Enough Laws for humans, but what about animals. Oh I might have just missed it, there is one heard of in our locality- The SPCA (Society for the prevention of cruelty to Animals). But what if they be cruel to animals? Any laws for that?
Recently a dog had a bad day and he fell 60 feet in a dry well. A noble man named Nozar Bharucha tried calling for help. He called the PMC head quarters for help and they gave a we-don't-care response. Next he tried contacting the SPCA and they responded saying that it was not under their jurisdiction. Now all I want to know is if animal cruelty is against what they are, then what are they doing to the dog? Being cruel? I guess that is not how they define 'Prevention of Cruelty'. I question these people- who defines the limit of service for them? Time being a factor, weight of the situation, how large the animal cruelty is or under what area it is? Is their sole motive just not to protect the animals who need protection?
I was not at all pleased at how they reacted in the situation. If they do not have a means to protect the animals in practice, they better start it. Or else it's useless being an SPCA.
Luckily for the dog, there was this brave fire-brigade team who took the initiative to aid the dog on time. They never said 'No' when contacted for help. With proper planning against all odds, they managed to rescue the dog. Hats Off to you people, there are others who just need to learn from you.
