Actually this incident is very bad as innocent animals are getting affected by it. People should take this very seriously and should take immediate action against it. Today human being has become very selfish and they don’t think about anyone. This world is for everyone and for this reason everyone should get equal respect. We should not do this type of activity and police should take strict action against the people who are involved in this activity.
