Tangi-Choudwar district, some 13 kilometers north of Cuttack.
According to a police officer, the accused admitted to giving the dogs poisoned food because he was upset by their howling at night and the mess they made.
The accused was booked under sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, and that the carcasses had been sent for forensic investigations.
The investigation is still ongoing.
