A shocking incident of animal cruelty has emerged from Tamil Nadu’s Tirchy, where a 28-year-old woman killed two newborn stray puppies by smashing them against a wall following a heated dispute with her neighbour.
The disturbing act was reportedly triggered after the neighbour threw a stone at the woman’s three-year-old son during an argument. Police have since arrested the woman and registered a case under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.
You have got to be insanely sick and twisted to pick up a puppy and throw it like this.
How do some humans become worse than animals?
