Nine Puppies Allegedly Killed By A Drunk Man In Chennai

Another shocking incident of animal cruelty has come to light in Chennai. A 35-year-old drunk man has allegedly beaten 9 mongrel puppies to death at a construction site in  Anakaputhur on January, 29 morning.

The accused was identified as Guna, a resident of Avvai street in Venkateshwara. He used to supply milk to all households.

A  local resident, M Karthik has filed a complaint against the accused, who claimed to have witnessed the brutality,

“I had returned from work after my night shift and was searching for the puppies when I found one of them dead with an injury on its head. I first thought it was bitten by some other dog. As I walked around the site, I found eight more pups dead in a similar manner. Locals said a man identified as Guna had beaten them to death as they were whining. On Sunday, he came drunk and found the puppies wailing, so he allegedly beat them to death. A day later, when the locals reacted in shock and horror, Guna chose to stay mum,” he pointed out.

Following the complaint, Sankar Nagar Police has filed a case under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act 1960 and IPS sections 428, 429 and 268. However, Guna is yet to be arrested.

Karthik also said he used to feed the puppies before he went to office. There were total 11 puppies in the litter originally, of which two died of sickness recently.

“The owner of the construction site allowed the dog and the pups to stay in the site. Usually, I would feed them, did the same on Sunday night and was shocked to find them all dead on Monday morning.” he added.
