Agra: Social media users express anger after dog buried alive
In what is sure to make every human furious, a dog was buried during a road construction in Agra. Videos and pictures that have gone viral on social media show the dog's body buried under tar. The barbarity made users and activists extremely angry, and rightly so. Agra's Sadar police department registered an FIR on Wednesday after the barrage of angry reactions.
First hot tar was poured, then road roller crushed animal
Social activist Naresh Paras said, "A fresh layer of coal tar was being laid on road from Phool Sayyed crossing towards Circuit House and the Taj Mahal." The dog was sleeping on the side of the road, but men at work decided not to wake it up and instead poured hot tar over the animal. If this wasn't enough, a road roller crushed the dog later.
Agra residents demand action against 'dog-killers'
