A man allegedly shot dead a dog with an unlicensed firearm after it fought with his pet dogs in Karnataka’s Shivamogga district
A man in Karnataka’s Shivamogga district shot and killed a dog with an unlicensed firearm after it engaged in a fight with his own pet dogs, according to police reports. The incident occurred around 11:15 am on Friday when the deceased dog's owner, Boreppa, was taking his cattle for a graze near Lingamurthy’s residence. As they passed by, a brown-colored male dog joined them.
When the dogs encountered, Lingamurthy, agitated by the conflict, allegedly discharged a firearm, believing it would deter further harm to his pets. The bullet struck the dog in its rear thigh, causing its immediate death. The firearm used was found to be unlicensed, as stated by Anandpur station sub-inspector Praveen. Following Boreppa’s complaint, the Anandapur police registered a case under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), and Arms Act, subsequently arresting Lingamurthy.
