NAVI MUMBAI: Animal feeders and activists continue to face passive and active aggression from animal haters in different parts of Navi Mumbai.
At Sukapur, Panvel, an animal lover was physically assaulted for walking his dog. An NC complaint has been registered. At Nerul (east), feeders have expressed shock at how five healthy stray dogs, along with a mother dog and five puppies suddenly and suspiciously disappeared from the Nerul bus depot.
Talking about the physical attack on him, the Sukapur-Malewadi resident, Supriyo Mondal, said: "I have adopted two stray dogs, who I regularly take for walks at night. However, some local villagers seem to get agitated only because i take my dogs from the public road in front of them. A group of women and men had charged at me and one woman slapped me, while also abusing me."
