A residential society in Noida has approached district authorities seeking the removal of a Great Dane accused of a string of attacks within the complex.
“The complaint highlighted that the incident was reportedly the third known attack involving the same Great Dane in recent months. The woman, along with several other people, are seen struggling to rescue the pug but fail to do so as the dog continues to attack till the pug lays motionless on the ground. The pug later succumbed to injuries.
Namita has filed a complaint against the dog owner at the Phase 2 police station, following which a case under sections 291 (negligent conduct with respect to animal) and 115(2) (voluntarily causing hurt) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and Animal Cruelty Act was registered against the dog owner and walker.
It has requested the authorities to take immediate action, including the dog’s removal from the society and a proper behavioural assessment,” said the board in a statement. The board said it understood residents’ concerns about the safety of children, senior citizens, other residents and pets following the incident. The move followed the latest incident on Sunday, when an eight-year-old pug was allegedly mauled to death by the German breed inside Grand Omaxe society in Sector 93B. CCTV footage that went viral after the incident on Sunday shows the black German breed attacking a woman and her pug inside the society.
In a communication to residents, the Grand Omaxe society’s board expressed condolences to the affected family and said it would extend all possible support and cooperation in the matter.
