Pregnant goat dies after being assaulted by eight in India

FIR registered against absconding men

A resident of the Indian state of Haryana has claimed a pregnant goat of his died after being 'gang-raped' by eight.

Aslu, the owner of the goat, was searching for the missing animal when he found it dead. He then filed a police complaint against the suspects on July 26, according to NDTV.  Police said an autopsy will be conducted to further the the investigation, according  India Today.



Animal rights activist Meet Ashar pointed towards a marked rise in incidence of animal abuse. "People who are violent often start with animals as victims and then move on to humans. This case should, therefore, worry everyone," he said in a Facebook post.

"Such brutal acts of cruelty to animals are on the rise and all of us need to do our bit to reduce these crimes. Not only is this unacceptable because animals are harmed and brutally killed but such people are said to have a criminal mindset and oftentimes do not stop at hurting animals."
