How can anyone be so inhumane towards such sweet speechless creatures? I had adopted 2 stray dogs which had been the victim of much torture at the hands of cantonment board. They had been once before dragged by their necks with wires around them, and thrown out but still returned, them they were blindfolded and taken out , yet they came back. So I heard of this on my last trip here and I adopted them and got them vaccinated. Now I have returned on my visit to them in Lahore , and I have found out that they have been shot by cantonment board!! I am in absolute shock !! These dogs were of no harm to anyone, yet someone complained to cantonment board and they had them shot. Please help me get justice for my dogs, and for other such dogs that have been victim to such cruel fate. PS: idk if the guy in the video had anything to do with the incident but his remorse and indifferent attitude and the statement “that pets are only always inside the house” boils my blood. People with such attitude in authority can’t get us anywhere with the safety of animals in future. It is a Sunday so unfortunately I couldn’t get hold of all the staff in the office but please help me get to the bottom of this and whoever is in charge of this atrocity with strays should immediately be told to act otherwise. Rip rano and rani Swipe left to see the videos of the dogs who were killed and decide for yourselves could they really harm anyone?

“The dogs slept there, ate there, and were not a threat to anyone. They were also vaccinated. They were such innocent dogs; do I show you their videos?” she, while crying, said in a video.

In response, the official asked her to visit again and discuss the matter with Malik Ijaz, who according to him was the authority figure he was filling in for. “Ma’am, I am telling you I do not have knowledge about this,” he said, adding that “pets are supposed to be kept inside homes.”

“So if they’re outside their homes you’re going to shoot them?” asked the actress angrily. But the official insisted that pets are not left outside.

She also penned an elaborate note along with the post. “How can anyone be so inhumane towards such sweet speechless creatures? I had adopted two stray dogs that had been victims of torture at the hands of the Cantonment Board. They had once been dragged by their necks with wires around them, and thrown out but still returned.”

“They were blindfolded and taken out, yet they came back. So I adopted them and got them vaccinated. And now that I return for my visit to them in Lahore, I find out that they have been shot by the Cantonment Board? I am in absolute shock!” Gill expressed.

“These dogs were of no harm to anyone, yet someone complained and they had them shot. Please help me get justice for my dogs, and for all the dogs who have been victim to such cruel fate,” she pleaded.

She continued, “I don’t know if the guy in the video had anything to do with the incident but his remorse and indifferent attitude along with the statement ‘that pets are only always inside the house’ boils my blood.
