Acid Attack on Mother Dog Sparks Outrage
15 Feb
Summary
- A nursing stray dog was doused with acid in Phool Wali Gali.
- An NGO reported this as the third animal attack in the area.
- Police are investigating the incident and acid sale practices.
In Lucknow's Phool Wali Gali, a stray dog recently gave birth to six puppies before becoming the victim of a vicious acid attack on Thursday night. An animal welfare NGO alerted authorities after finding the dog suffering from extensive chemical burns. This incident is the third of its kind reported from the Chowk locality within recent months.
The NGO has expressed grave concern over the easy availability of acid in nearby shops, where it is used for occupational purposes. They highlighted that containers are often left accessible, increasing the risk of misuse and harm to both animals and people.
Following the alert, an NGO volunteer administered first aid to the distressed animal and transported it to a veterinary facility. The dog was admitted for critical burn management and infection control. Residents have corroborated the NGO's claims, reporting previous attacks on stray animals in the area.
Local police have confirmed they received a complaint and are actively investigating the incident. The NGO has urged authorities to identify those responsible and to implement stricter monitoring of acid sales and storage practices in the region.
