Outrage Erupts Over Distressing Video of Dehydrated Horse in Kolkata

A distressing video from Kolkata showing a dehydrated horse collapsing from heatstroke has sparked public outrage and ignited a debate about the treatment of working animals in India. The footage, shared by PETA India, depicts the horse being beaten and dragged by its handler even after it fell, highlighting the severe neglect and harsh conditions faced by these animals in urban settings.

In response to the incident, PETA India called for an end to the use of horse-drawn carriages and urged local authorities to replace them with electric vehicles. Following the public outcry and PETA’s complaint, Kolkata Police announced that they had registered a First Information Report (FIR) against the horse handler and confirmed that the horse is now receiving medical care.

Public figures, including actor Pooja Bhatt, have also voiced their concerns, urging immediate action to ban horse-drawn carriages in favor of more humane alternatives. Social media users echoed these sentiments, demanding accountability for those who neglect the welfare of working animals.
