A street dog named Khairey

We need to deal with cruelty against animals seriously.

It takes great hollowing of the human soul to beat a helpless street dog to death. Some of our fellow humans exhibit that emptiness time and again, often for the sake of evil pleasure, leaving the rest of us wondering whether we really deserve the company of animals that do not attack us unless they are in danger. A crude instance of human barbarity against an animal was on display recently when a video of two men beating a street dog named Khairey to death, in Kavre district, surfaced on social media. As per reports, the dog had allegedly bitten a child, and a combination of rage against the mongrel as well as enmity between two villages led to its killing. A small group of people, rightly outraged by the cruel killing of Khairey, congregated at Maitighar Mandala in Kathmandu on Wednesday with their pet dogs and demonstrated that it is not cool to kill a dog, or any other animal for that matter, on the basis of crazy whims of humans.
