Recent news reports state that medical students who were arrested for throwing a puppy off a rooftop were suspended by their medical college and are out on bail.

PETA has sent a letter to the college calling for the permanent expulsion of the students. We have also urged the police to apply Section 429 of the Indian Penal Code, stipulating a punishment for abusing animals of imprisonment, which may extend to five years, or a fine or both.

Poorva Joshipura, CEO of PETA India, says, “The individuals involved should cause everyone to be concerned, because a lack of empathy and a desire to exert power over the helpless invariably manifest themselves in other antisocial ways, including further violent crimes. The students should be expelled – no one who shows such a shocking lack of regard for life should be allowed to practice medicine”.

The dog, previously thought to be dead, has also been found alive.
