On Monday, a 9-year-old labrador by the name of Bruno was brutally beaten to death by three youths in Kerala’s Adimalathura. Notably, Bruno, a black Labrador, was jointly taken care of by eight siblings. The incident came to light after one of the owners of the dog, Christuraj shared the horrifying video on his Facebook page. The incident became a talking point on Twitter, with several celebs demanding strict punushment for the culprits. Anushka Sharma, Alia Bhatt, Tiger Shroff, and Disha Patani, took to social media to call out the incident. Disha Patani wrote, "Stop animal cruelty. Every animal on this planet deserves to be loved and treated well." As for Alia, the actress was shocked with extremity of the incident and wrote, "Disgusting!! They cannot get away with this!! Until they are punished people with this twisted mindset are not going to change!! (sic)."
Tiger Shroff also called for the accused to be punished as he wrote, "Hope the culprits are found and severely punished. Unforgivable." According to a report in The News Minute, the three accused have been arrested for brutally torturing the pet dog. Visuals of the dog being tortured were shared with the owner Christuraj who then shared it on social media. Bruno went to beach on Monday but didn’t return back so one of the family member’s went to look for him and found the youths tormenting the dog. Since he was outnumbered, he didn’t do anything and kept watching the barbarism. The poor dog, tied by its neck to the hook of a boat’s fishing bait, was being beaten with heavy sticks and bats by three persons. After beating him to death, the dog was later thrown into the sea by them. After outrage over the incident, police has arrested three persons, including a minor boy. Sunil, 22, Sylvester, 20, and a 17-year-old boy were charged under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act and Indian Penal Code section pertaining to maiming of animals.
