Actor seeks help from the police against horrible treatment meted out to the birds in his apartment complex and seeks help
from the police
Heena actor Rahul Bhat has lodged a police complaint against his housing society in Versova for inhuman treatment towards pigeons resulting in their death.
Says the avid animal lover who may be seen in Anurag Kashyap’s next, “They (residents) have closed the shafts of the building with nylon nets.
The birds, which have been inside, got trapped and died because they'd no food to eat or water to drink. That is happening for the last one month. I BEGAN fighting this lone battle with my society residents but persons are heartless.”
The actor adds, “Yesterday, I went to the cops and filed a complaint against the society and likewise called the fireplace brigade and animal welfare organisations.”
Rahul who has four pets, including two stray cats and a stray dog, adds, “The secretary (of the building) said that he would remove the nets in a single day. They are able to put folding nets, making it possible for the birds to move out.
I am not against keeping the birds away and putting the nets up. But at least, be sure that there's no bird trapped inside and dying. This can be a very inhuman way of treating animals. Residents are even rude with animal welfare societies.”
And it’s not only birds, but Rahul even alleges that cruel treatment was being meted out also to a stray dog within the building.
The actor says, “There was a dog within the building compound and the secretary issued a order to the entire watchmen to overcome him up with sticks and throw him out. I'VE got that dog in my care and am looking for a house for it. I'M sending the dog to a farmhouse in Karjat.”
