Witnesses witnessed scenes of rare violence. Mare owners left their animals “who collapsed in the street”to continue the procession. Not caring about the health of the horses, they left, finding other animals to replace the first ones.
A little later, Mayur found that the owner would never return. As for Kamlahe was able to observe the return of the owner, who wanted to recover his animal, without worrying about his state of health. An actor from the associative world confided a little later: “People urged him to take the animal to the hospital, but he didn’t bother”.

An anger that spreads
After the reports, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) IndiaAnd Kannan Animal Welfare (KAW) intervened to publicize these tragedies which took place almost simultaneously.
The first mare was able to be welcomed into a sanctuary after receiving extensive care. The second mare, who waited more than 12 hours in the street, was taken into care. His case was critical, with “diagnosis of laminitis (hoof disease)”as well as “swollen tendons and injuries on the back”. She was also moved to a sanctuary.
Animal welfare associations point out the danger of this mistreatment, which leads to “painful and irreversible conditions”.
