AHMEDABAD: A stray dog bore the brunt of some anti-social persons when it was stabbed its hindquarters. The animal was howling in pain when it was rescued from CTM by a city-based animal help foundation on Sunday. The activists said that the cruelty will result into permanent walking disability for the animal.

According to Asha Animal Foundation volunteers, they got a call on Sunday morning about a stray dog in need of help.

"When we reached the spot in Shridharnagar, we were utterly shocked. Somebody had actually stabbed the dog with a screw driver in its upper thigh. The tool was stabbed into the dog's body up to the handle. The dog was limping and crying out in pain. We had to extract the pick and give it sedatives to keep it calm. We are afraid that the injury would damage the rear legs beyond treatment," said a volunteer.
The volunteers got to know from the local residents that some of the shop owners did not like the fact that the dog sat on their doorstep and might have stabbed it to scare it away.
