‘Rescued dogs’ found under heaps of scrap at Badlapur shelter house
Animal feeders from Vikhroli are at their wits’ end trying to get an FIR registered in a case where seven dogs were allegedly shoved under a scrap heap at a shelter house in Badlapur. The matter came to light when a feeder found out that the dogs were missing from the embassy park area in Vikhroli.
The company had claimed that the dogs in the area had been behaving aggressively and had hence been shifted to a shelter home in Badlapur. However, they had no permission from BMC to relocate the dogs,” said Rita Monteiro, a dog lover.
“We had to conduct several meetings before the company told us that the dogs had been moved to safe and hygienic conditions at Jannat Shelter House, Badlapur,” a community animal feeder told mid-day on condition of anonymity.
The employees of the shelter house had initially shown the feeders that the dogs were all kept in a safe, hygienic environment, “The dogs were kept in a room and they had assured us that all the dogs would be safe,” Monteiro said.
However, on December 1, when a team of feeders went to the shelter, they found out that the dogs were bundled under a pile of scrap.
“We suspect they had even been intoxicated. Faecal matter was stuck to the pile of scraps and the dogs seemed terrified. We rescued six dogs; one was missing. They are currently undergoing treatment. Two dogs had maggots on their wounds and we have sent blood samples to see if they have been infected by some disease,” Monteiro said.
