[-_-Moltres-_-]

 

Srinagar, Feb 6, KNT: Animal lovers in Kashmir have taken legal action against individuals involved in the alleged abuse and exploitation of animals, particularly horses.A formal First Information Report (FIR) has been lodged against those responsible for mistreating these animals. Mr. Dawood, an animal rights activist, told Kashmir News Trust that numerous people are exploiting horses for recreational purposes, often without proper care. He specifically pointed out Instagram pages such as ‘Kartooos’ and ‘Gangester’ that upload videos promoting irresponsible horse riding. According to Mr. Dawood, horse owners typically abandon their animals during the harsh winter months to avoid the costs of feeding and sheltering them. These unattended horses are then used by young men, leading to their mistreatment and injuries. Several horses have been found bleeding due to overuse and harsh handling. “We have discovered multiple cases of injured horses, some of them bleeding due to severe exploitation. We cannot remain silent while these innocent animals suffer,” Mr. Dawood stated. He confirmed that a formal case has been registered against those involved, urging authorities to take stringent action against animal cruelty. Animal rights activists have called for stricter regulations to protect animals from such exploitation, emphasizing the need for ethical treatment and responsible ownership. [KNT]
