Sangareddy, January 7: In a shocking display of animal cruelty, unidentified individuals tied the legs and mouths of 32 dogs before hurling them off a 40-foot-high bridge in Sangareddy's Eddumailaram village. The incident, believed to have occurred earlier this month, resulted in the death of 21 dogs, while 11 others remain in critical condition. The gruesome scene came to light on January 4 after a tip-off led volunteers from Citizens for Animals to the site. They discovered decomposing carcasses and injured dogs amidst stagnant water and filth.
According to a report by The Times of India, the surviving dogs were found among decomposing carcasses, with some bodies infested with maggots. The depth of the dumping site and the presence of stagnant water made the rescue operation particularly challenging. With assistance from the Animal Warriors Conservation Society and People for Animals Hyderabad, 11 injured dogs were retrieved and transported to a shelter in Nagole for medical care. 20 Street Dogs Shot Dead in Telangana: Three Men Kill 20 Canines in Mahabubnagar After Losing Pet Dog in Stray Dog Attack, Arrested (Watch Video).
