How viral video of a stray dog’s invasion during MI vs GT match has angered activists & celebrities

In a recent Indian Premiere League (IPL) match between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Gujarat Titans (GT), a surprising guest made an unexpected appearance on the field, sparking a heated debate on animal cruelty. A video capturing the incident quickly went viral, igniting outrage and condemnation from various quarters.

The incident occurred when a dog ventured onto the field during the match, causing a temporary interruption. However, what followed has stirred significant controversy. Instead of calmly handling the situation, the response from security personnel and ground staff drew widespread criticism.

In the video shared by the Instagram account ‘Street Dogs Of Bombay,’ the dog can be seen being chased and kicked by individuals tasked with managing the match. The footage prompted sharp rebukes, with many denouncing the treatment of the helpless animal as unacceptable.
Actress Vedhika was among those who spoke out against the incident, expressing her dismay at the callousness displayed towards the dog. In a social media post, she lamented the lack of empathy and respect for other beings, calling for stricter measures against animal cruelty.

Vedhika’s sentiments were echoed by several other celebrities, including Varun Dhawan and Siddhanth Kapoor, who condemned the actions of both the ground staff and spectators. They emphasized the need for a more compassionate approach and urged for better handling of such situations in the future.

The incident has reignited discussions on the prevalence of animal abuse and the need for stronger laws to protect animals from harm. As calls for action grow louder, it remains to be seen how authorities will address the issue and ensure that such incidents are not repeated in the future.
