This comes days after a girl in Pune's Baner area assaulted a pet cat. In the video, she was seen repeatedly striking the cat on the floor.
Pitbull attack
While a few days ago, a man was violently attacked by a Pitbull. As he screamed for help at the top of his voice, the dog refused to let go of his hand on July 2.
The video showed him sitting with his hand inside the mouth of the Pitbull. Then a person came with a rod and hit the dog. Water was also thrown on the dog. Later, in a second video, the man was seen with his bloodied hand as he was taken to the hospital by a two-wheeler rider.
