Attacks on animals: NGO offers reward for information


After a series of attacks on cats and dogs around the Dombivli and Kalyan fish market areas, animal activists have come together to post a reward of Rs10,000 to catch the attackers. Just a week ago, Plant and Animals Welfare Society (PAWS), an NGO working for the rescue and treatment of animals, picked up a dog that was bleeding profusely after being struck on its back with a fish chopper. The animal was rushed to the Bombay Society for Prevention of Cruelty against Animals (BSPCA) hospital for treatment.

“We have had several cases of cats and dogs being brutally attacked and poisoned, with most of the attacks being made with a fish chopper. We have stuck posters announcing a reward of Rs10000 for anyone with information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for this crime,” said Nilesh Bhanage, founder, PAWS.

The reward is being offered by the Federation of Indian Animal Protection Organisations (FIAPO), which is based in Delhi. No one has offered up any information on the attacks yet.
