Is this fun ??

Read this story in today’s Mid-Day…and it makes me sick. Where has the humanity in today’s youth gone??

Two youngsters driving a Fiat Palio whipped out their new air gun and fired at two street dogs who were asleep, grievously injuring them, and sped away laughing. The incident occurred late in the night on September 21, outside Goa Bhavan, JVPD Scheme, Juhu.

Sushma Borkar, an animal lover from the area, who has been feeding the dogs for the last three years, rushed the animals to the Andheri-based Karuna Foundation, where a surgery was performed on the dogs. “I am sure that this was done deliberately – a cheap prank by a rich man’s son.” Borkar added that she had got the dogs vaccinated and sterilised earlier.

Arvind Shah, animal welfare officer from Karuna told Mid Day, “Both the dogs are in a critical condition. One dog had to have a major surgery as the bullet had perforated the windpipe. It is unbelievably cruel that they were shot at.”

That really sucks! Can’t imagine why anybody would like to do that? What are we growing up to be – some trigger-happy individuals?
