Woman Kills 8 Puppies In Front Of Their Mother Just To Teach The Dog A Brutal Lesson

Story here. Ever notice how people tend to assume otherwise unidentified animal abusers are male and sooo shocked to discover a female was the perp? Excerpt:

'The intermittent wails of four-year-old Ammu, a female stray dog that grew up among the residents of Lane No. 3, Krishnanagar, off Tumkur Road, have cast a pall of gloom over this locality of mostly ex-servicemen.

Residents are haunted by the memory of the dog digging her 15-day-old puppies out of their graves and trying to nurse them.

On March 15, her litter of eight was mercilessly flung onto the boulders, allegedly by Ponnamma, the wife of an ex-honorary flight lieutenant, a resident of this Jallahalli West neighbourhood. This she did reportedly to "teach the dog a lesson", who had dared to have puppies in a drain under her gate.

When we reached her doorstep to enquire about the incident, she refused to comment.

The ghastly incident has outraged the neighbourhood which has always been compassionate toward its stay dogs. It isn't uncommon here to spot a pet dog sharing a meal with a stray — such is the residents' love for their animals.'
