A horrific video of a bunch of men hurling gulaal at a caged dog went popular on the internet last week. The video provoked uproar and a barrage of angry responses from social media users.
The puppy has now been rescued by actress-VJ Shibani Dandekar, which is great news for animal lovers. She announced on Instagram that the puppy Roxie had been saved and would be going to a “wonderful home.”
While sharing the video, she stated, “Remember Roxie and how badly she was treated a week ago?…swipe for the next story.”
Roxie was pictured in a car with two males in the next storey. As Anusha said, “We managed to rescue Roxie and she is on her way to a wonderful new home (heart emoji).”
Shibani’s efforts were lauded by the internet, and her sister Anusha Dandekar retweeted her storey. She wrote, “I don’t know if you remember the story of those boys throwing colour on this sweet soul while she was chained to a wall. I can’t show that video because it makes me sick. But, my sissy managed to get her saved! I am jumping with joy! Thank you @shibanidandekar for getting her out of there. She is now moving to a happy, beautiful new home. The best happy ending!.”
What exactly happened?
A video of two men throwing colours on a dog tethered to a wall went popular on the internet the day after Holi. The mute animal became visibly agitated as the man continued to toss gulaal and growled loudly in protest. As word of the video spread like wildfire on social media, a number of people, including celebrities, demanded that the owner be punished.
The video was shared by an Instagram user @tedthestoner and wrote, “It’s 2022 and people still don’t understand that it’s not funny to cause so much pain and mental trauma to animals. In this video, the guy posted this video on his Instagram @adityathakur6840. The dog is clearly in distress. The video is from Dehradun, uttarakhand. You can wash off your colors that contain chemicals and would irritate your skin, but that’s not possible for animals, especially stray animals. It’s not funny to put colors on their fur. It irritates them for days and months. Act like humans or maybe I should say, act like animals, cause they are definitely better than us.”
