Anubha campaigns for inhumanely killed dog

Actress

Anubha Sourrya

and her mother, veteran actress Puspa Panda, are known for their love for animals. And on Sunday, they joined a protest march organised by few animal rights

activists

against killing of a pregnant

dog

in the city.

The dog, April, was beaten to death by a woman in

Samantarapur

area of the city a few days ago. Its premature puppies also died later. Members of an

animal welfare

group, which had rushed the dog to hospital, later lodged a police complaint.

Since then, the animal rights activists had started an online campaign,

Justice for April

, demanding action against the perpetrator. “We held the protest rally at the spot where the dog was killed. It’s inhumane to kill a pregnant animal. We want the accused to be booked for the crime,” Anubha said, adding that the protesters had followed the

social distancing

norms while seeking justice for April.
