Pregnant stray dog blinded and beaten
The badly beaten pregnant stray dog with one eye hanging from its socket is now currently undergoing treatment at the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) Hospital, Sector 38 (West), Chandigarh.
Pradeep Singh, a resident of Raipur Khurd, who was an eyewitness to the incident, said, “The incident took place on the morning of October 11. When I heard a dog’s sharp cries, I went out and saw Harmeet Singh, Makhan Singh and Dassa – three brothers residing in my neighborhood, assaulting the animal. I immediately rushed to the spot. ” At the time I reached, the trio had brutally lacerated the dog’s eyes. “Harmeet had a sharp-edged weapon in his hand. When I confronted them, they threatened me and yelled that they would kill all unwanted dogs in the area.”
He said following the incident, his cousin Harjot Singh rushed the animal to Balongi from where it was referred to the SPCA Hospital.
“On October 14, I submitted a written complaint at the Sohana police station but there has been no action,” said Pradeep.
What the doctor says
Dr Rakesh Sharma, who is taking care of the animal at the SPCA Hospital, said, “The stray dog, which is about four and a half years old, has lost its left eye completely with the iris and eyeball hanging out. There is low vision in the other eye. We are giving it treatment so that it does not contract secondary bacterial or viral infection but the reason for its condition will be clear only after the medical report comes. Since it is pregnant, we can’t give a very high dose of medication. A surgery will be conducted on the canine after the delivery, which is expected in about five to six days.”
The medical report is expected tomorrow.
Rajeev Kumar, SHO of the Sohana police station, said, “An FIR will be registered once we get the medical report.”
