Limping Dogs: A treatment we used that worked!

Posted on May 15, 2011 by Vasudha Mehta / "Jaagruti"

Courtesy: The Pioneer By Hiranmay Karlekar Research shows that cruelty to animals often transmogrifies into criminal misdeeds and adds to a city’s list of crimes. The new Commissioner of Delhi Police would do well to crack down on those who treat animals without compassion. The new Commissioner of Delhi Police, Mr BK Gupta, doubtless has a [...]
