What happened to Brownie was shocking. Is your pet safe?

The incident of a pet dog named Brownie being abducted from DLF Phase II, Gurgaon, and then being beaten to death has created a stir among animal lovers. People For Animals (PFA) has been closely following the development in the case since they came across posters of the missing dog on April 15.

The owner of the dog, Anupama Shrivastav, found Brownie missing on April 1. She said the dog was roaming outside the house.

The PFA team suggested taking the matter to the police and Shrivastav filed a complaint with the local police on April 17. Shrivastav also put out 2,000 posters with her pet's photo, announcing a cash reward of Rs 5,000 to anyone who brought Brownie back. 

Later, she received information that Brownie had been kidnapped by a group of youngsters living in the nearby Sikanderpur village. She was told that Brownie's mouth and limbs had been tied up before being kidnapped. She was also told that the youth had beaten the animal to death.  

A video that has gone viral and is currently in the custody of police shows the kidnappers talking about dog meat. One of the young men has been identified as Phillip (full name not known). The PFA team, despite all its efforts, could not save the dog.

 

 

The incident has come as a shock to pet owners and animal lovers across the NCR. With the alarming number of animal-cruelty cases in the news these days, pet owners are feeling helpless and insecure. When pets can be abducted, killed and eaten, street dogs are obviously way more vulnerable. 

Talking to City Spidey, Amit Chaudhery, president of PFA Gurgaon, said, “There is apparently a vicious and illicit meat trade going on in Gurgaon. Operating in a clandestine manner, the perpetrators violate several aspects of the law. As with all illegal activities, if not curbed at this stage, this can snowball into a disaster."

The people with pet dogs have been extra careful ever since the incident. “I have a pug and he often roams around without a leash," said Sushil Kadyan, a resident of Sector 57. "Now I can’t think of leaving him alone.” 

Another dog owner, Dr Sarabjit Singh, said, “I am a veterinary doctor and understand the psychology of animals. They are innocent and it is easy to lure them away by people who show affection."
