Team Peta pointed out that: "Research shows that people who commit acts of cruelty to animals are often repeated offenders who move on to hurting other animals or humans. In a study of domestic violence victims, 60% of women said that their abusive partners had harmed or killed their dogs or other animals."
A man killed a stray dog after it bit his son in Madhya Pradesh's Gwalior district, police said on Wednesday. The incident took place about a month back in Simariatal village, while a video of the animal killing surfaced on social media on Sunday.
