In Telangana, hundreds of dog killings are being reported by just three young people — A Goutham (35), M Preethi (22) and V Vinay (22) — who are committed to saving dogs.
Members of the Stray Animal Foundation of India (SAFI), the trio have been travelling from district to district, lodging complaints of mass killings of stray dogs allegedly carried out by panchayat administrators, including sarpanches and panchayat secretaries.
Preethi told The Indian Express that she became a dog lover at the age of 19.
“In small towns, villages and cities alike people are brutal to stray dogs.
“There are people who call me from the remotest of villages in Telangana,” he said, adding that he has been a dog lover since childhood.
